We´ve got a few answers on this one, but maybe you could help out with other possible venues.

In corte ingles and la canada I can only find cordless phones or very basic cable phones. I need that for my home office.” Click here to read more... * Massage courses in Marbella One of our readers asks, “I am interested in learning massage and, as I work full time, I wondered if anyone knew of any relevant evening courses in the Marbella area?

This is a beach town with plenty of families on holiday so the locals are used to serving children and often offer children´s menus and don´t mind the clean up after the storm. However, if you´re looking for a particularly child friendly place, take a look at what there is available here in Marbella.
