Ash Cloud’s Silver Lining?

The old saying that it’s an ill wind that blows no one any good was never more apt than during the shambles that was the volcanic ash fiasco.
While others suffered, there was a window of opportunity for some businesses in Spain so let’s hope they made hay while the sun shone – or at least while the volcano erupted.
Every time I heard on the news about groups of holidaymakers having to find their way across Spain to Madrid airport or to ferry ports, I thought about all the coach and taxi firms who could be receiving an unexpected boost. Also, I’m sure that overall some hotels might just have come out ahead, especially those around Madrid airport.
All in all, perhaps a tiny little boost for the Spanish economy and no bad thing to be seen as the country least likely to be affected by any future outpourings from what, in more ways than one, is becoming Europe’s most troublesome northern outpost.

October, Southern Spain…

Isn’t it great to see Valderrama back on the European Tour schedule?
It’s like seeing an old masterpiece restored to its rightful position on the walls of one of the famous art galleries.
Don’t expect all the top players to agree with that because some of them have never had the success at Valderrama that would allow them the luxury of admiring its natural beauty.
They can put that right in the Andalucian Masters which, with a three million euro prize fund and a prime position in the schedule in the final stages of the Race to Dubai, is sure to attract one of the season’s strongest fields.
As I’ve said before on this page, it’s important for Southern Spain to maintain its reputation for staging world-class golf events because the link between that and the tourist business is surely significant.
If the weather is kind that last week in October and plenty of fans turn out on the weekend, anyone watching on television in the UK and throughout the world will be reminded of what the Costa del Sol has to offer.
