On the 25th of march is the next moto GP in Jerez. It´s the second grand prix after the race in Qatar. But before there is a Official Test on the racetrack of Jerez de la Frontera. From monday, 19th february until sunday, 25th february you can enjoy everything from MotoGP what you like. It´s not a real race, but I think it would be nice to see it. There is enough space for up to 250,000 people, so take some friends and go to the MotoGP in Jerez. It´s worth seeing it. And if you have some time left, Jerez is where sherry is originated and it is one of the original centres of Flamenco. Take one week off and go to Jerez.

I found someone who is selling some different kind of homes. More elegant, but very nice, and maybe a little bit more expensive. Fairline Andalucia has an office in Puerto Banus and one in San Roque. They are selling the nicest boats ever, as well as you can also buy just a part of the boat, so you are sharing it with someone else. If you don´t have enough money but you want to cruise around with your boat if you are again on the coast for holiday
