Tuggers are such a wealth of information, so I wanted to ask a question re: timeshare exchange options for Spain and the Costa del Sol area.
We have both RCI and Interval, so either exchange company would work for us, and we are looking for June 2016. I have an ongoing search using my 1-bedroom Marriott week in Interval requesting either the Marbella or Malaga Marriott resort since we have Marriott preference. The ongoing search has been running for a while, but no hits so far.
Here is my question. This is our first Spain trip, and we really want to use our Costa del Sol week so see different areas and experience Spain. We have no plans to go to the beach, golf, or hang around the resort. We really do not want to be out in the suburbs, we would prefer to be in the heart of things, and eat local, not in a Marriott restaurant. We never really use those anyways, but it IS nice to have comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, washing machine, and a nice clean, fully-equipped kitchen for cooking breakfast in the morning.
But, there are tons of Costa del Sol timeshares in both RCI and II, and I don't know which ones would be a BETTER option, or if we should just stick with Marriott and rent a car to go to go into the city. We live in San Diego and live only 30 minutes from the beach, so
Our Costa del Sol week would be our last week of a 3-week trip to Spain from California. The first full week would be in Barcelona (in a rental apartment -- not booked yet), the 2nd week would be a big loop seeing Madrid, Toledo (day trip from Madrid), Cordoba, and Sevilla. The 3rd & final week being on the Costa del Sol, where we should be able to make day trips to Granada and Rhonda, etc. It will be such an expensive trip with 3 roundtrip airfares, the 2nd full week of 1 or 2 night hotel stays, a full week of apt-rental in Barcelona, plus the last 2 weeks with a rental car. My mind is swirling, at how big and expensive the whole trip is becoming. Our 3rd week has absolutely got to be a timeshare stay because it will save us a ton of money!
Any advice or suggestions from those who know Spain would be much appreciated. Thank you, in advance.
