article_detail

This edition is not only full of inspiring home and living articles, but you'll find so much more.....

 

• We start with looking at Ibiza in May. This month the islands real magic reveals itself, offering calmness, a beautifully unhurried pace of life, the discovery of hidden coves and sunset views without crowds

 

• As Summer is almost upon us, dive in to page 8 where you’ll find 6 amazing cocktails to experiment with

 

• Page 10 and 11 suggests some great events taking place (as well as those you’ll find in the What’s On feature). The San Javier Air Show, Torrevieja’s May Fair, Harlem Globetrotters 100th Anniversary Tour and, believe it or not, Bay City Rollers return with a concert led by original Stuart “Woody” Wood and a fresh new line up. Dig out your tartan!

 

• Before the heat really intensifies, take the opportunity in May to discover some beautiful walks around Alicante and Murcia (ideas on page 14)

 

• Do what the Spanish do with their living room in Summer – strip back, cool down, let the air and light do the work that furniture and fabrics can’t. Re-arrange it for how you will actually live, making the room easy, cool and generous

 

• Talking of Spanish traditions – Spanish barbecues begin the night before and with warm evenings and the light lasting until around 9pm and market produce at its best, May is the time to dig out those coals and firelighters (or gas bottle). Check out our step by step guide as to how the Spaniards do it

 

• If you’re a beach lover, but hate the paraphernalia of all the planning of what to take (and end up taking it all, meaning it turns more in to an expedition), page 24 is a must read. It’s all about taking less, choosing well and staying longer!

 

• Check out our culinary delights on pages 32 and 33, both requiring minimal effort but offering maximum taste. Invite your friends round for an informal get together and impress them with these platters

 

• Don’t forget as we change seasons, so does your car and your driving. Check tyres, windscreen wipers, sun protection for the interior and your air conditioning. And please remember that those quiet mountain roads and beach roads that you’ve been used to for the last 4 months or so will be changing. Page 29 gives more insight to reminding you what to expect.

 

All this and lots more. Enjoy our May issue and we’ll be back in June, bringing you yet more inspiration for your home and your life.
