I am actually moving up distance to the half marathon and have selected the Torreveja half on the 28th of Feb. That time of year temp is perfect at around 15-16 degrees and the highest elevation of the course is 2metres so has all the makings of a very good course to get a good time on. I got my flights for less than a hundred but at the moment are about 140 and accomodation is ery reasonable and great atmosphere surrounding the race
