My wife has just renewed her British Passport through the British Embassy in Madrid and I thought that it might be useful if I share the process.
Forms are available on line at http://www.ukinspain.com/english/ with lots of useful assistance and information and as of this week they are issuing the new biometric passports - another new innovation means that you can pay by credit card.
You can call in person at the Embassy, C/ Fernando el Santo, 16, 28010, Madrid if you are close by or post your application, our was processed within 3 weeks. What we originally feared to be yet another bureaucratic nightmare was simplicity itself
Monday, May 08, 2006 - A scenic drive through the southern Axarquia
A really beautiful drive that takes in phenominal sea and mountain views, white villages, in real historic andalucia. We did both loops of this drive in one day and with several stops including a two hour lunch at the nispero festival leaving at 10:30 am and we were back at 19:00 with 182 km on the clock.
I have published the full report with directions and pictures here

I have just returned from Malaga airport where I had heard that there is some work going on relating to the new terminal, what an understatement! There are men in yellow coats with whistles doing their utmost to tie the traffic into even tighter knots that it is already. Here are a few snaps to give you some idea, so if you are using the airport this summer the best advice is USE THE TRAIN, because even you you allow extra time there is nowhere to park - I suppose that it will be nice when its finished |
