Pabellon de la Navegación

This impressive riverside building was originally designed for Expo 92, when it had replicas of Columbus' three ships moored outside (now at the Muelle de las Carabelas in La Rabida). Today the Pabellon houses an excellent interactive museum about maritime navigation.

Fashion in Marbella

Fashion shops are located in three areas. In the old town and centre of Marbella, in the La Cañada shopping centre, and in Puerto Banus, both in the Marina and in the comercial area next to it which includes Costa Marbella comercial centre (El Corte Inglés) and Marina Banus shopping centre.  

Museo de la Miel

The Honey Museum is an interpretation centre dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity through beekeeping. Its aim is to create an open-to-the-public space for disseminating the history of beekeeping, bee biology, and hive products.

Villanueva del Rosario

If you are searching for hidden treasure, the white village of Villanueva del Rosario could be a good starting point. Easily accessible at 39 kilometres north of Malaga City, just 2.5 kilometres off the main Malaga/Granada (A359) road, legend has it that during Roman times treasure was buried beneath the Peñon de Solis (3 kilometres from the village centre) and to this day it has never been recovered.

Ermita de las Ánimas

The chapel is a temple where older people often go to pray, make promises and offer donations. Located at the end of the urban area of Nacimiento, in the Barranco del Moro.

Genalguacil - Encuentros de Arte 2010

Here is an overview of the Los Encuentros de Arte del Valle del Genal.

Fuente Mauricio

There are many water fountains that we can see in Laroles, made with stone slabs.

Things to See in El Burgo village

Probably the first glimpse of the pueblo from any direction will contain the church and fortifications built into a small rocky outcrop. The castle and compact pueblo are perched on a hill within the river basin, surrounded by the district's larger hills and mountains. The entrance of the village is dominated by the post-Civil War triple arched bridge that carries the Malaga-Ronda road across the Río Turón. El Burgo's streets are narrow and visitors should park at the entrance to the pueblo, very near to the petrol station.

Cooking Courses in Andalucia

There are few better ways to learn about Andalucia than through its food, with all the fabuous local produce available, from the Sierra de Huelva's pure-bred acorn-fed free-range pork (cerdo iberico, which is made into the famous jamon iberico) to the unparalleled selection of mariscos (seafood) on the Costa de la Luz, salmorejo (thick cold tomato soup) from Cordoba, wild mushrooms in the Sierra de Grazalema, olive oil from Jaen.

Ermita de la Soledad

The chapel was built in the Las Cruces neighborhood in the second half of the sixteenth century to venerate the Virgen de la Soledad. The adjacent monument of the cross was built later to celebrate the Viacrucis.

Sausages in tomato sauce recipe

Heat on high just enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a skillet. Add the tomato sauce and cumin and cook, covered, until the tomato sauce begins to change to a more orangey color.

Lemmon

Lemmon disco bar in Marbella port, located in the Puerto Deportivo (Marina). Lemmon is certainly not as up market as the bars in Puerto Banas and the Marbella Marina in general has seen better days and could do with a facelift. Lemmon has its fans and other who are not a keen. Tends to me more local visitors.

Voting and Elections

Election campaigns are well organised in Spain. The general order of events is as follows: Voting - Foreigners wishing to vote in local (but not regional or national) elections need to prepare in advance in order to be admitted to the polls on election day. Municipal Elections - The last town hall municipal elections in Spain took place on the 22nd May 2011. They take place every four years.

Castillo El Castellón

There are certain confusions whether this castle was linked to Vélez Blanco or Rubio, since the Arab authors cite only, Vélez. In the tenth century it was certainly inhabited and there are descriptions of it the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

New Flamenco - Gypsy Kings

Massive in the USA, where their recordings often sell platinum, the Gypsy Kings are probably the most popular, and populist, nuevo flamenco band in the world. Famed for their 1987 hit, 'Bamboleo', they bring a distinctive French influence from their origins in the gypsy culture around Arles, Montpelier, where Spain's roma legacy overlaps the border of France.
