Almería half marathon
Have done a bit of research into transport:
There aren't a lot of options. Flying out on the Saturday, it's either 7:20 am from Birmingham or 7:50 from Gatwick. Including taxes, you can do the Birmingham route for £53 return and the Gatwick one for £109.
Trouble is, 7:20 from Brum would mean either getting up at 3am (usually the time I go to bed on Friday night/Sat morning), or getting a hotel up there Friday night. So the expense would be about the same.
Returning, there's a flight back to Birmingham midday Monday, while the Gatwick one returns on Tuesday at about the same time. Flights take about 2 hours 50 mins.
Including airport parking and accommodation and subsistence (ie Larios gin and the occasional mouthful of tortilla), the whole thing would cost between £250 and £300 I reckon.
