'IM INDOORS RETURNS

My other half came back from an 8 day trip to the UK. He went last Wednesday as he had to accommpany his mother back to Enbgland.  She is in her 90's and finds it difficult to walk very far due to angina. So he had an hilarious time getting airport buggies and wheelchairs arranged.

For the return trip he wasn't with his mother, but this time with his sister! Very family orientated.  I usually go to Malaga Airport to collect him, but I carry my stock for my Farmer's Market, up in Velez-Malaga, in the back of the car, so this time there wasn't enough room for 4 people plus luggage.

EL INGENIO SHOPPING CENTRE - my second home

We had our 'romantic' (I don't think) reunion in Eroski as I was shopping and having coffee. I love that shopping centre. It is between Torre del Mar and Velez Malaga.  It has been my 'second home' since it was built about 3 or 4 years ago. I just enjoy the admosphere. There are loads of small shops, coffee bars, restaurants, plus the Eroski Supermarket itself and a large Dunnes Store. Bewteen all of them, you can buy just about anything you need from a fancy scarf to a car tyre.

To my knowledge there are at least 5 of these very large shopping Malls between Torrox Village and Malaga, and that is just the bottom strip of the Andalucian coast.  When you visit the El Ingenio one it makes you wonder just how the local population managed before it was built. You hardly ever go there and see the car park empty. Besides the shopping area, there is a 12 screen cinema and a large bowling alley.
