Calling All Golfers!

Andalucia's Costa del Sol is also known as the Costa del Golf, thanks to our booming golf industry and courses that spread gorgeous green fairways over much of Málaga's province. Now Andalucia.com is inviting all golfers to join the Andalucia.com golf team on March 7th at the Marbella Golf and Country Club. The British Chamber of Commerce is organising this lovely Spring Centenary Golf Tournament and it promises to be a wonderful day out at one of our premiere courses. The price of this unique day out is just 98 euros per person.

I Love Fusion

I Love Fusion

I have a confession to make, and blogs seem to be the fashionable place to confess these days: I am not a purist. I love fusion - flamenco fusion, that is. And why not? I know there is a movement pushing to preserve the heart and soul of traditional flamenco, and that's fine by me. There's nothing wrong with hanging on to Andalucian traditions, saving and preserving them for posterity.

Andalucia Strikes it Rich!

The big news this week is that someone - some lucky someone, or perhaps more than one someone - from the tiny town of Montefrio, Granada, has won the "Euromillones" lottery. At over 76 million euros, this is the biggest, fattest lottery prize yet to land on a Spanish town.

Raising Kids in Andalucia

Raising Kids in Andalucia

How often do we hear of yet another family that has moved to southern Spain because it's such a great place to raise children? Families from northern Europe and North America are especially charmed by the warmth of this family-centred Mediterranean society. It's hard not to notice how children are accepted wherever we go - at restaurants and other public venues - at all hours of the night and day. Many of us feel like we've taken a trip back in time to a friendlier era where things were "different"... better perhaps?

Who's the best?

Who's the best?

Lately I've been studying the way festivals are celebrated throughout Andalucia. It's often interesting to see how one single festival is celebrated differently from one town or city to another. To be honest, at first glance, all the carnivals looked alike to me, as did all the ferias or semana santas.

Land of the Olive

Would you believe that there is a GPS co-ordinate on record for every single commercial olive tree in Andalucia? That's right. That's how serious the olive production industry is in southern Spain.
