To Bring

We thought a few reminders of various items to pop in your suitcase wouldn't come amiss ....

• Towels for the beach/swimming pool (We provide towels in your rooms, but ask that you use your own outside) Bed linen is provided.

• Something warm/windproof to put on in the evening - It can get chilly - really!

• Sunglasses with UV protection - essential in the mountains.

• Sun tan lotions/creams/block to start you off - (on the whole you will find these cheaper in Spain) the mountain air will soon toast you more than expected!

• Whilst on the subject of protection, don't forget a sunhat too

• Mini First Aid Kit - medical items are amazingly cheap in Spain (well worth stocking up here), but your usual headache tablets, insect bite relief etc are comforting to have close by - particularly for children.  Also, don't forget any regular pills you have to take. It is not necessary to suffer itchy insect bites - there are inexpensive tablets - non-drowsy - available in Spain ... please ask for details if you are a magnet for insects!

• Form E111 should a trip to the doctor's be necessary. Please note a new version is now required - credit card size!

• Binoculars if you have them.

• Camera - of course!

• Slippers a boon in the cooler months!

If shopping on the way to Cencerrita from the airport, a list may prove invaluable ... brains aren't always working too well after flying! (there are normally a few herbs, salt and pepper, washing up liquid etc).  

• Don't forget nice large, strong industrial size bin liners (we have no rubbish collection up here and you will need to take your rubbish down to the big public bins when you go out)

• Drinking water. Our water is from our own bore hole 150 m down ... so it may come up nice and clean, but then it sits in the storage tanks.  Fine for cooking etc, but for actually drinking, we suggest bottled water.  We generally start you off with an 8 litre bottle filled from the town supply.

• Also plenty of fluids to drink - particularly in the hotter months (and we don't mean wine!!)

• There is a coffee machine here if you prefer filtered coffee (Filter papers, size 2)

• Tea drinkers are advised to bring their own T Bags ... Spanish tea is variable!!! However, in recent months they have started selling PG tips in the 40 bag size.

• Smokers! Please be aware that the supermarkets in Spain don't sell tobacco products: instead they are sold in licensed government shops. If you haven't already bought some on the plane, there is a "Tabaco" shop on the top floor of the parking at Malaga airport. If all else fail, there are generally cigarette machines in the bars.
