This month we have dedicated our main feature to Andalucia and the Costa del Sol. Despite the adverse press reports, it still is the best option for a holiday. Where else would you get guaranteed sunshine, miles of beaches, good hotels, prices still reasonable by comparison, only a short flight away from home without any of the scares that we hear about?

As long as people realise there is a difference between deciding to move to the Costa and visiting for holidays, you can’t go wrong. The real truth about the property crisis in Spain is highlighted in “In My Opinion”.

This month the “Prickly Pair” are all about professional career women and having (not) children of their own.

But the Web Express Guide visiting the Casino de Marbella and reporting on the Casino Restaurant makes excellent reading for those who like an elegant ambience at a reasonable cost.

I hope you will enjoy this edition while I look forward to the next.
