Piers Morgan on Marbella

Thank you Piers Morgan for a great documentry on Marbella and Puerto Banus.

It was heartening to see a more positive view of Marbella for once.

So many people can't help but point out the negative things about Marbella but like anywhere in the world where there is wealth, there will be crime. Yes there are gangs operating and there are hits now and again, but everytime I put the news on about the UK I see similar stories.

Marbella, as portrayed is a great place to live and work. There are great restaurants, great clubs and lots of great people. You don't actually have to be uber rich to live here either as there are plenty of things to do on a lower budget.

So once again than you Piers for a well presented documentry.

Testing Malaga Airport Terminal 3

Aena, the Spanish airport authority is to start a recruitment drive for 1,800 volunteers to simulate general airport conditions at the new Malaga Airport Terminal 3 building in order to test the operational efficiency of the new terminal building.

Terminal 3 at Malaga Airport is due to open Easter 2010 so these trials are critical to expose any problematic areas in operation.

The 'passengers' will be given fake tickets and baggage and must act like 'real' passengers for both the departures and arrivals areas of the airport.

There will be a small sum paid the the recruited volunteers although at this moment we do not have any information as to the amount.

More information about the recruitment can be found at http://www.crezca.es/

Yves Rossy Jet Wing

Unfortunately the inter-continental world record attempt by Yves Rossy using his unique 'jet wing' has failed.

Rossy was due to fly from Morocco (Africa)  to Spain (Europe)  using his much publicised jet wing.

His flight was due to be between Morocco and the Costa de la Luz, renowned for its Levante winds (strong winds) and famous for attracting wind sport enthusiasts like wind-surfers and kite-surfers.

He was around 11 minutes in to the flight before he had to ditch in the Atlantic Ocean which separates the two continents and was rescued by the coastguard.

he is on his way to hospital for a check-up and will give a press conference as soon as possible to explain what went wrong.

Calahonda Property

It's not often that I write a post about property on the Costa del Sol but I thought this was worth a mention.

As many of you know as well as having the Get Spain website I co-run an Internet Marketing company based up in Cabopino (the junction before Calahonda). My business partners has a very nice Calahonda property and is looking to rent out the self contained apartment for holiday rentals.

He started it off this summer and with our Internet marketing experience and knowledge of how to convert traffic to leads it was not long before he had rented the property in Calahonda (within the first couple of days to be precise).

Depending upon the market and the way you present it to the public the Internet remains one of the best and most economical ways to generate enquiries and sales.

There are many things you can do to promote your business on the Internet. The Calahonda property website was just one of the successful projects that Artemis Internet Marketing has undertaken.

Motor Movers Spain

I am constantly being asked about shipping cars to Spain and am pleased to be able to recommend Motor Movers Spain.

Motor Movers Spain have shipped hundreds of cars and motorbikes to and from Spain and the UK and having spoken with a number of their clients, Motor Movers Spain appear to be totally professional and trustworthy.

We are very careful here at Get Spain who we recommend but I have no worries about recommending Motor Movers Spain for car shipping to Spain
