Filmed in Greece and Spain.

Quote There are many scenes where you can see clearly they were filmed in Spain, not in Greece. Most noticeable, the hotel they stay at the night before going to the beach is the HOTEL MIRAMAR ("sea view" in Spanish). Also the phone in the room is Spanish, some of the machines used in a close-by job-site belong to a Spanish rental company.

I found it good, yes. Just average gentle movie, not wonderful though.

The scene of the MAN and the Ford Transit took place in front ofTorre Punta del Cavall (bottom of the page). Middle Ages Defense Tower used to see the pirate's ships which, from Algeria, attacked the valencian coast until XVIII Century.
Now it's part of the Natural Park of Serra Gelada (next to Benidorm)

Hrrmmphh, just by reading these names, my throat is attacked by the acid reflux. Sorry, but this kind of "savoir vivre" is nothing for me. :/
The Spanish "Freixenet" (or it's repro-fakes, available here, too) are smoother to throat and stomach. :) And -for sure- much cheaper. ;)

Many thanks from me, too. Nice to hear positive things about the Benidorm-area. Here it has the worst reputation: a coast overbuilt with skyscraper-bunkers, dirty beaches and *ahem* overfilled with drunken, not-model-like-shaped British tourists. :whistle:
Sorry, this is not from me, I've never been there, but it's said very often about this area.

Vilero, if I knew you had the DVD I would have let you add the pics, as they are better than mine... (but you can still replace my pictures if you wish)
edit: oh, I see that you already did it, good ;)

Ooh ... I was just trying to guess what's the guys (old?) could say to this lightly dressed lady :D

..but so don't I, I'm not at all Champagne's fan ... I prefer much real wines and/or some scottish famous drinks :D

ingo, if I were you, better than the cheaper Freixenet I would have Non Plus Ultra, Gran Plus Ultra or Anna de Codorniu, all from Codorniu winery

@vilero: the problem for me is not the name or the price of wine or sparkling wine (o.k., the price a bit, too), it's the question, if it's digestible. So even the most expensivest Bordeaux-wines are a horror for me due their acid-content. :/

The for me most digestible wine is some Spanish red wine (no name-stuff, bottled in Germany - probably cheapest adulterated junk), one liter for 1,29 € at LIDL. Yes, this is maybe my outing as a philestine :whistle: - but I don't get a tummyache of it. This is more important for me.


I'm not sure, if we have the products from the Cordorniu-winery here, I'll look for that. As I wrote, here you even can buy lookalike-no-name-Freixenet for 1-2 Euro less. Not too bad, too. :whistle:
