Almeria Medio Maraton (merged threads)

[El Gordo]

First of all, I've merged the 2012 and 2011 Almeria threads, as they were beginning to overlap.

I've now booked my flight from Zurich to Almeria via Madrid. I'll be getting to Almeria on the Friday this time, and returning on the Tuesday after the race.

I'm aiming for the half marathon, but a lot depends on how things go between now and then. It won't be a lack of resolve -- just depends on whether I can avoid recurrence of injury. Am taking things pretty slowly and steadily at the moment, and making decent progress. If things continue on the same trajectory I should be in line for a stately half.

More important is accommodation. We had some earlier discussion when I think the conclusion was that a move into the town centre would be good.

I'm on a painfully slow connection at the moment so I can't follow up Antonio's earlier shortlist of hotels. I'll do a bit of research over the next day or two, if no one beats me to it.
