Hello, and welcome to our brand new blog. We’re thrilled to bits with its cool and funky design, and over the weeks, as we gradually populate it with all manner of useful, topical, informative and entertaining Costa del Sol stuff, we hope you’re going to become well and truly addicted! Take a look around…
OK, so it’s not the first time that VIVA has ventured into the realms of the Blogosphere, that was back in 2009. To be honest, we never did much like the look and feel of the ‘one size fits all’ blog template that we bought off the peg, and we were pretty much novices when it came to posting, too. But that was then!
This time round, we’re all fired up and just rarin’ to be let loose on our very own bespoke blog – created by our inspired and talented in-house designer Rolando Sánchez. Plus we’ve also boned up a fair bit on the art (or should I say science?) of blogging since our first feeble attempt.
So this is the shape of things to come, and from here on in our three ‘resident’ authors – Chris McCarthy, Martina Heynemann and Carolyn Mowlem – will be blogging off every week on just about anything and everything under the Costa del Sol sun. And if something strikes a chord with you, then we hope you’ll simply join in the conversation by posting your comments, because we’d love to have you along.

Very nice and informative blog.
I have a Spain question that maybe you guys could answer…. Is it illegal to wash your car on the roadside in Spain, as many of us did back home?

The new blog looks great, I’ve already face booked and tweeted it! I like the photography section, so we can upload our own photos of the Costa del Sol!
By the way, I don’t like McDonalds!!!!
