If you want to make sure that the flood lights are on in the evening on the court by the Mirachoro hotel then you need to book this with the Junta - but it is free and thee are lines for basketball and football and others I am not quiet sure about!

He said thatthe company itends to use the A22 and would never use the EN125 for transfers as it would simply take too long to travel along what he termed as a "Street".
