Newest Review: ... iron bridge, there is a cornish pasty shop called the Cornish Pride, which we did try on another day which was lovely! There is a cable car that goes along the front which looks really great, but it does go very very high 769metres above sea level high and takes about 15 minutes. I didn't go on it as no one else would go on it and I sure wasn't going to get on it by myself. I wish i had now ... more

Last year I was lucky enough to fly over to Malaga to visit my son , who had moved out to Spain with his girlfriend a few months earlier. I hadn't been to this part of Spain before so it was all new to me. He had rented out an apartment which overlooked the 9th hole of a gold course and had wonderful huge mountains in the background. With it's own swimming pool what more could you want! The weather in Malaga is usually very good with the odd rainfall only every now and then.

I don't drink Guinness in Turkey, or eat roast beef and Yorkshire pudding in Tenerife. So to find myself going to the south of Spain I was a touch anxious. I'd be there for 4 weeks, meeting up with a few friends and taking a course in Spanish in a vain attempt to learn a foreign language. Little did I expect to meet all of 1 person in union jack shorts and was bathed daily in Spanish/Italian culture from start to Finnish, Dutch and you name it! The course itself, at the Instituto Alhambra, was intensive but was only a few hours each morning and set out really well. The school and my room were both on the beach, itself littered with boats all used to roast ... Read the complete review
