Geology

There is much to be learned about the fascinating limestone formations throughout Andalucía and what better way to get to know them than with an experienced, certified speleologist - or specialist in the study of caves.

Horno Árabe

A bread-baking oven is traditionally known as a ‘tahona’ in Spanish. The tahona in Chirivel is one of the oldest buildings in the town, with its construction predating that of the church. These ovens were always communal, and locals would bring their bread dough to be baked at a price.

Costa del Sol - Cinema

The old cinemas of Costa del Sol and Malalaga have largely been replaced by large multi-screen air-conditioned complexes, showing mainly Spanish and dubbed US films (very few are subtitled in other languages). Going to the cinema is an idea 'rainy day activity'. Many tourists would not consider doing something that you can do at home all year round, but it can still be an interesting experience, especially for those studying Spanish.

Haricot beans with clams

Place the clams in a saucepan with some salt and just enough water to cover; cook on high just until most have opened. Set aside about ¾ cup of the broth and drain off the rest, and remove the clam from the shells, leaving only some shells intact. Discard any clams that have not opened. Rinse the beans well and set aside.

Maya Marbella

Maya lounge by day and Maya disco bar by evening Marbella port, located in the Puerto Deportivo (Marina). More up market than others in the port. Th e Marbella Marina in general has seen better days and could do with a facelift.

Fuentes

Manilva Roman baths & Aquaduct

Sulphur is the ninth most abundant element of the universe and is one of nature´s great jokes on the human race. Known to the ancients as "Brimstone" it is one of the elements essential to life as a constituent of various biologically active compounds. Pure sulphur is odourless, but fun-loving nature frequently combines it with hydrogen to produce hydrogen sulphide, which has the odour of rotten eggs.

Semana Santa in Granada

Processions take place throughout the province along with Passion Plays as well. There is one more special claim to fame by the provincial capital in that no where else in Andalucia can you experience Semana Santa with the Alhambra in the background.

Balneario de Marmolejo

The Marmolejo public spa building dates from the first half of the twentieth century, and is housed in an eclectically styled set of buildings on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Among its beautiful gardens, a building from the end of the nineteenth century particularly stands out, known as Casa del Médico.

Gerald Brennan

Gerald Brennan, who lived for many years in Churriana, gave English lessons to Spanish children in a class room above an old house in the Plaza Costa del Sol during the late 1950s. Some of the older residents of the town remember Brennan as a rather eccentric Englishman whom the villagers found 'peculiar'.

Huelva City Beaches

Huelva's capital city is home to just one beach, El Espigon. It is a relatively young beach, in that it was 'born' after works on the Juan Carlos I dock in the seventies. The 3 kilometre beach is located on a sand spit that can be accessed only by driving across las Marismas del Odiel wetland area.
