Why complain when you can wine !

Finding quality beverages can be a challenge at times in Spain. Many of the supermarkets in Spain heavily focus on Spanish wines............. and why not, they are fantastic.

For those of you attempting to try something different or just add some variety to your cellar / wine rack why not visit the Marks and Spencer food section.

I took the time to sift through the small selection of wines they provide but found myself having to sample some of them as well. As with many of the wine ranges here the price varied from low to high, however even though a small cross section of the huge variety of wines out there, hats off to the person responsible for this selection.

Whether it be a celebration, party, dinner or gift the selection of international wines provided is well worth the visit. Personally I chose the French Riesling which was fantastic as I have been searching for one in Spain for a while now.

However whatever your taste please wonder through and take a look at their selection and with Christmas fast approaching if you are spending it here in Spain why not get some special bottles for that special day.

Apple iPhone 5 La Cañada

La Cañada is once again swamped by clients eagerly waiting to purchase the new iPhone 5. Extra staff have been placed in the main concourse to shepherd the queue of (today) approximately 100 people.

The Apple iPhone 5 has had mixed reviews, especially some of it´s software however this seems not to deter people from owning one. If you are one of the many avid Apple followers and feel like waiting in a queue for anywhere between 1 - 3 hours then make your way up to La Cañada.

Without the need to state the obvious demand for the phone will probably increase at weekends so if it is your aim to purchase one then I suggest arriving early.

Good luck and happy shopping.

Habitat La Cañada

Amidst the opening of the Apple store it´s previous occpuant may have been forgotten however for those of you still looking for it´s unique range Habitat is located close to the entrance of the old section of La Cañada. The store is on the left as you enter the centre where Casa used to be located.

For those of you who fell in love with Casa and it´s reasonably priced range of household products, this has now moved to Estepona next to Carrefour.

Sundays at La Cañada

The time of year has come again when shop employees wish it was a different time of year, as they lose their Sundays. Great news for us and not so much for them!

Yes folks La Cañada is now open on Sundays and shoppers can now enjoy yet another day of shopping at the weekends, somewhat taking the pressure off your Saturdays.

Today, in it´s first Sunday of the month, La Cañada was peaceful for until about 12pm so if you are planning a visit, maybe visit early to avoid the queues. This secret may get out though and the crowds may catch on in he coming weeks, so be prepared.

One drawback to the crowds flocking to the centre is traffic so be prepared to wait patiently when exiting the shopping centre.
