Hi Martylar

There is a Leroy Merlin nearer than La Cañada it is in Los Barrios 

Head  towards Algeciras and it's on your left it's a retail park

there is a Leroy Merlin and a big store called Bricor 

they both have a good selection of shower screens and lots of other household stuff

I can i agree  with  what you are saying and the easyjet pilots seem to be the ones that dont attempt to land in fog or winds whilst other airlines do , but i have to say we have had approx 5 lots of visitors this year  totalling 10 flights both inbound and outbound and we have gone back to Liverpool  at least 4 times so 8 more trips in and out  and of  all these flights  3 have been diverted to Malaga and whilst its a pain i would say 85 to 90 %  everything goes smoothly . it is the luck of the draw and as you have said doesnt always run smoothly via Malaga  but i still would choose Gib over Malaga because as you say its a pain travelling from Malaga so 8 out of 10 times you wouldn't have to and the other couple of times its  just sods law hey !!!  you cant live life expecting the worst to happen chin up . The worst part of being diverted is  when going back to Liverpool  because you are in their hands waiting for transport to Malaga and then a slot to depart but coming in to Gibraltar  if they cant land at Gib you end up in Malaga not   the and of the world hey  .I can honestly say i would always book Gib and if diverted to Malaga would just consider myself unlucky i think because its a rock and not a great place to land you will always be subject  to weather conditions .

Hi Jonniereb

If you prefer Liverpool and are travelling to Estepona you are better flying into Gibraltar. For one thing its always cheaper than Liverpool to Malaga and only 25 mins to Estepona by Taxi . There is also a bus  from La Linea Bus Station to estepona but you may have to wait around depending on landing times.It takes 1 hour and only costs 3 to 4 euro . The only thing they are always early flights same as Malaga but that might change in the next year when the new airport terminal becomes fully operational at the moment you fly out of old terminal and into the new terminal. Hope this helps we live in Duquesa Estepona and never use Malaga now if we can help it.

Why are some people so negative you sound like that bloke off   "ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE" the tv programme

We live in Duquesa where we have the luxury of a beautifull Marina which could be classed as English  because everyone speaks English there but more European i would say with the many different restaurants offering Quisine from all counries and lots of bars for you to play your music in.

Then either side of Duquesa Marina you have Spanish Villages such as Sabinillas and Castillo. just what you are looking for Typically Spanish and a lovely place to live. come and rent as advised and see for yourself. The crime rate is really low virtually non existant but i am sure another Victor Meldrew out there will have something to say.Not a lot of work about but thats true Globally at the moment. Shopping around  we find our food shopping is cheaper here and eating out doesnt have to be expensive with Tapas and Menu Del Dia .

Then you have Sotogrande and Torrequadiaro nearby both lovely too  with the mix of Spanish and English. For the times when you have withdrawal symptoms for the UK you can nip to Gibraltar in 25 mins for a quick visit making you glad to get back to Spain again.

Dont listen to moaners give it a try and see for yourself . what have you got to lose !!! you only get one shot !!! Good Luck
