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.

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.

If you are visiting Malaga or the rest of Andalucia during October you can experience some dramatic weather changes from sunshine to thunderstorm and lightning. In some years the weather is quite nice with sunshine, light winds and temperatures around 20º C. But in other years cool air is coming from northern Europe and crosses the still very warm sea. The results are some spectacular thunderstorms and rainfalls of 25 to 50 millimetres in a very short time and local flooding is usually a problem in these situations. After this rainfalls it feels noticeably fresher, and when you are still out at a restaurant or bar and you are leaving as midnight approaches, you will need a sweater or light jacket. Read more »
