The Costa Press Club held its start-of-summer party at El Faro Playa (Charcón Beach), starting with drinks on the beach and featuring an ‘Open Mic’ session during dinner for attendees to talk briefly about their pet concerns.

Members and their guests learned about the work of the ACE charity (Animal Care España) and of the Swedish magazine HEJ! Spanien, and were updated on Nicole King’s project to bring to Spain lenses which she says can improve the lives of people with certain visual problems.

Jennie Rhodes spoke passionately about the delights in store for members getting to know the Axarquía region and its wine and raisins during an ‘extracurricular’ media event she has organised for September.

Other highlights of the party included the arrival of a spectacular seafood paella, and a ‘best summer look’ competition won by Gary Edwards, whose pink-themed outfit was accessorised with an inflatable pink flamingo and a copy of the (pink, of course) Financial Times.
