Where are you from?
I am from Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
When did you move to Ayamonte?
I moved here six years ago in 2007 .
How did you find out about this place?
I heard about Costa de la Luz from some friends who had been here and told me how unspoiled it was to compare with other coastal areas in Spain and Portugal. Then I saw the plans for Costa Esuri and saw that it was the ideal base for the Golf Academy I wanted to set up.
What do you like most about Ayamonte?
The style of life after living in major cities, Barcelona and London included. And of course Ayamonte offers perfect weather, beaches and fantastic golf courses.
What would you change?
Nothing! My family is here because of the beauty of the area and the way of life, and we are very happy here.
What was the most difficult thing coming to live here?
Moving to a relatively undeveloped area means that there are a few things in the infrastructure that could be better but it is also nice to be here and see it come on and develop. Of course, like everyone, the distance from family and friends is always difficult.
Favourite food?
Prawns, coquinas, Iberian pork (secreto), tortilla; luckily for me all of the Spanish dishes agree with me!
Favourite Festival?
Las Angustias festival as it’s our local festival and has a wonderful atmosphere.
Recommended dish, tapa, or food?
There are so many but to name two: Pimentada (Salad of roast peppers and tomatoes with onions) and calamares de campo (deep fried onion and peppers often in rings)
Something not to be missed?
Early morning on the golf course, midday siesta and sunset on the beach.
