... 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!
