The recent times of economic downturn have seen many of us reconsidering our annual holiday plans, and whilst few of us have cut out a holiday completely the trend has certainly turned towards cheaper destinations. Holiday resorts outside of Europe have benefited from an increase in visitor numbers as Brits turned their backs on the previously popular destinations of Spain and France.

Figures released by various online travel agencies suggest that Spain has regained its position as one of the most popular destinations for British holidaymakers and with such a wide range of holiday homes available to rent it’s easy to see why the Spanish Costa’s are so favourable with British holidaymakers.

On the Costa del Sol you find a lot of beaches, sports facilities, real estates and… shopping centers. The biggest shopping center on the Costa del Sol or better, in Andalucia is La Cañada in Marbella. But there are some other shopping centers, which are just small and nice like Laguna Village. It is located first line beach on the New Golden Mile in Estepona, right next to the stunning Kempinski Hotel, Km 159 on the N-340. The commercial center opened its doors to the public in 2006, and now it is nearly full of shops, nicely decorated and finished.

And very important, there is plenty of parking. Read more »

The Nerja Fair (Feria de Nerja) has been running since the late 1980s to the familiar formula of decorated tents called “casetas” set up by some people to entertain and to party. The fair is every year between October 8th – 13th, because October 12th is National Holiday of Spain or Hispanic Day (Fiesta Nacional de España or Día de la Hispanidad). It is a national holiday which commemorates the exact date when Christopher Columbus first set a foot to America. So the last days of the fair people can enjoy, because nobody has to work. Read more »
