Baobab Festival 2009

Sadly we missed the pre-festival warm up on the Casares beach recently but we were handed a flyer about the main Baobab Festival, which will be taking place 4-6 September 2009 at Estepona Playa del Cristo.
If you can speak Spanish, go check out their web page at www.myspace.com/baobabfestival and add them. I’m going to [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Seventeen

We finally managed to get Nelson out of bed – all that skimboarding is wearing him out! Down to Casares Beach which we all agree, apart from Puerto Banus, is our favourite where it’s more of the same.  Swimming, reading, tanning, skimboarding (Nelson, not us, it’s harder than it looks!) Up to the Chiringuito for [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Sixteen

Off to Puerto Banus today where I had to go looking with Nelson for a “skimboard” which is like a boogie board but made of plywood, and thinner.  He has decided that he wants to be a skimboarding champion and good for him.
We walked all around the very lovely port, full of fancy cars, fancy [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Fifteen

Susanne was up bright and early, in her jogging gear, power-walking the hills of Casares and taking pics.  She’s got some corkers so I’ve given her her own portfolio and you can see it here!

I sent the first of the marketing emails for our new term of the Money Gym Silver Elite, it’s a [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Fourteen

[singlepic id=104 w=120 h=120 float=]We dropped the girls and Spud off at Malaga airport and picked up Susanne “The Singles Gym” Jorgensen up at Gate 222, before heading back to Casares via the Supersol Supermarket.
Susanne loved the house immediately and Casares ditto!  A lunch of leftover paella and fresh tomato salad (we found a fresh [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Thirteen

[singlepic id=101 w=140 h=140 float=]We had a very disturbed night as some of the Spanish boys have decided it’s funny to ring our doorbell and run away, to see if they can wake the girls up.  I’m not kidding, every half an hour or so till 4.30am when I shouted out the window at them [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Twelve

Casares and it’s a pool day today as it’s ezine writing day for me.  Sarah spends the time adding some amazing widgets to the StoupaProperty.com and HolidayRentalCasaresSpain.com sites; one to make all the pics in your Flickr photostream float around in your sidebar, tiny sized and clickable.  One to make your tag cloud float around [...]

Book Review | Camel Humps & Strawberries

Camel Humps and Strawberries follows the progress of an ambitious house renovation project – Calle Arrabal – in a small Spanish village, Casares Spain.
Along the way, the writer Marianne Tommsen, captures the trials and tribulations suffered as they encounter Spanish legal formalities, a drunken architect, local builders and an unpleasant elderly eccentric.
This quirky and [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Eleven

Spud definitely wants to go home, Nelson’s not happy about staying on his own, a couple of the girls have offered half-heartedly to stay too to keep him company (but not his sister!).  We are talking to the airline now, to see what our options are.
After a bit of coaching/straight talking from Judith, I’ve discounted [...]

Casares Holiday | Day Ten

So the ladies arrived this morning – Raquel and her sister – to do a mid-holiday clean for us.  Roger had emailed the time over, but it had gone into my Spam Folder for no discernable reason, so we were caught on the hop a bit trying to get the kids up and dressed so [...]
