 Marbella Beach in winter. by Beach_dog I recently started an intensive course in Spanish, I?m really impressed with the school I have chosen. The teachers are good and you learn the language in a friendly environment. I am studying 4 hours per day (two hours of grammer and 2 hours of conversation. They offer numerous courses at varying levels, you can even study while on holiday. Various types of accommadation are offered including places with Spanish families, hostels, or shared accommadation with other students. In addition to this there are extra-curricular activities you can join at no extra cost, Sevillana dancing, Salsa, a cine club showing Spanish movies and Culture classes, covering travel, history, art and literature. Once a month they hold tapas afternoons and occassional trips to other cities and places of interest. Address: Avda. Ricardo Soriano, 36. Maria III. 3rd floor 29600 Marbella Spain E-mail: school@spanishlanguagec.com Leave a Comment

One of the delights of walking along the promenade is the smell of sardines being barbecued over open olive wood fires. Several sardines are placed on a skewer and cooked over a wood fire. This BARBEQUED SARDINES dish is very popular and is known as an 'espeto de sardinas'. The beach bar restaurants cook the sardines in old boats which have been turned into impromptu barbeques and it takes skill to skewer the fish without breaking them, so they cook in their own fat, turning golden on the outside while remaining deliciously juicy inside.

 Palacio de Congressos by Beach_dog I've just returned from the Fera de Muestras. An annual event that runs for a week in November in Marbella. It is an exhibition of Spanish products, with a very high emphasis on food. The stands display food which you can purchase, cheeses, jamons, chorizo, pastries, sweets etc. many covering other regions of Spain. Many of the stands also give away free samples of the foods, you can imagine with my love of Spanish country produce I returned home very full. In the dining area were some tapas bars, I stopped at two, the first representing Asturias where I had chorizo (spicy sausage) and Fabada Asturiana (fabada bean caserole), the second representing Galicia where I had Pulpo (Octopus) and Queso Tetilla (a soft cheese). Other good are on display too, but I found it hard to drag myself away from the foodhall. It's held at Marbella's 'Palacio de Congressos' and entrance costs 3 Euros. Leave a Comment

by Geoff_Wright It is a custom in many towns and villages to leave doors open in order that visitors may take a peep inside churches and other buildings. This view was taken through the metal grille in front of this beautiful church. Unfortunately i have misplaced its name, but I'm sure Carmen will tell me. Leave a Comment

 Sierra Blanca mountains near Ojén. by Beach_dog November 1st. is a sad day, when people celebrate their departed loved ones. Its a national holiday in Spain. Around Marbella and the province of Malaga the day is marked with more cheerful celebrations. The families travel into the hills for the traditional Tostón. The roasting of 'chestnuts', which are then eaten with a glass of 'Anisette'. This occurs especially around the villages of Nagüeles, Ojén and Puerto Rico Bajo. Leave a Comment
