Weren't Halcyon & Siesta one and the same?
Estartit first and drop off down the coast.

| Stayed in Llafranch, '85.
A beautiful little seaside village.
Always fancied going back but I doubt it's what it was.
Cheap as chips but an expensive little place nowadays.

Not quite sure how it worked pal.
Didn't Siesta actually have holiday sites over there also? (Calella de la Palafrugell).
Anyways, enough of coach trip holiday memory lane.
There's a vicious rumour going around we beat the World Champs last weekend.
Crazy, I know.

Palamos was my first holiday abroad in 83 , The was a pub at the back of the hotel that had pictures of Hull on the wall . I think the Spanish owner had married a Hull girl in the 70's .

It must have been the sophistication he fell for.

To be fair we always did the bus with our 2 young daughters, you had to have the mindset that it was all part of the holiday. Let’s face it, where else could you get a 2 week sunny holiday in Spain for that price?
