A Taste of Spain.

Spain is to set up promotional campaigns in Britain to try boost tourism for this year. The reason behind this is the 22% drop in bookings from the UK market during the first 3 months of this year
''A Taste of Spain'' promotions are to be held in open air festivals in large cities such as London & Edinburgh. These will include all things which we associate with Spain, such as Flamenco Dancers, Spanish horses will be performing and giant paellas will be on the festival menus!

Estepona - Costa del Sol


One of the quieter resorts on the Costa del Sol is situated 75km down the coast from Malaga airport. Maybe this is the reason it still retains much of its fishing village character, with none of the high rise apartment blocks as seen in other resorts along the coast.
In the older part of town is where you will find the typical white washed homes of the locals, with their flower filled balconies and the decorative wrought iron gateways.

To the west of the seafront is the marina where you can stroll around the magnificent yachts moored here, and also early in the morning see the fishing boats land their catch and see the auction taking place.
