WELCOME TO GIBRALTAR LIFE
‘John Lennon and Yoko Ono married in Gibraltar on March 16th 1969.’ Photo supplied by Getty Images
'So we were in Paris and we were calling Peter Brown, and said, ‘We want to get married. Where can we go?’ And he called back and said, ‘Gibraltar’s the only place.’ So – ‘OK, let’s go!’ And we went there and it was beautiful. It’s the Pillar of Hercules, and also symbolically they called it the End of the World at one period. There’s some name besides Pillar of Hercules – but they thought the world outside was a mystery from there, so it was like the Gateway to the World. So we liked it in the symbolic sense, and the Rock foundation of our relationship. It was very romantic. It’s all in the song The Ballad of John and Yoko. Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream. I couldn’t find a white suit I had sort of off white corduroy trousers and a white jacket. Yoko had all white on.’ John Lennon 1980 ‘ Anthology ’ ‘Gibraltar was like a little sunny dream’ , only a gifted wordsmith like John Lennon could so succinctly sum up the beauty and essence of Gibraltar , many people who visit Gibraltar only get to scratch the surface of what this area has to offer, I believe to fully understand what Gibraltarians love about their home you need to spend time here with the people, walking the back streets, watching the children play after school , visiting the little local shops, bars and cafés. For such a small place it is easy to find some quiet area in Gibraltar to reflect upon the beauty of the whole place and it’s character, take a walk or cable car up the rock and marvel at the ocean and exotic lands set out before you and to look back at Spain, as far as the distant Sierra Nevada and consider the centuries of history between these countries, as John Lennon also says it is like the ‘Gateway to the World ’. In every issue of every Gibraltar Life we give our reasons why people should visit, stay and maybe even move to Gibraltar and we give a guide for the visiting tourist, but we also like to focus on a few areas in more detail and give a little of the history. In this issue, with thanks to the Gibraltar Heritage Trust we have some great articles about the Great Siege Tunnels, the Alameda Gardens and the Trafalgar Cemetery. I hope you enjoy this issue of Gibraltar Life and if you have anything at all you would like to know or if you would like to contribute to future issues we would love to hear from you. Paul Raine
Gibraltar Life Magazine was created by the merger of two long established property companies based in the UK and Gibraltar, who currently operate offices in several countries with a further network of associated agents offering many overseas destinations including Spain, Portugal and the USA. The magazine was created to provide an insight into everyday life in Gibraltar and features guest articles from the local citizens and businesses that know Gibraltar best. Through Gibraltar Life, we aim to cast a spotlight on news and events, as well as the current property market and tourism and leisure in Gibraltar. Our magazine is primarily aimed at people who may be thinking of visiting, living in or relocating to Gibraltar or the surrounding areas of the Costa del Sol. The Magazine is available to read in digital format online, with physical copies also available to pick up across Gibraltar at many shops, offices, hotels, bars and cafes, as well as the arrivals area of the Cruise Terminal. Outside of Gibraltar, readers can find Gibraltar Life in Raine and Co’s UK offices and at property exhibitions in the UK, as well as in select locations across the Costa Del Sol.

Alameda Botanical Gardens and Wildlife Park Next to the cable car base station is the Alameda Botanical Gardens, an often overlooked gem in Gibraltar. The gardens are home to a wide variety of plant species and are a great place to spend a few hours relaxing. The gardens are also home to the only wildlife park in Gibraltar, where you can go and visit animals rescued from the exotic pet trade and confiscated by customs. Entrance to the gardens is free, or you can combine it with a trip to the wildlife park for £6.
Dolphin boat trip The Strait of Gibraltar is unique because it connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, creating a biodiverse landscape perfect for dolphin spotting. There are two companies offering boat trips in Gibraltar, both of whom can be found at Ocean Village. Prices start at £20 for adults. Europa Point Europa Point is the Southernmost tip of Gibraltar and on a clear day you can see right across the bay to Africa. To get to Europa Point you can take a tour, a taxi or get the route 2 bus from Marketplace. Queensway Quay Queensway Quay is another must visit location in Gibraltar, home to a variety of small pleasure boats and yachts. The views across the quay and out to the ocean behind are also spectacular and can be enjoyed from one of the many cafes and restaurants.
Top of The Rock Without a doubt the most popular tourist attraction in Gibraltar, the Top of The Rock is home to a number of key attractions including St Michael's Cave, The Skywalk, The Windsor Suspension Bridge and The Great Siege Tunnels. The Top of The Rock is also home to Gibraltar's population of world famous Barbary Macaques so there really is something for everyone to enjoy at Gibraltar's top destination. The nature reserve can be accessed via a cable car and your ticket includes access to all of the above mentioned attractions and many more. Tickets can be purchased online and cost £30.
A Gibraltar TRAVEL GUIDE
Ocean Village Ocean Village is the perfect place to visit in Gibraltar if you want to enjoy a drink or a meal by the water. You could easily spend an afternoon watching the boats coming in and out from one of the many cafes and restaurants. Beaches There are a total of six beaches in Gibraltar, each amazing in their own right and for different reasons. Catalan Bay is arguably the most popular with stunning views of the Rock and the picturesque coloured buildings, while Eastern Beach is the biggest and the perfect location for plane spotters. Casemates Square Casemates is the perfect spot to watch the world go by from one of the many cafes. There are also weekly re-enactments at 12pm on Saturday's, conducted by the Gibraltar Re-enactment Society for all to enjoy.
Supermarkets Gibraltar has one English supermarket, Morrison's, as well as a number of UK stockists including Tesco, M&S and Waitrose, meaning you don't necessarily have to lose your favourite brands when moving to Gibraltar. Education Gibraltar has a superb state and private education system, and with the opening of the University of Gibraltar, the system is now complete.
Transport Links There are regular buses that connect the whole territory of Gibraltar as well as an international airport to connect you with the UK, making Gibraltar the perfect base to take advantage of the climate whilst still being able to access the UK.
Diverse Landscapes The Rock, which was once thought to mark the end of the discovered world, now acts as a viewpoint and the headland for the nature reserve. Education Gibraltar has a superb state and private education system based on the UK curriculum, and with the opening of the University of Gibraltar, the system is now complete.
Proximity to Spain Gibraltar shares a border with Spain, where you can drive or take advantage of public transport connections, including bus routes to destinations right across Spain including Marbella, Malaga, Estepona and even as far as Seville.
Climate Gibraltar’s geography provides a temperate, year-round micro climate, with an average of 300 sunshine days per year. Fiscal Advantages Standard corporation tax is 12.5%, rising to 20% for energy and utility companies, and there is no capital gains tax, sales tax or VAT here in Gibraltar.
Language Gibraltar’s official language is English, with Spanish also spoken locally, although a knowledge of Spanish isn't a necessity when moving to Gibraltar.

Beaches Gibraltar has six beaches, each with their own unique characteristics to suit every sun seeker. Camp Bay allows visitors to enjoy a drink by the sea with a number of fantastic cafes and bars and Sandy Bay offers a quiet and secluded location to get away from the summer crowds. Currency Gibraltar uses the currency of Pounds Sterling (like in the UK) meaning you can shop using your existing cash, as well as any UK bank card with no fees.
Covid-19 Requirements Currently, to enter Gibraltar from any country in the world, you need to fill out a passenger locator form on the government website before travel. If you are fully vaccinated, you must submit a copy of your vaccination certificate and book a Covid-19 lateral flow arrivals test. This is currently priced at £30 for non-residents and £25 for residents. The booth is located just outside the airport. You must be tested immediately upon your arrival in Gibraltar. If you are not fully vaccinated, as well as the arrivals test, you must also take a pre-departure test prior to arrival in Gibraltar. The negative result must be uploaded to the passenger locator form. Covid-19 guidance is subject to change. Please check the government website for the latest up to date information. Finding accommodation At EFPG-Raine we have a wide variety of properties available for rent and sale across Gibraltar. If you are considering moving to Gibraltar and looking for property, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team. Consult our website: https://efpg-raine.com for current property availability.

For many of us, moving and living abroad is a lifestyle we can only dream about having for ourselves. However, now more than ever due to the Covid-19 pandemic, people are making the decision to put themselves and their priorities first to make that dream a reality. Gibraltar is no exception to this changing trend, with property sales and rentals soaring as sun-seekers take to the skies in search of new opportunities, and of course, the boasted 300 sunshine days on average per year. Despite the benefits that come with moving to Gibraltar, most namely the friendly expat community, language similarities and British shops, moving can be a stressful time for us all, whether you’re moving one mile down the road or one thousand miles overseas. This article will cover all of the things you need to consider when moving to Gibraltar from the UK, with the aim of making the process as simple and stress free as possible from start to finish.
Personal transport One of the first things you need to consider is how you are going to get yourself from the UK to Gibraltar and for this you have several options. 1) By plane Despite Gibraltar being a small overseas territory, it does have its own International Airport with direct routes to many popular UK airports multiple times a day. From the UK, you can currently travel from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London City, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester and Southampton with one of four airlines – EasyJet, British Airways, Wizz Air and Eastern Airways, meaning that no matter where you are in the UK you are never too far away from a three hour flight to Gibraltar.
2) By car If you want to bring your car to Gibraltar, choosing to go through the Eurotunnel to Calais and then making the approximate 21 hour journey might be the right decision for you. Despite the journey time being considerably longer than travelling by plane, taking the car allows you the flexibility to transit at your own pace. Having a car also allows you to bring a considerable amount of luggage with you depending on the size of your vehicle, potentially saving you time and money when you get to the transporting belongings phase of moving. 3) By ferry (and car) The final option is to get the Ferry, run by Brittany Ferries to either Bilbao or Santander from Portsmouth or Plymouth. This is the priciest option of the three, however using the ferry to get to the top of Spain cuts the driving time down significantly whilst still allowing you the flexibility of bringing some of your belongings with you in the car. The drive times in comparison from Santander or Bilbao are approximately 10 hours, just over half of the driving you would have to do coming from Calais. Transporting belongings 1) By car If you are travelling by car, you may decide to move your belongings yourself if you travel light. Alternatively, you can hire transport from a chosen provider in your country to be able to drive to Gibraltar with a larger capacity for belongings. 2) Hiring movers If you don’t want to drive yourself and your belongings over to Gibraltar, you can also consider hiring private movers near you to transport your belongings from your home country.

FACT-FILE
This first tunnel became Windsor Gallery, where four guns were eventually mounted. The Notch, rather than being mounted with a single gun, was hollowed out into a large chamber, named St. George’s Hall, and fitted with several guns. Three other galleries were completed in this initial stage of the excavation,King's and Queen's Lines, and Cornwallis Chamber. Further tunnels were dug, such as a communications tunnel between the King’s and Queen’s. The digging was dangerous work, as the Spanish were aware of the operation due to the explosive use of gunpowder. Several men were wounded, and one killed, by snipers’ bullets.These tunnels were repurposed during the Second World War and connecting tunnels were made with the Lower Galleries, but these were unstably constructed, and have since collapsed. George Augustus Eliott, then Governor of Gibraltar, is said to have offered £1000 to any man who could put guns on the other side of the Rock. Whether Ince ever received this reward is unknown, but he did receive a valuable horse and a plot of land up the Rock, known today as Ince’s Farm. Some stories state that he contracted for his work, at a rate of 1 guinea per running foot, another claiming he charged one real per foot cube.
tUNNELS
The Great Siege Tunnels are thought of as emblematic of the military ingenuity of the British officers, particularly Sergeant-Major Ince, responsible for Gibraltar’s defence during the Great Siege. The fact that their construction begun by accident and coincidence, then, comes as a surprise to many.The Northern and Eastern faces of Gibraltar were naturally defended by a sandy isthmus and sheer cliff-faces, respectively. Man-made fortifications provided further defence along the North and West, including the Town. The only perceived weakness was a blind-spot to the North-East. The proposal was made by Ince in 1782 to place a gun on the Notch, a projection near the top of the Rock, by tunnelling up to it. As tunnelling began, the smoke from the gunpowder used to assist in mining the tunnels made working, and indeed breathing, difficult. The decision was made to blast ventilation holes into the sides of the shaft, but too much powder was used. Drinkwater’s account states “the explosion was so amazingly loud, that almost the whole of the Enemy's camp turned out at the report… The original intention of this opening was to communicate air to the workmen… but, on examining the aperture more closely, an idea was conceived of mounting a gun to bear on all the Enemy's batteries”.This was the beginning of the Great Siege Tunnels.

TRAFALGAR CEMETERY
Formerly known as Southport Ditch Cemetery, Trafalgar Cemetery was named as such many years after the actual battle took place. Of the numerous graves within the cemetery only two belong to those who died due to the battle, both from wounds received. These two graves belong to Captain Thomas Norman of the HMS Mars, and Lieutenant William Forster of the HMS Colossus. The majority of those who died in the Battle of Trafalgar are buried at sea, their remains indistinguishable from the many at the bottom of the Bay. Most of the other graves are from those who died in other naval battles, with the remainder made up of people who died in Gibraltar’s two Yellow Fever epidemics in 1804 and 1814. In addition, many tombstones were transferred from Alameda Gardens and St. Jago’s Cemetery also. The cemetery has not been in use for centuries, firstly due to the lack of available space due to the movement of headstones from other burial grounds, and secondly due to the risk that the soil is contaminated due to the number of victims of Yellow Fever that are buried there.

Gardens
The Alameda Gardens are a prime location to spot both local and migratory bird species. Gibraltar lies on one of the most significant migratory bottlenecks in Europe and almost all the species which migrate past Gibraltar, with the exception of seabirds, can be observed in the Gardens. The Dell, a sub-tropical garden designed by head gardener Giuseppe Codali in the 19th Century, is one of Gibraltar’s most popular wedding venues The gardens also boast an Open Air Theatre which hosts a wide variety of events, plays, shows and pageants throughout the summer months. The Glasshouse was opened in 2016 and houses tropical species such as orchids and bromeliads on the one side and arid desert plants on the other. It can be visited at set times. The gardens also host the only wildlife park in Gibraltar. The park cares for exotic animals confiscated by Gibraltar Customs as well as unwanted exotic pets. Its Cotton Topped Tamarins are on loan from international zoos to raise awareness of important endangered species through conservation education. More information at www.awcp.gi

The site upon which the Alameda Gardens stand today was originally set aside by Lieutenant-Governor Sir George Don in 1816 as a natural leisure area where the soldiers of the garrison, as well as the public, could find refuge from the sun and enjoy the cool shade. The name ‘Alameda’ derives from the Spanish word for a public walkway or promenade, shaded with trees, which is what the gardens were laid out to be. The establishment of the Alameda was funded through private contributions and a public lottery, which were used to set up a recreational garden full of interlocking paths, shaded courtyards and terraced beds, using primarily the locally sourced Jurassic limestone that makes up the Rock itself. The layout of the Alameda remains largely unchanged, with a series of cannons, mortars and commemorative busts indicating both the venerable age of the Gardens and Gibraltar’s significant and very interesting military history. Several of the monuments are listed under the Gibraltar Heritage and Antiquities Act. After falling into disrepair in the 1970s and 80s, Alameda Gardens were eventually restored and converted into a Botanical Garden in 1991. The Alameda thus took on an educational and conservationist role and remains a prime location for research into Gibraltar’s fauna and flora.
The changing face of Private Healthcare in Gibraltar The Specialist Medical Clinic 20 years ago most private healthcare consultations in Gibraltar occurred in small clinical “rooms” dotted around the town. At that time, one prominent clinic in Marina Bay saw specialist doctors visiting from the UK and provided a primary care and multi-specialist service to its patients; a model replicated by todays established clinics. More recently newer clinics have been established which offer patients a bigger choice of options. Patients often wonder whether private health care is superior to public sector. The truth is that just because you are paying for private medical services, it does not mean you will get better care! In the UK doctors often work simultaneously for both the NHS and private providers and, just like the UK, doctors in Gibraltar are legally required to abide by stringent clinical governance guidelines and do what is clinically and morally right no matter where they are working! The Specialist Medical Clinic (SMC) was founded in 2008 by local doctors who wanted to make a difference to private healthcare standards. Located in the ICC building at Grand Casemates Square, the clinic started with just 2 consulting rooms and a small treatment room. Building its reputation on excellent evidence based medicine, high quality clinical standards akin to those found in the UK and a happy, efficient and friendly patient interface, today, with 10 consulting rooms, an operating / endoscopy facility plus a dedicated eye centre, the clinic is home to over 40 specialist clinicians. At SMC, we believe private healthcare services should be seen as complimentary to public funded services, not competitors! With the majority of the day-to-day demands for urgent and acute healthcare being placed on the public sector, UK style private providers like us are not burdened with the extremely expensive overriding responsibility of providing complete healthcare services to the whole population at risk. Simply put, at SMC, we afford private patients the luxury of spending more time with the clinician, and a choice as to when, where, and with whom they have their consultations, investigations and treatments. www.smc.gi In January 2022, we announced that we were building Gibraltar’s first private hospital and diagnostics centre. Due to open later in the year, and conveniently located in the middle of town, the hospital will provide day-case and short stay surgical care, imaging, and extended out-patient services across 20 specialist treatment centres. As we prepare to take our next bold step, our clinical and administration teams look forward to welcoming you soon to Gibraltar’s newest and biggest premium healthcare experience.

With an average of 2,900 hours of sunshine a year and temperatures reaching highs of 30 degrees in the summer, its easy to see why Brits choose to flock to this little piece of paradise in the sun, both to live and holiday. The Costa Del Sol stretches from Nerja in the East all the way to Gibraltar in the West. It includes the upmarket resorts of Marbella, Puerto Banus and Estepona, as well as the more family orientated resorts of Torremolinos and Fuengirola. The biggest city on the Costa Del Sol is Malaga, situated right in the middle of the Costa, allowing vital airport connections from Spain to the rest of Europe, with daily flights to France, Germany and Switzerland to name a few, as well as the UK. Whether you are in need of a break in the sun or a more permanent adventure, the Costa Del Sol has everything you could need to enjoy your time in the sun.

We hope you enjoy exploring the Costa Del Sol with us!
A white village tour
Blas Infante was born in Casares and is known as the father of Andalusia. This tour through beautiful white villages takes you through various provinces: Malaga, Granada, Huelva, Cordoba and Sevilla. If you look on the map you will see that this covers a tremendous area and it abounds with small white villages that nestle atop of mountains and have become legend in Andalusia. This is for two main reasons: First, people preferred to live away from the coast to avoid the marauding Moors. Second, the villagers were ordered to apply the white chalk-like paint to their properties to sanitize them against insects and the like. This had the happy coincidence of making them so picturesque. You can always buck the trend and visit what is known as the smurf village which was once a white village until one year they painted it a smurf blue. It had such a positive impact on tourism that they sought special dispensation to keep it. The village is called Juzgar and is set amidst the beautiful hills of the Serrania Ronda. It receives a lot more visitors now it is no longer a white village. However, it is still traditional with its modest architecture and rural setting. Back in Blas Infante’s time it was still white. Blas Infante was born to wealthy landed gentry on 5th of July, 1885. The son of Luis Infante Andrades and Ginesa Perez Romo. His future as landowner was assured. He was sent to boarding school in Archidona and returned to Casares in 1902 to work as a transcriber in the Municipal Court to help his father. In 1904, he began studying at the Faculty of Law in Granada, graduating with a degree within two years. He then studied to be a notary public. He was quite a boy wonder. He had qualified as a Notary Public before he was old enough to practice. He was also a deep thinker and united the various provinces together under the green, white and green Andalusian flag to strengthen and support the sense of Identity. This is what gave him the title ‘The Father of Andalusia’ and is why thousands of school children visit Casares with their teachers on day trips every year. If you want a project to take up that includes getting to know the area, perhaps the Blas Infante Route would appeal. Eight Andalusian boroughs where he lived have got together to combine their offerings in homage of the man who did so much to unite Andalusia. The route begins in his birthplace, Casares, on the Costa del Sol. It’s a traditional white village easily accessible from the Costa del Sol A7. Casares Coast is past Sabinillas in the direction of Gibraltar coming from Malaga direction. (Or just Google it.) You come across the Casares roundabout where you can head off the coast road heading inland to the beautiful and historic village. There are some fantastic restaurants on the way up to the village and you can wander the cobblestone streets soaking up the charm of this beautiful white village. Next on the Blas Infante Routeis the easily accessible Manilva where you get to enjoy the beauties of the beaches and the views from higher up in Moscatel grape growing country. This sweet grape was originally brought here by the Moors and can be bought direct from the growers at harvest time in September. Moving further from Blas Infante’s birthplace to where he went to boarding school introduces you to the splendid municipality of Archidona, inland in the province of Malaga. The streets of Archidona are steeped in history and well worth a visit. This was where Blas Infante began to develop his awareness of Andalusia as a singular entity. Cantillana, in the province of Sevilla, was where Blas Infante first worked after qualifying as a notary. As mentioned earlier, he was 24 when he qualified and had to wait another year before he was old enough to practice. He also had an office in the Town Hall of Peñaflor – which is like a conurbation of Cantillana. His Notary is still today owned by the Town Hall and serves as their Cultural Centre. He was also active in political elections which meant he travelled often to Ronda. In 1918, the year ‘The Great War’ ended, he was instrumental in the design of the Andalusian flag. He led the Regional Meeting of the Andalusian Provinces in Ronda. He was a gifted writer and politician as well as skilled lawyer. He designed the Andalusian symbols the coat of arms and the motto: ‘Andalusia for itself, for Spain and for Humanity .’Ronda is one of those ‘must visit’ towns that can be really well appreciated by taking the train. You can catch the train in La Linea Estacion San Roque where you can park your car. A day trip is cheap and a wonderful way to see the spectacular scenery and the amazing engineering that helped forge tunnels through limestone. The views from Ronda gorge are spectacular. Imagine the scene in 1918 as Blas Infante stood surveying the spectacular vistas and believed they had left behind forever the barbarity of World War 1. They were creating a better future. Plus, he was in love. Blas Infante fell in love in Cantillana/Peñaflor. He married in 1919. Cantillana is a village of about 11,000 inhabitants but punches well above its weight. Located near the Quadalquivir River, it has been important since Roman and Arabic times and an important source for stone, coal and iron throughout the centuries.This town is 32 kms from Sevilla and should not be missed. In 1922 Blas Infante moved his Notary to Isla Cristina on the Atlantic coast in Huelva province. These men fished tuna and sardines and their ancestors themselves came south from Valencia, Catalan and Portugal. When here in Isla Cristina he saved a fox cub captured by hunters and the cub lived with him and his family in their house, maybe even on their furniture like some dogs and cats do in our homes today, maybe even on their furniture like some dogs and cats do in our homes today. His next port of call was Coria del Río. It was here that he built his first ever home in 1931. It was centered around 10 main themes and was called the House of Happiness. The property was closer to another district, La Puebla del Rio, than to the old town of Coria del Rio. As such, it also forms part of this route.Castro del Rio is now part of modern-day Cordoba province and is the final stop on the Blas Infante Route. It is an artisanal town with a rich cultural heritage that stems from at least the 11th century. It was also influential in the development of the father of Andalusia. There were many unlanded peasants who had no permanent home. They lived a desperate nomadic existence travelling to wherever they could find work. A ground swell of intellectual support was building for these unfortunate folk who lived beyond the pale. They became touch stones that inspired the ideals of land and liberty that Blas Infante embodied. This man from a conservative family was making political waves. He was a powerful man, a Notary of strong intellect and revolutionary fervour. His aim was to create something substantial and fair for Andalusian peasants. Many ‘havenots’ shared similar suffering throughout the various provinces. It was what united them. Blas Infante was gaining more political power and was even setting about making changes to legislation. He had become a dangerous political opponent who represented a large number of the population. On 2nd August 1936 he was dragged from his home – ‘The House of Happiness’ and imprisoned by Spanish Falangists in the corn Exchange. A few days later he was hauled to the old cinema, the Jauregui, which had been converted into a prison. On the 10th of August he was unceremoniously bundled onto a truck and driven out to Km 4 on the Sevilla – Carmona Road. At dawn of the following day he faced a firing squad and his body was taken to San Fernando Cemetery in Sevilla. His body lay unclaimed because his family was left completely in the dark as to his whereabouts. So, he was thrown into a communal mass grave where he remains to this day. A noble birth and ignoble death but his memory lives on. So, too, does this exciting homage. A gauntlet thrown down to all who visit Andalusia on holiday and fancy travelling around a bit to get to know the place. Blas Infante designed the Andalusian flag. It is made up of three horizontal fields of green, white and green, the same colours as the women’s flag of the Commune of Casares. Blas Infante wrote that these colours reflected the countryside, the villages and the blossoming lemon trees. For a visionary like Blas Infante that was not enough. He also added that the flag represented purity and hope in the future of Andalusia. “My village is there, in the extreme rise of a southern slope, nestled like an eaglet on the heights of an advanced rock, eternally facing the escarpments of Africa, across the Strait, sensing the encouragement of the interior sea in its coastline which roars sweetly on days of calm…” Article and imagery courtesy of Tracy Thomson, TMT SPAIN and the Casares Town Hall.

A guide to Puerto Banus
A visit to Marbella would not be complete without a visit to the marina of Puerto Banus, located right on the seafront this marina town is to the south-west of Marbella and features a host of exciting things to see and do. Spending some time in this town really gives you a glimpse of the playground of the ultra-rich and famous. The super fashionable marina is all about being seen, and everything is high end from the shopping, the restaurants and the exclusive nightlife, to the million pound yachts moored up and the supercars lining the port. It’s certainly a flamboyant destination, drawing the world’s ultra-rich and a true enclave of ultimate luxury. Puerto Banus is also known for its top nightlife, great beaches and famous beach clubs including Plaza Beach, La Sala Beach and the Ocean Club where celebrities are often spotted during the summer season. Stroll around the marina Puerto Banus’ defining feature is of course, the marina, named after property developer Jose Banus. This luxury marina opened back in 1970, imitating a traditional fishing village design. This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing stroll after lunch, basking in the glorious Spanish sun and marvelling at the many beautiful and impressive boats docked here. “My favourite thing to do in Puerto Banus is definitely walking along the marina and marvel at the luxurious yachts. The playground of the jet set makes me daydream! Luckily there are plenty of shops and restaurants where you can indulge in Andalusian food and just sit and people watch, many of the shops are quite luxurious so be ready to spend.” One of the strongest memories people take away from any trip is the dining experience,so you will be pleased to know that this area of Spain has some excellent food options with many delicious meals to be had. One of the best spots in Puerto Banus to visit has to be La Habana Lounge. Known for its excellent fresh seafood – the shrimp being a particular favourite as well as the black rice. If you are looking for a quiet meal, while enjoying the Andalusian sunshine, then this spot looking out over the marina is the one for you. One of the top three restaurants in Marbella on TripAdvisor, the restaurant says: “Visitors will enjoy a pleasant meal in an excellent location, right at the front of Puerto Banús, overlooking the yachts and lovely sunsets.” “You can’t leave Puerto Banus or Marbella without having tried the most typical dish from Costa del Sol, espetos. The fish skewers are slowly grilled over an open fire on the beach, traditionally the skewer consists of sardines but sometimes they use dorada or calamari too, perfect to accompany with a Spanish rose wine. Relax on the beaches of Puerto Banus Any holiday to Spain has to involve a relaxing session on the beach. Luckily, Puerto Banus is home to some incredible beaches, including Playa Nueva Andalucia, Playa Puerto Banus, Playa del Rio Verde, and Mistral Beach. No matter if you want to enjoy a spot of sunbathing, a drink at the beach clubs, or a splash in the sea, the beaches of Puerto Banus won’t disappoint. The picturesque Playa Rio Verde is certainly a standout, a verified oasis right here in the Costa del Sol – awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness and facilities, it’s a top spot to mark down on your to-do list. There’s even remains of an ancient Roman villa nearby. For some of the best water sports in the area, Hollywood Watersports on nearby Mistral Beach is a great choice. With jet skiing, flyboarding, paddle surfing, banana boats and more, there’s fun for all to be had. The team at Hollywood Watersports told us: “We have been on the beach for 10 years in Puerto Banus – always with the best and new water sports from May to September. If you need more information, you can come to the beach every day between 11am and 7pm when the weather is good.” Party at salsa bars and cocktail bars Puerto Banus is great during the day but as soon as the sun comes down it really comes to life. For those who have come to the area to let down their hair a little, the nightlife of Puerto Banus will be a big attraction, being known for its excellent clubs and cocktail bars. For a party by the beach, La Sala by the Sea is a great option. This beach club comes complete with a pool, live DJs, cocktail menu and a great atmosphere. There are also a number of great salsa clubs in town if you really want to get your dancing shoes on. Of course, if you are looking for a less lively evening, Puerto Banus has a nice mix to offer, as does the wider Marbella area. Visit San Pedro Alcantara As touched on earlier, the ability to nip over to lovely San Pedro Alcantara is another appealing prospect of any trip to Puerto Banus. Just a 10-minute drive away, this small town won’t fail to please. The Thursday market is an attraction to take note of, where the locals are busy buying and selling fruit, veg, clothes, and souvenirs. There’s also the park of Los tres Jardines, a spacious area full of plants and trees, as well as two children’s playgrounds. The Boulevard of San Pedro is also worth checking out, featuring small restaurants, water activities, an open-air ice rink, and playgrounds – a truly top location for families to enjoy. With plenty of tapas on offer and a delightful local atmosphere, an afternoon in San Pedro Alcantara is an exciting prospect. The Paseo or Promanade of San Pedro de Alcantara is probably the best in the area with many Chiringitos where you can sit and look out over the sea to the coastline of Morocco and over to Gibraltar.
