Advantages: Two perfect leads terrific sound and a beautiful orchestra Disadvantages: none
This recording relights a passion for Puccini, and Italian opera in general, that I have not felt since I was much younger and heard the Callas/de Sabata Tosca for the first time. Like that recording, this recording is the definitive benchmark recording for this opera. Tebaldi and Del Monaco are in their element - one of the great 20th Century couples in full flight; Tebaldi's tone is rounder and more brilliant than any other Minnie while creating a superbly rounded character and Del Monaco is remarkably convincing. This is Del Monaco's finest studio recording even better than his Otello, his voice sounds less nasal than many of his recordings in the 1960s whilst not so heavy and unsmiling as some of his earlier records which altough showing off a remarkable voice have only two apparent dynamics - loud and louder.
The sound here is very ...
Advantages: Everything fresh and cooked to perfection Disadvantages: Not enough nights on holiday to eat there

Robert found it on one of his saunters whilst I was sat by the pool reading. All he saw was the board on the end of the side street and thought I will go and look. He did and liked what he saw so 11 of went and had dinner there 3 nights out of the 7 that we where staying in Cabanas.
All the staff spoke wonderful English and put our attempts at Portuguese to shame.
The food was excellent and we went back again and again.
The cover is wonderful brown and white bread and butter, tuna pate, sardine pate, olives and between the 11 they placed 4 plates of each.
Our order was as follows:
5 Beef stroganoff ...
Advantages: Friendly town with lots to do, a lovely holiday. Disadvantages: If you steer clear of the 'English Bars' there are none
COSTA DEL SOL
Benalmadea Costa,
I'm afraid I was always a bit of a 'travel snob' regarding the Costa del Sol. I envisaged the types of scene in TV's Benadorm, a type of Blackpool with sun.
As members of a vacation club ( it was then Sunterra now Diamon Resorts) we had the opportunity for a weeks break for relatively few points at the Sahara Sunset in Benalmadea Costa, as we could get Easy Jet airfairs to Malaga for a very low price we decided to try it.
We have been three times more since then - so needless to say I was not disappointed.
Benalmadena is only 15 kilometers from Malaga Airport, car hire is easily obtainable but it is only 25 euros for a taxi from the airport and there are plenty of excursions and good public transport available in the resort. It is set on the Costa del Sol between ...
