The latest news is that the opening of Corvera Airport in Murcia has been delayed until Summer 2013 at the earliest, The president of the Murcian government said a thousand technical requirements and approval of the equipment used still has to be carried out,

Luis del Rivero from constructors Sacyr was sacked last October as boss of the multinational and this has apparently slowed down the paperwork in Madrid. and he was the person putting things in place to get the airport operational.

San Javier parking Charges

Here we are back in the U.K for a few days, first day could not believe the weather it was hot,hot hot, 28 C , but yesterday these wet drops started falling out the sky and the sky was grey, but its nice to see every one, and catch up with all the gossip.

We flew out of Murcia- San Javier airport so i checked on the parking charges, to put the record straight, because when i phoned them they said it was 8 euros a day, NOT. the charges are 40 cents half an hour, 80cents 1 hour, 7.50 a day for 4 days, and after the 4th day 6.00 euros, complicated and pricey! The Airport security from Spain was not very strict they did not even check our passports, between the checkin desk and the boarding gate, but we heard they were even making you take your shoes off at East Midlands Airport, we will find out on the way back.
