Welcome, everyone, to the July edition of The Sentinella. Summer is certainly here and the
heat is on... but it looks like we are going to be enjoying it without many tourists and in the best way we can again, given the circumstances. There are still no events for us to look forward to, so we will have to make our own entertainment instead!
I feel sorry for the tourists — especially the Brits, who put up with cold and wet conditions for much of the year, with the UK summer hitting temperatures of a maybe a staggering 20 degrees which last all of a full week; oh, except for the brief, savage heatwaves they’ve had for the last couple of years, during which everything grinds to a halt because the roads, equipment — and even people — can’t cope!

One option is to jump on the bus to Malaga; it really is very easy to do from Torre del Mar bus station and can be as cheap as 5€ return. The city is beautiful and is more than 2,800 years old. You can easily spend a whole day there and still return for more. Whether you decide to shop, sightsee — such as the Cathedral, Picasso museum, the Roman Theatre, galleries etc — or just meander the streets in the old town, you would have spent a great day in Malaga City.
