Winter Is On The Way

HYBRID DIGITAL EDITION
288 Contents

With the recent clock change and cooler temperatures, it feels like winter is attempting to establish a foothold. Here in southern Spain, however, we can expect lots of sunny days in November, unlike in most of the rest of Europe!
In this issue, we pay homage to Andalucía’s olive groves, currently being harvested, and we preview Open House Málaga, taking place this month from November 17 – 19.

We take you to Argentina, ‘Land of Fire’, with its passionate people, geographical extremes, football fanaticism, tango, great Malbec and the best steaks. Prepare to be impressed by the luxurious new Mercedez-Benz EQS SUV and see how Toyota are pioneering the hydrogen-powered engine. Check out the landmark Golden Mile residences coming to fruition at Earth and marvel at the artistry and style of Uecko’s skilled craftsmen.

Get ready for Napoleon, directed by Ridley Scott, with the phenomenal Joaquín Phoenix as the Emperor, coming out later this month. Finally, don’t miss out on iconic Italian dining at Isola, and sample some exceptional Monastrell wine from Jumilla.

Enjoy!
