I´ve been renting a property on the Costa del Sol for the last 6 months, having sold my lovely apartment in Rio Real in the 2nd half of 2008.

Winter finally arrived on the Costa del Sol last week.
After a period of mild weather, temperatures plummeted and snow fell on some of the higher ground. If you drive from Puerto Banus to Malaga, you will see a dusting of snow on the Serrania de Ronda and La Cruz Juanar. The emblematic peak of La Concha that protects the properties in Marbella from the harsh northerly winds has not yet surrendered to the snowfall, but perhaps it won´t be spared for much longer.
