Feliz Año Nuevo 2012

Cierra los ojos,

piensa en todo lo que te hizo sonreír en el año que termina

y olvídate de lo demás...

Ojalá esas sonrisas se te multipliquen por 2012.

Feliz Año Nuevo 2012

Close your eyes,

think in all that caused you to smile in the year that is finishing

And forget the rest ..

I hope those smiles multiply themselves for 2012.

Happy New Year 2012

Disabled Friendly Properties - Holiday Rentals

Firstly thank you Georgina Shaw for putting me in contact with http://www.holidayrentalontheweb.com/ who offer top quality rental property (short/long term) along the Costa del Sol, France, Italy and Greece).

What I especially like about this company is they have realised there is a demand from customers for specific special needs, whether it be ramps leading to an apartment, specific adapted bathroom facilities, bedrooms with enough room to manoeuvre a wheelchair, or even someone who requests the fewer steps the better.

The website is extremely user-friendly, just arrive to the Home Page and along the top right blue band you will see a link Disabled-friendly properties and off you go.  The properties have been classified into three groups, E1, E2 and E3 according to it's disability friendliness.  I must say having browsed for sometime, the properties do look top quality and absolutely pefect for a relaxing vacation.

For any additional requests/clarification of the super rental facilities click on the contact us, you can even call them via Skype. 

Finally another feature that I personally like is the human element, click on AboutUS and you can put a face to the name.


    

TORREMOLINOS train station to have vital accessibility

Currently the station at Torremolinos lacks vital ramps or lifts, persons with reduced mobility, wheelchair users or even those with pushchairs are not able to access the platforms.



Finally after years of complaints by passengers and three requests from the Town Hall to Renfe, the Ministry of Development has agreed to upgrade the facilities. The work is due for completion within the next two years.

The train line runs from Malaga City, stopping at Malaga Airport and finally to the town of Fuengirola.
