    What an absolute joy that was to watch. If you believed the UK press you would think the world had stood still but you are living proof that life must go on and we deal with it as best and as safely as we can. La Isla is definitly on my list when im next in town! . Thank you! ❤️Your channel!

    Thankyou for the video , really enjoyed it 👍🏻💕👍🏻 I miss going to Benidorm , we used to go most years with my late Dad who absolutely loved it in Benidorm ❤️ This is one trip I’ll definitely take next time I visit 👍🏻
    It reminded me of the episode of Benidorm when they visited Peacock 🦚 Island to try and buy the land ! 😆 xx

    Another fab video Lucy. Been there a couple of times, even when the peacocks used to be there, what happened to them.?🤔 Glad to see the cafe opened as i read last year it had closed. We enjoyed a lovely hour or so in that cafe, we even missed a couple of the ferries back. 😂 got back in the end though. So many people put this trip down saying its crap and theres nothing there. Well your video proves otherwise. And we enjoyed our trip. Hopefully you may be able to do a few other boat trips to Calpe or Tabarca island.? I loved Tabarca island. So beautiful. Thanks Lucy..x 😁😁

What a difference with that Dutch man who puts his child ( and others) in danger every day and late evening AND DARES TO ASK FOR A DEPOSIT , THATS CHILD ABUSE !! (hallo c.p.s.) ?

    Another fantastic film. I have a couple of questions if I may. Do you have to state the time of the boat you want to return on, or can you just hop on any one ? Secondly re the submarine, do you book it at same time as boat ticket or do you buy it when you get to the island? Many thanks and thanks again for the films.

    • @LucyYoungTBE

      you can get any boat back you don't need to specify a time, when you get to the island go down to the left that's where the submarine is.
