Tío Pepe Returns to the Sun
Back in May I found out that I’d won one of the limited edition commemorative bottles of Tío Pepe, celebrating the return of the iconic neon sign to Puerta del Sol after a three-year absence. Well, it looked for awhile like I might not ever get it as the delivery company (which shall remain nameless)…

Jerez de la Frontera | Nuevo Hotel
I had been invited to Vinoble in Jerez de la Frontera, which meant having to stay over at least one night. I had told a friend that I was looking for somewhere “cheap & cheerful” where I could lay my head for a few hours – I knew I wouldn’t be spending much time wherever…

Málaga | Urban Living Holiday Apartments
A couple of weeks ago I booked a two-bedroom holiday apartment with Urban Living in Málaga for a three-day getaway with friends. I shared the apartment in calle Liborio with one friend (our other two friends were staying at another Urban Living apartment in calle Fajardo). The apartment was located on the third floor with…

Málaga | Hotel del Pintor
After three fabulous nights in Málaga mid-December I realised I needed/wanted to extend my visit by one more night. Unfortunately the lovely hotel I’d been staying at had no availability and they asked me if I would like them to call somewhere for me. Well, back in July while I was on summer holiday in…

Málaga | Hotel Room Mate Lola
Those of you who know me know that I usually opt for holiday apartments if I’m staying somewhere more than a night or two. I just like the extra space and having a small kitchen for making coffee and snacks. But on this recent trip to Málaga I came across a nice 3-night online offer…

Cádiz | Hotel Argantonio
The Argantonio is a small 2 star hotel in a traditional style building, not luxurious, but with considerable charm. I stayed there with a friend mid-November and our room on the third floor was simply decorated, clean and comfortable with a good sized bathroom that had a walk-in shower. Tip: ask for a room with…
