MARBELLA CLUB

Royal Maid of Honour Pippa Middleton earned herself an army of fans when she waltzed down the aisle after Kate Middleton on April 29th. But it seems the stylish girl about town can now add one more unlikely supporter to her list – none other than chart topping superstar, Lady Gaga.

The outlandish songstress has spoken out about her love of the younger Miss Middleton’s style, and how her flowing Alexander McQueen ensemble stole the show at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s glittering nuptials.



No stranger to some weird, wonderful and downright bizarre fashion creations, it seems Lady G is still able to appreciate more simple sartorial sensibilities, and was quick to praise Pippa’s chic wedding day look.

When quizzed on the royal nuptials, Gaga confirmed she had seen the ceremony, and revealed she thought Pippa ‘oozed style’.

‘Kate looked great at the wedding but I thought the sister Pippa oozed style,’ the outlandish Judas singer told the Daily Star.

Demand for homes in the Spanish hotspots of Malaga in the Costa del Sol and Palma on the island of Mallorca could improve on the back of news that BA CityFlyer, a subsidiary of British Airways (BA), will introduce new flights to these two destinations from London City Airport.

In response to high demand from London City Airport travellers, BA CityFlyer, has announced a new route to Malaga and increased frequency of flights to Palma.

Many Brits working in the City of London often travel abroad from London City Airport in order to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital, with some already owning homes in places like Spain.

BA CityFlyer will fly to Malaga three times a week from 8 June 2011, while flights to Palma and Ibiza will increase from four to ten per week between July and September, the height of the holiday season.

Ignacio Osle, Sales & Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey de Espana, comments: “This is another positive step for Spain welcoming increased passenger numbers from London and the south-east of England. Demand is high for the Costa del Sol and Mallorca with many air travellers taking their holidays in these sunshine destinations but also we have great number of home owners in these regions so more flights allows greater flexibility in accessing second homes throughout the year.”

Set in the rolling hills of southern Spain between Marbella and Sotogrande, flanked by the Casares Mountains, its magnificent golf course overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and is hailed as one of Spain’s finest.

After four and a half decades, 2009 saw the Volvo World Match Play Championship move to its new home at Finca Cortesin, arguably one of the finest golf courses in the world.

This week 19 May sees 24 of the world’s top players flocking to Finca Cortesin’s spectacular par 72 18 hole golf course, designed by one of the world’s leading

golf course architects, Cabell Robinson.

The course has been designed to incorporate the area’s original flora and fauna and is reputed to have the best greens in Southern Spain, known as Finca Cortesin’s jewels.

At 7,380 yards, this is one of the longest golf courses in Europe, with over 100 beautifully crafted white marble sand bunkers dotted amongst well-manicured

fairways.

With five par-3s and five par-5s, the tournament kicked off today (Thursday 19 May) with players drawn into eight groups of three where they will battle it out for a spot in the knock-out stages, consisting of the last 16.

Semi-finals will be on Saturday 21 May with the final on Sunday 22 May to determine the winner of the €800,000 prize.

Finca Cortesin is an ideal getaway for golfers of all abilities. Cleverly positioned so that you never hit into the sun at anytime of the day, sharpen your swing and aim for one of the four target greens all situated at different distances, so you can practise for when you play the course itself.

Finca Cortesin’s facilities and services also include a golf club valet and cleaning service, a buggy bar for ice cold drinks on demand when on the course and a large interior designed Clubhouse with golf shop, bar, restaurant, terrace and impressive and unspoilt views of the course and the ocean.
