Suited and Booted!

All dressed up and no where to go! 

We saw this comical sight just a few days ago walking along the prom in Torremolinos.

There's nothing wrong with the dog its a Chinese Crested and this type is completely bald apart from tuffs of hair on the tip of its tail and the top of its head. I should think the suit was to protect it from the sun...not sure about the boots though !

Ardales Lakes - Andalucia

These stunning views of the Ardales Lakes are less than an hours drive from the beaches of the Costa del Sol. This area provides much of the water for the Malaga region and just now the lakes (of which there are 3) are almost fully stocked after the recent heavy downpours over the Christmas period. If you ever visit the Costa del Sol then a trip to this area is a must as you have such a vast contrast of scenery from the coastal resorts. You are very likely to see birds of prey such as eagles or vultures flying overhead....a very impressive sight with their 3 metre plus wingspan!

Benalmadena - Tivoli World

In the Costa del Sol resort of Benalmadena is Tivoli World where each Sunday is a large market and fair ground attractions for all the family. Throughout the year there are also many exhibitions and shows of various themes. Visit the Tivoli World site for more details. For those who are not afraid of heights is the chair lift to take you up to the mountain at the very back of the resort from where you can see stunning views of the coast.

Statues in Spain.

Wherever you go in Spain you will always come across some quite strange and elaborate statues. The ones seen here were taken in various parts of Spain with the 1st one from Baiona in the province of Pontevedra.

The 2nd is taken in the tourist resort of Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol.

The 3rd photo stands in the port of Vigo, another town in the province of Pontevedra.
