Fuengirola Accommodation - Costa del Sol - 14/05/08

Really charming little Spanish house, called 'El Dique' by the Columbian professor, Lola de Amador, who used to live there, twenty seven years ago, when I first stayed in Fuengirola, and fell in love, with the town, and especially with 'El Dique!' Fuengirola has grown hugely in the intervening years, but my little house remains as quirky and delightful as ever. The beach used to be at the bottom of the garden, before the 'Paseo Maritimo', or promenade, was built. Now, you must go out the gate (which locks), and down the street, a walk of two minutes, or if you run into a neighbour, and drop into Jimmy's Bar, or go for a coffee, on the Paseo, or a quick snack, or or or....don·t rush, it·s Spain ! The beach is so close, waiting for you.

Well all this is just fine, I'm sure you're thinking, but what about the house. Well, the wee house, it's just the sort of creature where you could see a fairy living, it's so sweet. Now this means if 'high tech' or 'post modern' is your thing, forget it. Sorry, go to a hotel, you will not like it. I do not mean to be rude, it's just simple truth. However, if you like a cosy, comfortable, relaxed, laid-back,romantic sort of time, well then you'll be in exactly the right place. Lots of people like it so much, they come back, again and again. I've had two rentee's ask "could they buy it?" already, this year. So why I·m I advertising it, if it·s so popular? The lady who used to "do" it for me retired, so in June 2006, I thought -why not ?
