We recently had our second child, a gorgeous baby boy. As with our daughter we had the birth at the Costa del Sol hospital. Deciding where to have your baby can be realy difficult, you tend to hear good and bad stories about all the hospitals here on the Costa del Sol. One of the factors that led us to the Costa del Sol hospital is that if anything ever goes wrong, or the baby is ill, then it seems that wherever you have the baby, you end up at the Costa del Sol Hospital as they have the best facilities to care for the baby. Some of the private hospitals, such as Hospiten or USP also seem to have a reputation for higher rates of cesarian sections. This may be because doctors tend to be more involved in the births at these private hospitals, whereas the Costa del Sol hospital uses midwives to deliver babies.
Anyway, with both our children we were happy with the service - it's not like the UK with the patient care and it can feel like you have to drag any information out of the nurses, but the actual medical treatment is great.

Estepona market
We went to Estepona market yesterday to have a look around and buy some fruit and vegetables. The market is located at the far end of Estepona, near to Estepona Poligono. There's all the usual stalls there, I think many of the same ones do all the markets on the coast. The fruit and veg was really good, big trays of strawberries and cherries, much cheaper than Mercadona. It was really busy yesterday, and hot! It seems that as soon as June arrived the temperature has gone up a few extra degrees!

Vein Clinic Marbella
State of the art treatment at The Advanced Vein Clinic
The Advanced vein Clinic in Marbella specialises exclusively in the management of varicose veins, spider veins, facial veins and deep vein thrombosis, offering high expertise and providing safe and affordable treatments.
The clinic treats both patients who suffer from cosmetic concerns about veins on their face or legs and patients who suffer from symptomatic varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
Safety is their first concern, and they can guarantee that every treatment they deliver has been fully validated by international health federations and their results confirmed by extensive studies.
The clinic also offers painless vascular testing with 3D digital colour Doppler ultrasound which is performed to obtain a precise mapping of the diseased veins. A treatment plan is then designed according to each patient’s specific needs.
Varicose veins are now best treated by Endovenous Laser Ablation. This new minimally invasive treatment is done under local anaesthetic. It is a walk-in walk-out procedure that gives excellent cosmetic and functional results. Patients resume a normal life the same day. Depending on the size, colour and depth of the vessel, leg thread veins are treated with a combination of foam sclerotherapy, microsclerotherapy and/or Laser treatment. A unique polarized light system is used to ensure the best results. Facial thread veins are best treated by a specific vascular laser. This treatment is highly successful and giving immediate results without scarring and normal activities can be resumed after treatment.
As a specialised centre, the Advanced Vein Clinic provides the most complete range of venous explorations and treatments available using the latest techniques.
