Costa del Sol dams filled to the brim
Monday, March 11, 2013, 08:22 AM
The incredible amount of rain over the last couple of weeks has continued the trend that was started since November 2012, namely having to release water from the dams of Andalucia. The amount of water released since then has ascended to the equivalent of 3 years of typical consumption. Good weather for golf courses!

The Child's Farm - El Huerto del Niņo
Monday, March 4, 2013, 03:52 AM
A charming tradition for Easter week in Benahavis is the Huerto del Niņo (Farm of the Child, meaning Jesus). Four stewards are nominated every year to organise a dinner for the village on Easter Saturday, where they ask all residents to also contribute something. Examples are boxes of oranges, drinks, live chickens or pigs for children's entertainment, etc. Also on Sunday morning the 4 stewards take the statue of Mary and Jesus around the village in a procession, where there is also an effigee of Judas being pebbled! A truly spanish ambience for Easter week in Benahavis.
