So, cunning plan, yesterday I chucked the pushbike in the back of the van, parked up for free on Avenida de la Palmera and cycled everywhere instead. It was so easy travelling across the city by bike...there are cycle lanes pretty much everywhere and it's FLAT...I recommend it, so much less stressful than trying to drive and park!
There is also a bike hire scheme http://www.sevici.es/ and you see loads of people using these bikes.
