Ideal for golf

courses, one near Torre del Mar and the other near Chilches, but the good news is that several new courses are being planned.

Every time a new course is built you can be sure that there will be a development of housing, often a mix of apartments, townhouses and villas and those who purchase a property around a new golf course can normally expect to negotiate very good club membership delas.

So, expect new courses near La Viñuela, Nerja and Torrox.

It seems almost perverse that an area that doesn’t have a huge amount of annual rainfall and can be very hot for those enjoying the pastime is looking to build more courses, but you can reckon if these companies are prepared to invest 10s of millions of euros, their research will have shown that the market exists.

Golfers are often happy to travel a reasonable distance in order to play on different courses and as they become more skilled, they want to be on the most challenging.

For the first time ever, the Sondheim Cup, which is the premier competition for women and juniors with Europe versus the USA will be held in Spain at Finca Cortesin in Casares in September and this will see many visitors arriving.

Bringing nature indoors

AN increasing number of people are incorporating plants and flowers into their homes and offices, either in pots, hanging baskets, plant walls, plant ladders, or a good old vase. Bringing nature indoors can clean the air and remove toxins, enhance mood, increase productivity, and even help with sleep. The Euro Weekly News has been looking at some of the best reasons to bring plants into your home and office spaces, and how they can improve our health and well-being.

As well as providing decoration, plants can help remove toxins from the air, such as carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and benzene. They also release oxygen, which can help improve air quality.

Plants and flowers can have a positive effect on our mood and mental health and can help improve our overall outlook, making us feel happier. Nurturing and caring for plants in the home also has a calming effect and can reduce stress levels and blood pressure. Having plants indoors can also increase productivity and concentration levels. Studies have shown that plants can help reduce distractions and improve focus, and that people with plants in their workspace feel more productive, happier, and calmer.

Plants and flowers can add a beautiful and natural touch to any indoor space, and some plants, such as lavender and chamomile, are known for their relaxing properties as well as helping to improve sleep.

Snake plants, spider plants, rubber plants, peace lilies, ferns, and English ivy are some of the best indoor plants for increasing oxygen levels and purifying the air.
