For many, a move to Spain comes with the intention of leading a more relaxed lifestyle, yet most soon realise that work needs to be done and bills need to be paid – the same stresses and strains as always, albeit in a different environment.   With this in mind, ask yourself: when was the last time you got a good night’s sleep? A large proportion of the population suffers from...

Sadly nowadays we are accustomed to seeing litter lying around, which will be dealt with by the local council. But sometimes more action is needed. Unfortunately, many people seem to think it’s easier to throw their debris wherever, without giving a second thought to how or where their waste will be disposed of in an environmentally sensitive way. A great idea is currently being...

                  Before I moved to Marbella I used to live in Estoril, an elegant town on the Portuguese Riviera just half an hour west of Lisbon. It’s a wonderful area in a beautiful, scenic setting close to an equally scenic and vibrant capital city, and one where socialising and good food are top of the list. When you live in or...

Many people celebrate this day by showing appreciation for the people they love or adore, giving typical gifts like greeting cards, chocolates or roses… So why not ditch the flowers and instead opt for an alternative gift for this romantic day? Picking non-traditional gifts will surely surprise your...

We have seen big changes to the roads from the Manifesto Design office in the fifteen years that we have been in the Guadalmina Commercial Centre. Every summer, local residents have faced traffic jams and bottlenecks due to the increased traffic flow, especially on the stretch of road between Puerto Banús and San Pedro Alcántara. The situation was improved greatly when the N340...

One of the biggest lessons I have learnt over the past couple of months is that you have to appreciate the things around you. And not crave for the things you want in life. At least you sometimes think you need them, but in reality, you actually don’t need them. Not only material things but maybe also with different relationships. In my internship here I have experienced that it’s...

In 2018 Manifesto Design celebrates its 15th anniversary. That means 15 years in business as one of the leading marketing and creative agencies on the Costa del Sol – uninterrupted by economic crises such as the one that followed the 2008 stock crashes. We feel that in a market as rapidly evolving as ours and a world that is all about flux this is quite an achievement, and it’s one...

The Mad Hatters Tea Party organised at The Terrace with Loulou Jane on Friday 14th December was a great success, raising a total of €5,175 euros in aid of the David Toms fund. The Marbella community came together in aid of the much-loved photographer, who suffered an accident last year. The money raised will go towards his care at Jasmin Care in Alhaurín de la Torre. His friends...
