A few days ago, on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of july you could see something very ridiculous on the water. A Mini Cooper. Yes, the car. It is a kind of advertising or publicity for Mini. So they took a big Jetski and put the car body of a Mini Cooper on top of it. So it looks like there is a Mini driving on water. I found this photos on the spanish blog motorpasion.com because I havn´t taken any photos by myself. The first photo is taken in the port of Sotogrande (Cádiz), driving around. The second and third are in the port of La Duquesa (Málaga). I have read on another blog that this car is driving along the coast until the end of august. So maybe you can see in some other ports or on the beach. Read more »

If you are living in this area, you can always see nice cars, for example this Lamborghinio Murcielago, which I saw next to the Kempinski Hotel in Estepona/Marbella. The name Murciélago (spanish: bat) comes from a bull that survived 24 sword strokes in a bullfight in 1879 at the arena of Córdoba, and fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. The bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, a noted breeder, and went on to sire a line of famous fighting bulls. The Murciélago has the legendary Lamborghini V12 6.2 L engine, a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine. The Murcielago can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and to a top speed of 330 km/h. Read more »

San Luis de Sabinillas is a small town on the Costa del Sol in the extreme southwest of the province Málaga, rather known as Sabinillas. It was very typical of a Spanish fishing community which did not pay much importance to the aesthetics of architecture. Like most places on the Costa del Sol it has seen rapid growth over the last decade. But it will grow further on. Since the construction of a large block called Punta Almina in the 1980s it has also become a popular place for expats working on the coast and in Gibraltar. Because it’s only a 30 minutes drive to Gibraltar. Read more »
