Home Visits

There are a number of instances in which doctors or nurses can be sent to your home. Technically this is something that should be offered to you in times of need, however, in practice you're dealing with a public system and you would do well to know your rights and then insist on them (if necessary try "polite pleading" as it often has good results).

La Breña & Los Acantilados Walk

This wonderful circular walk gives you the chance to sample the twin natural habitats that make the Parque Natural de la Breña such a special treat, introducing you to its vast forest of stone pines as well as to the spectacular cliffs which rise 100m above one of the best beaches in Andalucía.

Wild Flowers - Lapiedra martinezii

This pretty, small bulbous perennial is native to Spain and Morocco. It is in the daffodil family, Amarylidaceae, and is a monotypic genus, so this is the only species.

Lapiedra martinezii has a single stem which grows to around 25cm tall and is oval-shaped with channelled ridges. There are usually 2-3 leaves from each bulb, which appear after flowering. These are very distinctive. They are dull-green, linear with a rounded tip and most obvious is the silvery-white central stripe on each leaf.

Cruces

Since ancient times, seventeen crosses have been placed along the streets of Padul to symbolise the religious faith of its inhabitants.

Fuengirola Beaches

Fuengirola is famous for its seven kilometre (5 mile) stretch of sandy beach, beginning at the Sohail Castle to the west (at the Beatriz Spa Hotel) and ending at Torreblanca to the east. The promenade is officially called Paseo Maritimo Rey de España. (Promenade).

Interpreting services

Every year Andalucía welcomes thousands of tourists, business people and new residents from other countries. Although many have a good understanding of the Spanish language, at one time or another they will usually all need the services of either a translator, who converts written texts from one language into another, or an interpreter who does the same with the spoken word.

El Chorrilo de Pechina

An old deserted mining hamlet in the Sierra Alhamilla, where Exodus: Gods and Kings was filmed. For Game of Thrones, a new set was built representing Vaes Dothrak, the only city in the Dothraki Sea. Sir Jorah Mormont and Daarid Naharis rescue Daenerys Targaryen here in Episode 4.

Gibraltar Airport - Parking

There is short stay parking at terminal, There are no long stay parking facilities. There is a multi-storey car park located on the far side of the runway on corner of Devils Tower Road and Winston Churchill Avenue by Sundial Roundabout.

Malaga Airport Museum

The Málaga Airport Museum is worth a visit whether you love airplanes, airports, local history or simply getting a glimpse inside a project 100% made-in-Málaga by a group of passionate, "Friends of the Museum" who are always dreaming up new exhibits and restoring new artifacts for display.

Flamenco

Unfortunately, Torremolinos no longer has a thriving flamenco scene and just about all the town's flamenco tablaos have disappeared, with the exception of one. Pepe Lopez has been entertaining tourists with regular flamenco shows since the early 1970s and it was once one of the most celebrated clubs in Andalucía.

Vehicle Tax

Every year you must pay a municipally imposed vehicle tax at your local town Hall. This tax "impuesto municipal sobre vehiculos de traccion mecanica" varies from municipality to municipality. As a general rule it is cheaper in rural areas, which sometimes leads Andalusian businesses with fleets of company vehicles to use a rural address for the official headquarters of their business.

Casa del Juzgado

Also known as “Ayuntamiento Viejo”, this building has been completely renovated. Of its original construction, only a seventeenth-century portal, narrow and divided into three sections, remains.

Ceuta - Cuisine

Few cities can offer visitors such a wide variety of dishes in their gastronomy as Ceuta. It is the home of many different cultures where each of them have left their stamp, as well as their culinary art, with the added advantage of being so near the sea. Visitors can try all kinds of fish and seafood from the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.

Seafood

Five of Andalucia's eight provinces have stretches of coastline (Almería, Granada, Málaga on the Mediterranean; Cádiz and Huelva on the Atlantic), while a sixth, Sevilla, has a tidal river and a seaport. So, you can imagine that the cooking of the coastal regions is distinguished by a huge variety of seafood. The fish market is a great place to get acquainted with the local catch.
