Here We Go: A Summer on the Costa del Sol

An intrepid, arduous adventure to the last place on Earth unvisited by travel writers - the Costa del Sol. This fearless exposé of one of the world's most popular holiday destinations depicts life among the package tourists of Fuengirola, the ravers of Torremolinos, the medallion men of Marbella and the time-sharers and villa-owners of Calahonda. Among the rigours faced by the author in his relentless pursuit of truth and San Miguel have been tackling a full Sunday roast with three veg in a hundred-degree heat, coping with the effects of amphetamine sulphate and trying in vain to achieve a tan on his underarms. This book does for travel writing what portable phones have done for the monarchy. A must for anyone who has ever got plastered on sangria, suffered a peeling nose or disembarked at Gatwick wearing a sombrero.
