#MN387 Tonight

Marbella meet Victoria Herrero of CK La Quinta. This age care home is set in glorious gardens and prides itself on their personal and attentive approach to their multinational clients. Victoria is from The Netherlands and is a qualified nurse who has found her calling in ensuring our latter years are as comfortable as possible. Paula Chinchilla has been introduced to me by Victoria as she collaborates with CK La Quinta. Paula is a Life Coach and specialises in palliative home care. Together with her sister they have a dedicated team which is now also offering their services along the Costa del Sol. A very positive addition to our community indeed and I’m delighted for you all to meet her.

In my ‘out and about’ sections we go along to the Age Concern Marbella San Pedro luncheon, held at Everest Fusion a week ago. This was a particularly emblematic occasion as it was the day after the passing of my colleague and friend, James Kayll. There are no words to express enough sympathy for Lynda, his family and friends. His sudden and unexpected departure has been deeply felt within our community and he will be very much

Helping rural economies

CAMPERS and caravanners increase their contribution to rural economies, according to the UK Caravan and Motorhome Club.

Despite the continuing cost of living crisis, Caravan and Motorhome Club members are still intending to make the most of their holidays and spend in local economies in 2023.

Over 80 per cent of respondents in a recent survey said they intend to eat and drink out whilst on their UK touring holiday this year and over 90 per cent said they will buy food shopping locally.

A further 60 per cent said they would be purchasing takeaways and food from local restaurants whilst on their holiday. missed and dearly remembered. them. Marbella

According to the recent Centre of Economics and Business Research (CEBR) report commissioned by the Caravan and Motorhome Club, owners of leisure vehicles feel more in control of the cost of their holiday and whilst they are saving on accommodation, they are likely to spend money on shopping, eating out, visitor attractions, etc.

Owners of leisure vehicles also tend to stay away for slightly longer, increasing local spending. The CEBR report shows that motorhome owners’ average holiday length is nearly a whole day extra at 8.5 nights.

On a lighter note I also take you up to meet Nicole Jones and the International Theatre School dance group who recently completed in the Spanish show ‘Got Talent’. The girls’ experience has been second to none and I think we can all enjoy and benefit from their enthusiasm and vitality. I also popped along to the official opening Party of Picú Banus. This restaurant is right next to and belongs to the El Gaucho de Banus group of restaurants; all of which I’m proud and delighted to say are #ZeroHero Partners.
