Derek Carr's Holiday in Spain 2006

In September this year, my mom, my cousin Margaret and I went for a week to Grangefield Oasis Club, Riviera (almost next to the famous Miraflores golf course) on the Mijas Costa. It's about half way between Fuengirola and Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Here's my photos and my take on the holiday.

First the photos of the Club itself, and Riviera. It's a great place, really living in an exotic garden, with two swimming pools:
