Sleep across the seats and claim the extra n/o allowance

Indalo Transport is from Mojacar in Almeria Province in South East Spain, and Gosport in Hampshire.
Mick Cox, the proprietor, provides and excellent service, to and from Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland
and France. I contacted Mick about 5 years ago to get a quote for friends of mine who were thinking
of a permanent move to Mojacar.

Ray Smyth.

Yes dealt with this company before ,very good . Thanks Ray for the photo.

Thank you for your comments Steve, A picture of where Indalo Transport yard is in Mojacar.
If you click on the 1st picture to enlarge it, toward the top left is the piece of land where 3 of his
vans are parked, and bottom right is what is known locally as " Cardiac Hill ", extremely steep.
Further up the picture is the less steep turning to climb up the hill to his yard, The 2nd picture
is at the bottom of " Cardiac Hill ", where several vehicles have tried to go up the hill, and a long
rear overhang would scape the tarmac when trying to go up or down. Cheers, Ray.
