Affiliate links

Affiliate links

In this blog, I recommend various products and services:

For example:

  • Tours to places that I have visited and loved
  • Camping gear that I personally own and has been reliable 
  • High quality outdoor equipment
  • Guide books that I have used for my adventures
  • Other services that are highly recommended which I think might be useful for you to plan your trip in the Costa Blanca!

When I link to products and services, those links might be affiliate links. You are not obliged to click on them or buy anything. 

If you do click on any of the affiliate links and buy something within a certain timeframe I will earn a small commission percentage. 

The commission is paid by the retailers at no extra cost to you. 

However, any support that can help to keep this blog going is greatly appreciated. Thankyou!!

  • Amazon 
  • Get Your Guide
  • Tripadvisor*
  • DiscoverCars 
  • Hotellook
  • Hostelworld
  • GetTransfer.com
