It's a shame I wasn't so lucky in my above long post about the two holidays, because as the volume of typing I had to do was so long I first completed it as an MS Word document which was grammatically perfect. I then just highlighted, copied & pasted it into the forum input field but I see that in the pasted copy a considerable number of words have become attached to each other. Thank God I've input direct within this post.
Does any member of this thread have a copy of one of the Lyons Tours 1966/67 brochures that they could scan the page that advertised Hotel Acapulco in Calella and email me a jpeg photo?
I have a copy of the brochure published by Lyons Tours Limited of Colne in 1966, which does include an entry for the Hotel Acapulco in Calella. As a new member I’m not able to post scans on this thread but will do do when I am able to.
