Although my sun tan is fading rapidly, I’m still basking in the afterglow of a lovely week-long trip to the Costa del Sol, the part of Spain that I lived in for almost 5 years. This time I had organised a group trip for FOTO-CLUB, staying in a lovely 5-bedroomed villa on the Mijas Golf development near Fuengirola.

The week consisted of 6 photo-shoots (with 5 models) in a wide range of locations, a bit of swimming in the villa’s pool, a day out to “The Lakes” via Al Chorro, and a fair amount of wonderful food and perhaps the odd cerveza.

I’ll post “proper” images from the trip here in the next few posts but for now, here are a few phone photos to give you a taster:

The first couple of shots are from a very productive morning’s shoot on the beach and at nearby Sohail Castle…

A day at The Lakes

“The last meal” (before heading to the airport for the journey home)

“Tigre”, a regular visitor to the villa.

One of the many wonderful tapas restaurants that we were obliged to sample.

There’ll be many more images from this trip to come, and hopefully a bit less like my holiday snaps.

AND another trip has now been scheduled. Flying on 25th March from Birmingham airport. 2 places remaining…
