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.

Power Plates Marbella
In the past few months it seems that everyone has been talking about PowerPlates! There’s always a buzz surrounding the latest ‘must have’ training method in the fitness industry, but the excitement surrounding PowerPlates seems more intense than ever before. PowerPlate is the brand leader for Acceleration Training Technology. Training with PowerPlates gives the body a high intensity workout by increasing the speed of contraction in the muscles. This greatly increases the intensity of the workout and means people can gain significant results from as little as three, fifteen minute sessions a week. Many celebrities including Kylie Minogue, Elle Macpherson and Sienna Miller have all credited their physiques to PowerPlate technology, while they are an integral part of training for many professional sports teams, including Manchester United. September 2008 saw the official launch of Good Vibrations PowerPlate Studio in Nueva Andalucia. This cleverly named centre is the only dedicated PowerPlate studio in Marbella, providing one on one training sessions and group classes. The studio has been wonderfully designed and is built with the sole purpose of providing the best possible facilities for PowerPlate training. Conveniently located in Centro Plaza, Nueva Andalucia, PowerPlate training at Good Vibrations is the perfect way to get fit for Christmas, and again afterwards!

Gastric Mind Band at Elite Clinic Spain
The Gastric mind Band hits the UK press
The media frenzy regarding the Gastric Band continues to grow, with Courtney Love joining other celebrities, by owning up to having her own one fitted. Now rumours are circulating that we may get to hear of many more ‘A’ list celebrities, maybe even hundreds, each with a perfect body, who secretly owe their shape to their friend the band rather than to their lifestyle.
The alternative approach to gastric band surgery, the ‘Gastric mind Band’ technique, which was developed by the Elite Clinic here on the coast in Fuengirola, was featured in the UK press this month, when co-developer Martin Shirran (pictured above) appeared with TV presenter Fern Britton. The article highlighted the advantages of the alternative approach and its wide appeal to both men and women. The surgery free therapy, costing less than €800, has this month even attracted fans from the USA, where there is a keen interest in the unique approach.
The GmB therapy is a clever combination of Virtual Reality, CBT, Guided Imagery, Hypnotherapy and NLP. Clients who attend the clinic are asked to just lean back and relax. Later they wake up fully convinced that they have just undergone a medical procedure involving the fitting of a Gastric Band around their stomach. In the following weeks and months they continue to experience all the sensations expected by a person who had physically had a band fitted, including the steady and continuous weight loss, without of course the surgery. Surprisingly the GmB therapy package is already proving to be a winner as an unusual Christmas gift this year, for both her and him!

Champneys Marbella
Champneys comes to Marbella
I'm delighted to hear that Champneys, the UK luxury spa company, are developing their Marbella based spa resort, and apartments and penthouses are currently for sale. The development is located behind Marbella, off the road to Ojen and Monda. The joy of this location is the stunning views of green hills, set in a conservation area, and so close to the Mediterranean. Yet the Motor way, Marbella and Puerto Banus are only 10 minutes away, out of sight and sound.
The planters and fountains next to the oversized baths, brightly lit internal patios, open fireplaces, and plunge pools on the penthouse terrace, are all features that make for true luxury. Although only two bed, the apartments are huge, over 200 m2. The price includes all furniture of very high quality, including plasma TV, and DVD player, right down to crockery, cutlery, bedding and linen. By offering apartment and penthouse owners the prospect of entering the Champneys letting pool, they aim to market Champneys breaks to Champneys customers, with Marbella being positioned as a fifth resort for the group.
The Spa has heated indoor and outdoor pools, twenty five therapy rooms, a manicure salon, sauna and turkish baths, a jacuzzi terrace, a fully equipped gym, an exercise studio and juice bar, cafe restaurant, relaxation areas, a Champneys shop, conservatory gardens, sun terraces, spectacular patios and water features, not forgetting a plaza with hanging gardens.

Fitness equipment Marbella
New fitness equipment floor at El Corte Ingles, Costa Marbella.
It’s always been difficult to find somewhere that supplies quality gym equipment in Marbella. That is until El Corte Ingles recently introduced their new fitness department at the Costa Marbella centre in Puerto Banus. Everything from exercise benches, spinning bikes, rowing machines and free weights is available, but top of the ‘most wanted’ list must surely be the Power Plates! Power Plates stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. The vibrations activate muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, providing an incredibly intense workout. Studies have shown that working out for just 15 minutes, 3 times a week on Power Plates, can be enough to achieve significant results. So for the ultimate home gym, visit El Corte Ingles in Puerto Banus.
