Where we state that a property has Satellite T.V. – this could either be Spanish TDT (which offers a multitude of channels in Spanish language and a few English channels) or full satellite TV with a variety of channels from various European countries. With most Spanish channels there is an option for English subtitles.
Most are maintained and in commission all year round (a few are in use from Easter to the end of October). Some guests do swim in the winter months even though the water does tend to be on the cold side from November through to the end of April. Sometimes pool equipment breaks or needs maintenance. We cannot be held responsible if a pool is not in commission due to circumstances beyond our control though every effort will be made to solve any problem as quickly as possible.
