Dear Richard
I feel you may have booked a property in Jaen quesada Andalucia post code 23470 which is some distance inland from cuidad quesada Alicante province post code 03170 which is near torrevieja so no wonder you are geographically baffled. Get back to your booking agent to check. We once had the same problem trying to find quesada on our sat nav. Hope this helps

If you read the previous page Richard has cancelled the booking and made another booking nearer Torreveja, so all seems OK now.

Hope your trip goes well Richard.

yes, we'll have a look at it when we get there. That was the original point of booking that place, but since no one can determine within 50 mile radius where the apartment actually is... :D

Think you'll find they're the other way round...
This is the map of 03170 postcode area:-

People alos keep replying to this, having failed to read and comprehend the problem, which ive detailed at least three times.

The original link contained two towns in the address, one at the start and one at the end. One town had the street mentioned, but the building was not on that street if you went up and down it in streetview, the other town had the right postcode but no street of that name, but hints the buildings looked correct. Neither Google maps nor my (new) satnav could find the address as printed.

Please dont reply any further unless you have read the entire thread and understand the orginal confusion! It was caused by an illogical, incorrect address that didnt compute, and apart from that its now academic, ive cancelled and booked a place that CAN be found on Google Maps! And what this thread shows is that there is indeed confusion about how spanish addresses work.!
