Just coming for the reception?
Things will be kicking off at Finca Casablanca from about 1300 on Saturday 12th June 09, so that is the guide for your arrival time. There is a plan for an informal BBQ / pool party on the Sunday, depending on weather and what is left over!
Valencia is the preferable airport to land at as it is less than an hour to Xativa by train, which is the local station to Finca Casablanca, or a 45min drive. Alicante is the next best option but is at least a 2hr train to Xativa which is quite expensive - about 86 return for 2 people. Plus if the plane lands after 6pm on the way out, or leaves before 1130am on the way back it will probably cost you a hotel room each way too.
Visit www.renfe.es for Spanish train times and prices, and click here for a map of these locations.
To get to Finca Casablanca, we will arrange for a minibus to collect guest at regular intervals from a location in Xativa, more details to follow closer to the time.
Below are flight times and prices from various UK airports to Valencia and Alicante, and are correct as of 5th December 2010 (best options as we see it are in bold). Please note that this is assuming only hand luggage and doesn't include credit/debit card fees, etc.

Making a holiday of it?
If you are planning on making a holiday of the trip out to Spain, here are a couple of other ideas.
Spanish trains- Visit www.renfe.es for Spainish train times and prices.
- British Airways offer relatively cheap flights from Heathrow to Madrid, and it is then a 3hr train to Xativa.
- A number of low-cost airlines fly to Barcelona (or Barcelona Girona) which is about a 4hr train, changing in Valencia.
