How long does it take for the legislature to adopt a tax revision plan? As we saw last week, it does not take long at all.
It's difficult to be an honest person in today's General Assembly.
There were obviously some very irritated legislators at the Gold Dome last week.
The Georgia House of Representatives recently debated a bill that would make it illegal for registered sex offenders to obtain a commercial driver's license.
The majority of Georgia's legislators are a conservative group of politicians, as you would expect in a conservative state such as ours.
Once in a while, you'll see an inspiring and visionary idea emerge from under the Golden Dome of our state Capitol.
Tommy Smith has been part of the Georgia legislature for a long time.
In other states, voters are trying to decide whether Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul will be the Republican nominee who runs against President Barack Obama in this fall's election.
Back in March 2005, I sat in the press gallery of the Georgia Senate reporting on the debate over a bill to give tax breaks to major corporations that amounted to nearly $1 billion over a 10-year period.
In a normal year, the first week of the General Assembly session is a time when very little is happening.
Georgia's legislators will do plenty of talking about the major issues that confront them during the General Assembly session that kicked off this week.
It's a tradition for political columnists to close out the year by picking their list of winners and losers for the 12-month period that just ended.
He had to fight his way through a massive winter storm just to be sworn into office and he was immediately confronted with an economy that just refused to get better. Somehow, Nathan Deal survived and made it through his first year as Georgia's governor.
For all the emphasis that our political leaders put on bringing business giants like Kia and Porsche to Georgia, it's easy to lose sight of this fact: The state's largest industry is still agriculture.
This time a year ago, Georgia's political leadership was on fire to push through a sweeping revision of the state's creaky tax code.
Page 17 of 29
Friends and relatives who know I work at the state Capitol often ask these questions: How can you stand it there? Don't you just ...
Now that the final election totals are in, let's look at a couple of Georgia's voting trends.

Opinie o innych obiektach tego gospodarza
An excellent apartment close to the Cathedral & the bullring , calle Adriano with a large selection of restaurants & bars was mere steps away from the front door.
The apartment was air conditioned , the TV had a facility to change the Spanish version of many programmes back to the original English language version , hot water was constantly available & the washing machine was a Godsend.
Hugely impressed and would return.
Fine appartment a bit noicy but that's a feature of the Spanish temper.
We had big expectations on this apartment, due to the very high price. We are very disappointed! Improvements have to be done to make this study serious, otherwise stop rent out.
Negative things:
- The study did not have any air-conditioning this must be mentioned in the description of the appartment!!!! Imagine, in July with 30 degrees and three Tapas bars just under our balcony, made it impossible to sleep, because we had to have the balcony door open (noisy until 3 a.m.). With closed door you could not sleep due to the heat.
- The study was quite dirty and non-fresh. Marks on wall paper etc. and we had to clean the bathroom ourselves before using it.
- The stove was in a bad condition. Only two out of four stove plates functioned.
- The sheet was too small for the mattress, so where ending up laying on the mattress itself
- The balcony was very small
- The pots and pans were worn out with broken layer. Must be upgraded (the rest of the kitchen and tools were Ok)
Positive things:
- The study is very close to the beach
- The view from the balcony was very nice
- The study has a washing machine
- If it is too windy on the beach there is a swimming pool included
Terrific location, 5 minute walk from Cathedral. Apartment as described in the website. Carmen and Jesus were great, always available and helpful. Highly recommended.
Nicely located appartment with beautifull terace on the roof. Kitchen is minimum but enough to make your coffee in the morning.
The appartment is located in a great area of beautiful Sevilla, you can walk easily to nearby Pubs, Restaurants, Shopping places!
The appartment has got evrything u need, a huge comfy bed with room for 3persons!! the room is small,but nice!
Great terace upstairs!
We enjoyed our stay really much, thanks a lot, we will come back for sure!!
Very nice appartment, very functional and furnished with everything one might need. Moreover it's perfectly located Close to Train Station and City Center. For a longer stay it might be a bit dark, as it has only Windows to a courtyard,
The apartment was just great. Clean and easily walkable to all interesting areas of Seville. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was that the noise from the street filters into the apartment, the windows could do with thicker glass. Carmen was always ready to answer any questions we had, and everything worked out just fine. I would recommend.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Luxurious and spacious appartment at a great location in Sevilla! We stayed with 8 persons one week, and it proved to be enough room for all of us. When on vacation location is important, and with the Parque Marie Louisa just across the street, location was well cared for. And it took only 10 to 15 minutes to walk through the park to the city center.
We were also very happy with the service, both in renting the appartment and in service on the spot. It was easy to arrange for us to be picked up from the airport (and brought back) for a very reasonable fee.
Advise: make a plan on who will shower when, because the warm water capacity per run was limited.
All in all we can recommend both this appartment and our host Carmen!

Peter Armellino began cooking professionally in New York when he was 17 years old. He opened the Park Avenue Cafe in 1992, followed by stints at New York City's Gotham Bar & Grill and Gramercy Tavern.
In 1999, Armellino came to San Francisco, where his culinary skills soon landed him a position as Sous-Chef of Jardiniere, where he worked with Douglas Keane.
After his tenure at Jardiniere, Armellino was lured to rural Woodside and became the Chef de Cuisine at Village Pub. At the pub, Peter assisted rising star Chef Mark Sullivan, where he further refined his craft, and adopted a feeling of connection between food and farmer. In 2001 he joined longtime acquaintance and fellow New Yorker (via France) Laurent Manrique as Chef de Cuisine at Campton Place in San Francisco. Armellino continued this partnership when he moved to Aqua's kitchen as Chef de Cuisine in 2003.
In 2005, Jardiniere Executive Chef Traci des Jardins chose Armellino from a pool of hundreds of former and current associates to be one of her two co-chefs as she faced Iron Chef Mario Batali in "Battle Shrimp" on the hit Food Network show "Iron Chef", a battle des Jardins won.
Armellino has dedicated his time to charity work as well, working over the past several years to benefit such organizations as Share Our Strength, Meals on Wheels, Tibetan Aid Relief and Tsunami Aid Relief.
"Coming to the South Bay, which is wide-open territory, is an amazing opportunity for my team and me to blaze a fresh trail, comments Armellino, "Our aim is to redefine fine dining in Silicon Valley."
Under Armellino's leadership, Plumed Horse presents elegant, modern California Cuisine, emphasizing what is fresh, seasonal and sustainably produced.
The Plumed Horse has been awarded the Michelin Star continuously from 2009 to 2016
Plumed Horse Receives Wine Spectator's 2016 Grand Award!
Plumed Horse will be closed Monday October 31st for Halloween.
An Evening with Kosta Browne's Dan Kosta
Dan Kosta and Michael Browne made their first barrel of wine in 1997. Since that vintage, they have nurtured relationships with the best growers and honed their winemaking skills, making sure to focus on the vision and values with which they began.
Kosta Browne sources grapes from Russian River, Sonoma Coast, and Santa Lucia Highlands. Their single vineyard wines are blended to express the specific qualities and consistencies of their pedigreed vineyards. Pinot Noir is the perfect palate to define the terroir of these plantings.

CG's Mudhoney PRO
Another beautiful build from our friends at Cascade Bicycle Studio, this is CG's Mudhoney PRO.
Zac at CBS says:
CG wanted a disc platform that could be raced during the cross season, and used for gravel events in the spring. He went all in with a power meter, Enve M50 wheels, and Campagnolo Super Record.

Lovely Bicycle Laps the Lough
Lap the Lough is an annual cycle event around Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland and Britain. Our friend and erstwhile correspondent Lovely Bicycle recently took on this ride on her Seven 622 SLX, and the report is worth reading.
She writes:
While most of the Lap the Lough route really was comparatively "flat," by local standards, the final 5 miles featured a sustained, at times quite steep, climb into Dungannon, culminating in a cobblestone(!) section straight up the Hill of the O'Neill. While for those of us "lucky" enough to live in the northwest of Ireland, the climb was really nothing unusual (and really a rather fine way to end a 100 mile ride, if you ask me!) others were quite taken aback by this twist to the plot at the end. A few people got off their bikes and walked. Unprintable words were uttered.
For the rest of the story, click over to Lovely Bicycle.
Joe's Expat SL
Here is a do-everything touring machine we built for Joe with our friends at Spokes, Etc. in Alexandria, VA. This Expat SL incorporate S&S couplings, front and rear rack & fender mounts, a kickstand, Rohloff belt drive, generator hub, extra water bottle mount and a pump peg. We like this build because it really demonstrates the extent to which a rider can personalize a Seven to produce what is, for them, the ultimate bike for the purpose (or many purposes).

Who is John Young?
It's a devil's bargain, really. When you look at John Young, you notice his stature. He is a little person, born 50 years ago with dwarfism. This is, of course, only a very small part of who he is. A local teacher, and an avid triathlete, John came to the conclusion at some point that he would and could do bigger things with his life than anyone's first glance at him might have suggested were possible. To us, the main thrust of John's work and message is that he is an athlete first, a guy pushing his own boundaries before he thinks about inspiring other people to push theirs.
But that's what he does. He has a lot of fans, both within the LP community and outside of it. This is the devil's bargain part, wanting to move past people's preconceived notions of himself to become just another athlete, and also recognize, that in doing so, he can be an inspiration for other little people.
How do you shake off one narrow definition of yourself and also allow that definition to stand, as an example for others?
The answer we get from observing John is that you just go about the work. You train. You prepare. You race. You take care of your end of the bargain, and then let other people draw what they will from it. Just doing it, if you'll excuse the borrowed phrase, is how to answer those who would judge you AND to inspire those who have endured those same judgements.
He finished his first Ironman on October 1st of this year.
We were proud to build John a bike, but he was going to achieve what he has achieved whether we were involved or not. He did not need a custom bike. A custom bike just made him faster and more comfortable than he was going to be.
He is, after all, an athlete.

|This is a discussion on Playing out of position within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; I always hear people saying how good later position is, how much you can loosen your starting hands up, etc. However, it seems to me
Playing out of position
I always hear people saying how good later position is, how much you can loosen your starting hands up, etc. However, it seems to me that every once in a while playing from early positon can be a benifit. Not in small or micro levels, where alot of people don't know very much about poker, but in the higher levels alot of people give alot more respect to an early raises, or re-raise. It just seems like you can have alot more bluffing power and can keep people guessing on what you actually have. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
You don't need to wait until you are playing at the higher levels, you can make this work in any game where folks are paying attention. Varying how you play is always a good idea, and bluffing now & then can pay off whether you win that particular hand or not.
Any "advantage" you think you may have it does not make up for the fact you are playing OOP all hand. You are in many more tough spots, have very little chance at controling the pot, and will have a much harder time getting your big hands paid.
You also do not know anything about anyone's cards, so betting light UTG to try to seem like you have the nuts wont matter if someone else does.
Thats not to say to only play premiums, you will have to mix up your ranges as you get above the micros, but people folding those hands to you is a bonus, not the intention of the play.
re: Poker & Playing out of position
well i agree with you in some way. raising in early postion will make more respect from your opponents because they know that you have a good combination. but the bad thing is that if more than 3 people enter in the pot or if someone just re raise your bet then you will be with a very tought decision of how to play your hand. however i think that playing in late position has more adventajes than early position
your points are actually valid. ive heard the phrase that "under the gun is the new button" which basically means at higher stakes, especially tournies, as players have adapted to button, cut off steals, they have to find new ways to take blinds and raising utg light can be more profitable than raising in later position where your likely to get 3-bet
i dont tend to bluff 2 often but i found my bluff raises utg seem to work better then my bluffs when im last to act i think its because people tend to not think so much about utg bluffs but if your last to act bluffs r more of a possibility

Price paid: $ 73.2
Purchased from: Gear 4 Music
Features: No idea when amp was made. The amp is about as versatile as a book voucher I play rock/punk/blues/metal and it can cope with about half of one of those genres. It has a headphone jack labeled: SHUT-UP, it also has two channels clean | overdrive which can be selected by pressing a red button labeled ZAP?!?! I wish it had knobs which gave productive and usable sounds, because at the moment you have 3 knobs: BEEF, TWEAK and ENJOY. Now deciphering these knobs is quite a task. When using overdrive, TWEAK is tone, ENJOY?!? is volume and BEEF is gain. However when using clean, TWEAK is tone, ENJOY is volume and BEEF is.........well, it doesn't do anything and because of this the TWEAK knob is useless as it gives different tones from dull to very dull. It is a 0 Watt amp with enough power for practicing alone. // 5
Sound: I have purchased many guitars since I bought this amp and they have pickups ranging from humbuckers to single coils to dual coils, but the tone and quality of sound goes from bad to worse whatever I use whilst playing with this amp. The amp works best when being used with humbuckers and to be honest it does have a very unique overdriven/distorted sound which can be looked upon as a bonus. On clean it performs to the best, if you are looking for a dull and rather boring sound which if turned up to the max produces a sufficient amount of feedback but on overdrive there is a constant humming whatever guitar you are using and there are other things which cause extra feedback such as lights and use of other electrical equipment within a 3 metre radius. The unique sound I was talking about is a fuzzy/gravelly concoction of distortion, which I rather enjoy when bashing out metal riffs and such. // 6
Reliability & Durability: One thing I can say which others have also said, is the extreme durability of this amp, it truly will take anything and continue to produce the feedback and the gravelly distortion which I enjoy. I have thrown it from a second story window and it still works, which I have to say is very impressive. I not in my wildest dreams think about using this amp at a gig, it would be embarrassing to say the least. I would however bring it to the gig to set fire to it after the set. // 8
Overall Impression: If I was a forming a unique metal band whose sound could be compared to radio interference I would indeed use this amp to record all of our tracks on. But however since the majority of people Who play the guitar want to actually hear the notes they are playing I would not recommend this amp. I have been playing for 3 years and have purchased other amp so this amp is rarely used. If it were stolen I would mock the thief for not having stolen my pencil case cause it would have been more use to HIM. I do however, as I have said before love the unique sound it produces in distortion mode and the various labels for the knobs which gives endless amounts of amusement to my friends. I hate everything else about this amp. I don't think it is actually possible to compare this amp to anything else on the market. Being my first amplifier I guess it deserves a bit of nostalgic love but apart from that it is going to be used as a foot rest from now on. // 6
Price paid: £ 20
Purchased from: amazon.co.uk
Features: Very basic includes 'zap', 'enter', 'beef', 'tweak', 'enjoy', 'shut up', and 'juice.' for all of us that don't speak BB Blaster language its got a clean channel a simple overdrive gain tone and volume aswell as headphones which I found usefull. Pretty good for a cheap practise amp which came with an Encore guitar. // 5
Sound: The sound is the same no matter what guitar I use I've used Les Pauls on it Encore Fender and my current Ibanez it all sounds the same with the overdrive channel. The clean channel is okay and can have a slight distortion occasionally. If I could change the sound in anyway I would make the overdrive better. If you turn up the volume the sound becomes horrible. If I use it I'm careful not to ruin the sweet sound from my guitar. // 2
Reliability & Durability: This amp is indestructable I can do anything to it and it still sounds how I got it, sadly, overall though this amp is amazing for this its never broke never changed and is always the same too bad the sound isn't good enough. NEVER GO GIGGING WITH IT THOUGH. // 10
Overall Impression: I play mostly heavy metal music and for that it does a good job and with the tone you can get an old school black sabbath sound. On the clean channel I can do almost anything but not to a good sound quality. If I lost it or it was stolen I wouldn't bother buying a new one because I know it would be returned as its bad like that. If I use it I only use it for a very unique sound. I can't find another sound like the one that comes out of this. The guitar it came with wasn't all to great noe I've changed it to become better as the fretboard wore away very very fast. But overall its a good starter amp if you are intressed in metal or old school rock/punk. Otherwise its the worlds greatest footstall. // 5
Price paid: $ 63
Purchased from: Got With Kit
Features: Ahh the BB Blaster, my first ever amp, it came with one of those cheapy Encore quitar outfits which lasted a year. I sold the guitar but inside my coubard is the amp. The last time I used this amp was when I compared it to my newest and main amp (Kustom KGA16R) and I must say, it's quite bad. For features you get bare minimal, a distortion button (the dist is quite bad but okay for a small amp) and a main voloume and 3 controls. But then you must remember, this is a beginer amp. So for an beginner amp it's around a 7, for a normal amp 4, I'd go for a 5 then considering both these factors. // 5
Sound: The guitar I used with this was the Encore I got with it, the Encore was quite bad so the sound will be judged on that. The distorion is more grainy than rocking and you can't hear half the notes. But considering alot of begginer amps don't have distortion, this was to be a plus. the sound clean is mediochre, but the best soud takes ages of tweaking with your quitar and amp. I'll give it a 5. // 5
Reliability & Durability: This amp although preety naff, won't die, it's been not used for years, been droppped, bumped and played to death, but sounds the same and hasnan't got any chips, I'm quite surprised so I'll give it a 7. // 7
Overall Impression: Altogether the amp for a person like me, (4 almost 5 years of guitar playing) is no use, but for a begginer who ets it qwith a setup as these are common with begginer set ups, it does the job, I'll give it, a six. // 6
Price paid: $ 18.3
Purchased from: Ebay
Features: Has a headphone jack, overdrive setting, tone, distortion and volume controls. This was my first amp and for 10 I'd say was worth the money. It's only 10 Watt so it's good for practicing at home and helps you become a better guitarist because if you suck you can really tell! // 5
Sound: First used with an Encore KC3 which is a bad guitar so all I could play with this is things like Blink 182 and Green Day. Now used with a Vintage VS6 and a Boss MT-2 it actually sounds quite good but thats probably got nothing to do with the amp and more to do with the pedal. It is incredibly noisy at all times, the clean is distorted, the distortion is ridiculous. You have to play everything perfectly for it to sound any good at all which in a way helps you become a better guitarist so its good for beginners. // 5
Reliability & Durability: This thing has been kicked around, dropped, played at insanely high levels and with way too much distortion for its own good and it still sounds the same and doesn't have a single dent in. It would survive a nuclear war. // 10
Overall Impression: I play any kind of rock or metal, from We Are Scientists to Trivium, and this amp can barely manage it. I'm getting a Cube 60 which should be better. I love how cheap it was but I don't think I would get another one because it sounds pretty bad. I didn't compare it to anything else but just got it because its so cheap. Gets a 6 due to the fact it will never break and it was my first amp. // 6
Features: I think the amp was made in 2005. The style of music I play is metal, rock and punk.this amp struggles to do anything. It has 1 channel and volume, tone and distortion nobs. It also has a headphone jack and a small red button that when pressed in it increases the volume and sound of the amp. I'm a bedroom player so that's were I mostly play on it. I've been playing for about 4 months on an Epiphone G-310 and got this about 7 weeks after I got my guitar. Even though I haven't been playing very long I am very dissapointed in the amp however for 40 quid you can't complain. // 3
Sound: I use an Epiphone G310 with 2 humbuckers. It doesn't suite my music style at all. You could toggle with the few switches it has all day but wouldn't get a difference in sound from this amp. It always has a constant annoying buzzing sound whatever volume is. Clean tone is the same at any volume it just buzzes and makes spitting sounds and you can't realy tell what sound distortion is becawse it's just a noise. // 2
Reliability & Durability: I would never take this to a gig to practice on or play on. When the volume is turned 3/4 of the way up it whistles and makes a spitting sound. I haven't dropped or hit it yet but it looks and feels sturdy. I don't think that it would break if you threw it down a flight of stairs. // 3
Overall Impression: This amp only realy makes one sound and that's bad. It doesnt't suit anything. I wish I would have tested it out first other wise I would have bought a Marshall MG15DFX. If it were lost or stolen I would thank whoever stole it, it's awful. I could only reccomend this amp to a small child who was starting to play to anyone else it's useless. // 3
Purchased from: A guy
Features: I have no idea when this amp was made. With this bit of kit you'll be able to make the squikiest noises known to man. The sound is terrible. Now it does have two channels in a sense. The red button on the left-hand side of the amp turns the overdrive on/off. It has three knobs for Gain, Tone, and Volume, pretty simple yeah! It also has aline outfor headphones etc. // 3
Sound: Now there's the deal, you just cannot get a decent sound out of this amp well not with distortion anyway. The clean channel is a basic clean witch isn't bad but in the background there's a hissing sound. Then we've got the distortion channel, noisy, squiky, rubbish! For a beginner he would not think of this any different but I mean come on, once you've had the rest you don't need the worst do you? // 2
Reliability & Durability: This amp for all its other bad features is quite strong. No I kid you not, it seems quite well built, tightly screwed together but then that doesn't make it a good amp does it? I have kicked and thrown this thing about over the last couple of years and it still sounds the same as the day I got it. // 6
Overall Impression: Well for the beginner who hasn't got the penny's this guitar should be OK but after a few months, maybe start thinking to upgrade to a small Marshall or something like that. If it were lost in my kitchen I would not buy another one, in fact I might just put it on freecycle. // 4
Price paid: £ 95
Features: I bought this with a Encore KC3.
I play all sorts of different styles such as punk, metal, blues, pop, rock, Indie etc, and I think it's best suited for a really bad blues sound. It has 2 channels. A clean channel and a overdrive channel, which can be activated by pressing a little red button called ZAP. It also has a gain knob, a tone knob, and a volume knob (labelled BEEF, TWEAK & ENJOY - my guitar tutor is the only person I have met Who likes these names). It also has a Headphone jack labeled shut up, I've never used this. I don't gig so this is only used at home. // 4
Sound: I'm currently using a Epiphone Les Paul 100 with humbuckers. This amp has no music style although you can make a barely acceptable blues sound with it. It can be noisy but the clean sound distorts even when it's quiet and you can't hear the notes your playing when playing with the overdrive over half volume. Well I have tried pinch harmonics on it but it makes no noise. I can do them on my friends MG50 but not this amp. // 2
Reliability & Durability: Well I don't gig and even if I did I'd never gig with this. I wouldn't even practice Backstage or perform to any of my family with this amp.
Although that said, this is a very durable amp. One of my friends spilt beer on it, my dog went to the toilet on it, and it fell of my mums car, and it has never broken. So it's quite durable. // 10
Overall Impression: Well again I play all sorts of different styles and this is probably the worst amp ever. I've been playing for 2 years and own a Epiphone Les Paul 100 and also the Encore KC3 that came with the amp. I wish I'd asked for a better amp before I bought this amp. If it were stolen I would say good luck to Who ever stole it, in fact I would pay some one to steal it from me, so I would definatly get something better. Well I like it because well I supose it was my first amp... nah I lie I hate the dam thing! I compared it too a Yamaha Pacifica 112 and a Fender frontman. Wish I had bought them frontman. Well my guitar tutor currently has a knife to my throat as he wants me to give it a 6 because he likes the names of the tone and gain knobs. He dosen't like anything else about it just the labels. // 6
Features: No idea when this amp was made, but probably sometime during the stone age, judging by the sound it makes. It has four controls: volume, channel switch, gain and tone. But some gimp thought it would be a good idea to name them "Enjoy", "Zap", "Beef" and "Tweak", respectively. There's also a headphone output labelled "Shut Up", and the power Switch is labelled "Juice". Somebody at BB Blaster needs to be shot. // 3
Sound: I play with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Cleans are mediocre at best. You can tune your guitar all you like, but this monstrosity will instantly make it sound out of tune. Nothing special.
Distortion is where this thing really takes a nose dive into the abyss. Unless you have gain set to the maximum, there's barely any worth mentioning. It just buzzes pathetically. When the gain is on max, it sounds like somebody farting through a traffic cone. Muddy, incomprehensible noise. Actually, it's noisy no matter what settings you use.
This amp is suitable for nothing. It cannot do anything except enrage you. // 3
Reliability & Durability: This amp is at it's best when used as a footrest. I would never gig with it, not just because it's a 10 Watt midget. However, it's been dropped, kicked and stood on but it's never broken. This would be, I think, the only redeeming feature of this amp. So, reluctantly, I'll give it a high score in this field. // 10
Overall Impression: Overall impression: Rubbish. Worthless. Useless. Pathetic, et cetera. If it were stolen, I'd probably not even notice. Don't bother comparing this to anything else, because everything else on the planet will beat this hands down. Even the sound of somebody vomiting, amplified by the toilet bowl. I got this as part of a starter pack with a cheap and naff Stagg S300. I implore you: Stay away from this God awful atrocity of an amp. // 2

This is a fantastic place. The pictures on their website are not misleading - it is a very attractive old English style farmhouse set in gardens on a cattle and cork farm in a national park. There is a messiness about the place that makes it feel endearingly and comfortably genuine. Have no fear for authenticity: when you can see the Rock from the garden there is no contradiction in being in an English Andalucian homestead. The Spanish context is never in question with the big-horned cattle, pairs of storks who walk the lawns in the morning and nest all around, and the garden that overgrows with the warm weather (and reminded me more than a little of South Africa.)
The two apartments in the main house are very big and feel like a visit to an great aunt's house in the english countryside.
The English/Spanish family lives there and in the various houses around the farm. We found them very kind and helpful. (We also went with our four year old son who enjoyed playing with the many children.)
The place is very close to Algeciras and the main road is less than five minutes away. You don't notice this at all when at the farm, but it is a big advantage for mundane things like shopping for provisions, finding a good fish restaurant (ask for recommendations) and for access to the motorway if you're going zoom off to explore the area.
Monte de la Torre probably won't suit the kind of people who enjoy hygeinic minimalism, but that's why this is a niche. There aren't many places to stay like this.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Monte de la Torre is a private country property with exceptional views over the bay of Gibraltar in Andalucia, Southern Spain. Set in large mature gardens and surrounded by its own 400 hectares of natural cork oak forest. It is a peaceful haven where storks nest in the gardens, Retinto, the long-horned red cattle, graze the land - the area is famous for its wild spring flowers and the bird migrations to and from Africa. Bed and breakfast in three large twin bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms that offer lovely views over the grounds and across to the straits of Gibraltar. ... more less
