This is quite wrong.Had some at breakfast...not sure why they were by the egg + bacon etc though ( along with green beans..)
This is quite right.
This is not the droid you are looking for.
Do yourself a MASSIVE favour and go to Malaga. Then go here , Casa Aranda - mess around in Google Maps, zoom out, twirl around etc, until you have worked out where it is - it is very near to the Market, which you should also go to if you've not been before.
You will find much happiness there.

Talking of which, and in danger of preaching to the choir, have you walked the Paseo ?
If not then i can recommend this mucho - walk from the Southern end of the beach, as ^above, Southwards to Benalmadena Marina - considerably less pretentious than the one @Marbella - then back up to the coast road and take a bus back to Torremolinos.
Lovely walk, loads of places to eat 'n' drink along the way, lots of interesting shops to duck into likewise, Marina at Benalmadena Costa low-key lovely, top day out.
*Pro tip* buy some cat treats - get some cat love here.

@Withnail Our hotel is just the other side of that shot( to the right of picture,) only a minute or so walk .Seen all the lovely cats, loads of them in the evening 
Did the walk along to benalmadena and back on our first day, then climbed the 130 steps up to the town ( our hotel is right next to the lift, but while I'm fit enough the steps it is....harder work coming back down the winding steps through the shops/bars way! My trainers and floor surface didn't get on together)
Walked right up the seafront the other way yesterday .
Been a scorcher since we got here , 33C on yesterdays temp gauge and another hot one today
Sitting on balcony with my cuppa, watching planes take off and the parrots playing in their nest .. their squawking is actually quite relaxing ( when hangover-less...

Totally agree that the Marina is much nicer than the one at Marbella (Puerto Banus), I love a day out in Benalmadena.

Couldn't have chosen a better hotel @Carole for both the hotel and position.
Great waking up to a view of the sea, mountains, miles of coastline and watching the parrots in the palm trees along the promenade .Got a big European / international judo competition taking place this weekend , actually in our hotel .The place has been full of the competitors, mostly Russians.
They have a weigh- In room for the contestants..... thought about nipping in and seeing if it really was my shorts that have shrunk since Ive been here. Gone rather tighter than the start of the hols ...

@Carole very difficult to measure return given all the variables. However most UK universities (even sh1t ones) are now charging 9k a year and this limit is set be abolished. Given that high quality red brick type places in Europe are often under 1k a year and your child would have more opportunities available the maths is not so simple.
Boris Johnson has his US passport.
Farage has his German wife.
I have my own contingency as I'm sure most people do.

If I was 18 now I wouldn't go to uni, the return does no longer appear to outweigh the costs. But then so many previously menial jobs now require a degree because so many are qualified, so perhaps getting a graduate tax and paying for your education in perpetuity is the only viable answer? Depressing if so.
If foreign education really is so cheap abroad I'd take that as my next option, while it is still there to take. The difference in debt after graduation is the deposit on a decent house.

Fees are very reasonable in most EU universities for all EU citizens. Shame a lot British citizens will soon be excluded from this and will no choice but to pay expensive fees to uk establishments or be lumped in the others in international fees for other establishments.
The returns are there but hard to see for a uk establishment

Forum O. G.
I am amazed that people will chuck that sort of real money at UK establishments, it's like reintroducing National Service and getting people to pay for it.

I must have the worst luck ever ... Someone jus bashed my new car . One of the neighbours forgot to put handbrake on and their car rolled off their drive, across the road, into mine
Got a big dent in the wheel arch now.
Least they came and told us tho. It was a silly mistake. It's just my luck!
A couple of yrs back some1 smashed into my brand spanking new Astra and Nerly wrote it off.
It's funny how the whole year or so I had the crappy punto , it never even got a scratch on it!
