Spain, well-loved for its sunshine and laid-back pace of life, has been a favourite holiday destination since the 1970s. More and more people are now curious to explore the great cultural and historical diversity that makes this country so unique, with so much more to experience than great beaches and nightlife. Andalucia, widely considered the most Spanish region of Spain with its traditions of flamenco and bull-fighting, certainly merits more than just a whistle-stop tour. Its amazing array of attractions range from the wonder of the Moorish palaces of the Alhambra in Granada to the original cave-dwellings of Guadix, from the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada to the glitz and glamour of Marbella.

As I read in the Sur in English newspaper 25,000 candidates send their curriculum for jobs in the new Ikea shop in Malaga which is scheduled to open on October 30th. And in the end the new Ikea shop will bring more than 500 new jobs for the Malaga area. Approximately 15,000 visitors are expected on inauguration day and up to 18,000 on the first saturday after it. In total the new store expects to attract more than two million shoppers in the next year. As far as the opening of a second Ikea store in the province of Malaga is concerned Marbella would be the perfect location for it, or Estepona. But at first we have to wait for the first store to open. Maybe the next store will open its doors in Granada or Jerez.

The Alhambra is a palace of the Moorish monarchs of Granada and is situated on a hilly terrace on the south-eastern border of the city of Granada. From this plateau you have a wide view of the city and plain of Granada and of the heights of the Sierra Nevada. The Alhambra comprises three separate parts: The fortress, the palace and the gardens which all together cover an area of about 142,000 m². It is enclosed by a strongly fortified wall, which is flanked by thirteen towers. The palace was built between 1248 and 1354, started by Muhammed Ibn Al Ahma, an Arab prince. A lot of different people tried to complete the palace, just to mention Yusuf I (1333-54), Muhammad V (1354-91), Charles V (1516–1556) and Philip V (1700–1746). Read more »
