The Costa del Sol Tourist Board will organise the Fourth Costa del Sol Masters Madrid

This year the Costa del Sol Tourist Board will organise the fourth Costa del Sol Masters Madrid tournament. As in previous years, it will take place between March and October on six courses in the Community of Madrid and the finals will be on the Costa del Sol. Last year the Costa del Sol Tourist Board organised the Third Costa del Sol Masters Madrid with the help of six Madrid golf clubs: La Moraleja, RACE, El Olivar de la Hinojosa, Villa de Madrid, Real Sociedad Hípica Española and Las Lomas El Bosque. A total of 2,500 players took part and a hundred pairs qualified for the grand finals and travelled to the Costa del Sol to enjoy a weekend of golf. A tournament was held in parallel with this between professionals from assorted provincial and nationwide information media outlets.

As in the last tournament, each competition will have two winning pairs, one from the first and one from the second category. The former includes those pairs whose exact total handicap is no greater than 30.4, while the remaining participants will be included in the second category. There is a minimum age limit of 24 years to take part in either category.

The goal of this unusual tournament is to publicise to the Madrid market the Costa del Sol’s enormous potential for this sport, which is even greater with the inauguration of the AVE train between the Spanish capital and Málaga.

It should be kept in mind that as of January 2008 Madrid had a total of 89,077 golf club members, six thousand more than the year before. This figure represents 28% of all existing memberships in Spain. The Spanish capital has four 36-hole courses, fifteen 18-hole courses, twelve with nine holes and six par-three courses. The Costa del Sol, on the other hand, has a total of 73 golf courses, of which 55 are conventional and eighteen are par-three. They break down as follows: four 27-hole courses, 47 18-hole courses and four with nine holes, in addition to the aforementioned par-three courses.

The Costa del Sol Masters-Madrid benefits from the cooperation of AVE, Turismo Andaluz, the Andalusian Golf Federation and Valle Romano, in addition to numerous entities and firms that are members of the Costa del Sol Tourist Board.

Spain no longer foreing enough?

It is enough to shop around any waterfront in the Costa del Sol to see it, but now it appears also in the Times: Spain is no longer foreing enough for the British taste.
The funny thing is that what tourist critic, has come from themselves.
Walking in Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Puerto Banus and Torremolinos, is immersed in a maze of pubs, fish & chips, Bakeries and others that populate the streets of this part of the Spanish coast (and I know that it is not the only) to supply the preference of most of the tourists who come to these shores.
A lot of these shops are run by foreign residents. Those Brits, Germans, Dutchmen, Swedes, Italians, Norwegians, Belgians, Russians, etc. Who decided to change the fog, snow or rain by the Andalusian Mediterranean sun (in this case).
And they and their customers who fill the terraces of its bars and British restaurants, look very happy here, celebrating the happy hour or some sport event. No wonder, groups meet (beer in hand) in a pub celebrating a victory for their cricket or rugby team.
It's true. But it is true also that the enormous diversity of services for both residents and visitors don´t hide the authentic Spanish flavor. It is easily found. In a healthy coexistence, we can choose between Cumberland sausages or Jabugo ham.
In the article mentioned in the Times (British tourists avoid Spain because it's 'no longer foreign enough') say that 59% of respondents (1,327 people ) in an interview are in agreement with the article.
However, 32% also recognized as the familiar service makes them feel much more comfortable.
In the reduction of British visitors' entrance to this Spanish area, I think that its about the fall in purchasing power of the pound against the euro. Spain has become more expensive for them, but still have everything they want: sun, good weather, varied services, beach, golf, their own spaces, a short ride from home. And they have their bars to follow the Premier League.
And those looking for more "Spanish flavor", they have it easy. Alongside the pub is the tapas bar. And moving a few miles from the coast, it will be another Spain, but this will have to leave the boardwalk and bars.
Despite the opinion of some of those 1,327 people, Spain continues to occupy the first places among the most popular destinations for Britons.

The project
This golf course, which would be the first with which the capital account Jaén, would have a surface area of 50 hectares and a total number amounting to 490 dwellings, of which half are apartments.
