Agree, awsome.

I've been to El Chorro several times and looked up at the path from the road. That's enough to make your stomach churn. A beautiful area, and yes, easily day tripable from the coast. We can do it in about 1 hour from Riviera del Sol near La Cala de Mijas.

There's a little cafe near the railway station with great views down the ravine which is well worth a visit.

As for who built it, don't know but they probably weren't paid enough. I think it was built for king Alfonso the something or other when he opened the dam in early 1900's. Excuse my ignorance on this matter.

Thanks, Morerosado, that's good news.

Now I've got a good excuse to start planning a drive down through France and Spain. Not done it yet but always fancied it.

Hi

I'm new to EOS but have followed with interest the various articles and forums. We've got a property on the Costa Del Sol which we've owner for just over two years. We try and get over as often as we can but it never seems enough.

Anyway I've got a question regarding electrical appliances: I've got a washing machine and tumble dryer here in the UK which are virtually new but won't fit into our kitchen when we have it done up later in the year. Our washing machine in Spain is knackered and I was wondering if it's possible to use a washing machine/tumble dryer, built for the UK market, in Spain?

Any help much appreciated
