Hello and welcome...

 

... to issue 38 and it's a big Happy Birthday to Costa Life Magazine. 4 years old this month! The cover this month is one from the Lakes which is what was on the first cover fours ago, also I went back to El Chorro as it were and did a re write of the original first Costa Getaways. It’s still a beautiful part of Spain which amazingly people still don’t know about or haven’t made the hour’s trip to visit. You really should go if you have never been, especially during the summer where the lakes offer a real alternative to the beach.

Whilst I was up there I bumped into a mountain climbing instructor who offered to take us across the ‘‘Camino Del Rey’’ which you can read about in the article. It is a climb up the side of the gorge which ends up at 200 metres above the water! I don’t know if it was because I was up a mountain at the time but for some reason I said yes so sharon and I are doing it in a couple of weeks. Apparently it is a big myth about the access to the climb being restricted and is done by climbers all the time. We shall see, watch this space for next month’s issue.
We have also gone back to perfect bound this month, we have always wanted to do so as it does give the magazine a classier feel so we thought why not do it on our birthday.

It’s been an enjoyable but hard slog to get to this point and we know we couldn’t have done it without all our clients both old and new, our contributors and writers and of course you, our readers who pick up Costa Life every month. Thank you for everything and we hope that we can continue in keeping Costa Life as your favourite magazine here on the coast. It is still tough out there for many but keep plugging away and you will get there.
Everything goes in cycles which means lows as well as highs but with determination we can achieve anything.

The ball this year is on September 13th and it is open to anyone who wants to come to the Tamisa Golf Hotel for a great night out.Tickets are 40 euros and there will be information on how you can reserve them in the next issue or call or email if you want to reserve some sooner.

The summer is as good as here and we are looking forward to getting out and about over the next few months. It was great to be in El Chorro where I could feel that inland heat and the Spanish ambience, what Spain is really about. Make sure you get the sun cream on in the next few weeks as it is going to be hot. See you in June! JUNE!
