Hey Deb,
See the post on the fb site, we've just been talking about the Internet. http://www.meridian-telecoms.tv/ don't know if you'll ned a landline.
Shopping
Zara in Carrefour, la Linea is big.
La Canada near Marbella is huge!
Primark in Algeciras, ok for bargains
Gibraltar has most uk shops, m&s, oasis, peacocks, bhs, Zara, top shop etc.
Los barrios has an outlet store which is decent sized too.
Best of all, amazon deliver to Spain!
The address format is block, then, escalera, then floor then flat.
Eg. Block 12, escalera 6, floor 2, apt 1 would be the following address
12.06.21 Duquesa Village
La Duquesa
Manilva
Malaga
29692
I think Gibraltar may be the best bet for badminton. Contact Victoria Stadium they may be able to point you in the right direction.
Hope this helps!
