acing blank walls can bea daunting prospectwhen first moving into anew house and it can be

hard to know where to begin turningan empty space into a home.Defining the theme and tone of yourliving spaces can seem like an

overwhelming task and it is temptingto hand the project over to theprofessionals and let a design teamloose to try and interpret yourdreams. But all homes benefit fromthe personal touch and letting yourpersonal expression shine through iswhat really makes a house a home.

So with a little help and guidancefrom creamhomeaspiration we canhelp you to start turning your dreamsinto the reality of a beautiful home.

Finding inspiration can be thehardest part of the decoratingprocess and usually onceinspiration has struck everythingcan seem to fall seamlessly intoplace – but how do we get thatinitial lightning bolt?

Firstly do not try and force it orpanic when it is not forthcoming:inspiration can strike at any time andin any place and the best ideasusually happen when we are thinkingof a totally unrelated subject. But youcan start by looking throughmagazines and interior designbooks, pick out the photographs thatyou like and try and identify exactlywhat it is that appeals to you. Is it thecolour? The room layout? Or themood that the picture has created?

Perusing home wear shops canalso assist the creative processand help to inspire; finding theperfect wall colour, a swatch offabric for the sofa or a beautifulpiece of artwork can be the start ofcreating your ideal room.

There are a few golden rules toremember when taking on the bigand important project of designingyour living space. Firstly it isimperative to define the function ofthe room; for example with a livingroom, most people want the roomto be inviting, comfortable andrelaxing but it is also important todetermine who will be using theroom. Will it be a place for the wholefamily, a private sanctuary or a roomused for entertaining businessassociates or friends?The second step is to decide themood of the room ... relaxing,luxurious, light and airy are allmoods that can be created throughthe use of colours, tactile fabrics,clever lighting and accessories.

And the final goal is to makesure the room has a sense ofharmony. This is achieved byensuring that all the elements,from your furniture and colourscheme to your rugs and vaseshave a common theme and workwell together.

Finally, try and stay away fromfollowing trends! What is in fashionnow will probably not be in acouple of years time and unlessyou are willing to redo the entiredecorating process regularly, atgreat time and expense, then tryand stick to a non-faddy style.After all a classic design will befashionable forever!

part of Andalusia's history, there isno shortage of inspirational placeshere to help you to research thestyle you feel will best fit yourhome. The internet also provides agreat variety and depth of fine artand is a great resource whenlooking for artwork. Either byvisiting individual artist websites orchecking out on-line galleries youwill be sure to find a style thatspeaks to you, whether it'sphotography, impressionism, theRomantics or abstract.

If you find yourself feelingstrongly about a particular piece ofartwork, then you should buy the artyou love and find a place to displayit; however, you may find that whenyou get the piece home it does notwork with your surroundings or itlooks out of place in the room. Ifyou encounter this problem then tryhanging the artwork in variousplaces and on different walls - youmay see it looks fabulous in a placeyou had previously not thought of!Or making a few small changes toa room, like re-arranging furniture orpainting a previously patterned walla neutral colour, can be all it takes

to make your new art shine! Thecorrect lighting can also have a bigimpact and placing a picture lightor direct track lighting can go along way to exhibiting your artworkto make it look its very best. If youdecide to hang a painting in directsunlight, make sure it will not beaffected by ultra violet rays.Framing your art under UVprotected glass or acrylic will helpprevent damage. This is especiallyimportant with watercolours, pastelsor pencil works as these areespecially susceptible.

Some people start with a pieceof art as the inspiration for theirroom design and create a room tofit the artwork. In this caseremember that the bolder the art,then the more room it needs tobreathe. If you want to make yourpiece the centre of attention, thenplay down the other elements ofthe space such as curtains,carpeting, wallpaper patterns andeven furniture. A room crowdedwith too many colours, texturesand objects will take the spotlightfrom your prized piece, so followthe principle that less is more.

If you do like to use lots of coloursin your interior design then considerart with muted colours or even blackand white pieces. Alternatively, if youare selecting artwork to complimenta colour featured throughout yourroom, then choose one or two of themost prominent, boldest colours inthe room and look for art that hasthose colours running through it. It isnot important if the colours are notan exact match but you do want tosend the message that the artworkis at home in its environment.

Framing is an integral part ofshowing your art to its bestadvantage. While some biggercanvases can benefit from noframe at all, smaller pieces canlook stunning in frames consistentwith their surroundings. If yourhome is filled with antiques, thenantique-style frames will set off theartwork perfectly. But perhaps themost important thing to rememberis that all art is a form ofexpression, so while theseprinciples can be a helpful start,feel free to experiment and becreative and let your personal styleshine through!

FLOWER & PLANT TRANSLATIONS

Thanks to the climate, gardening inthe Mediterranean area is verydifferent to back in the UK - or otherparts of northern Europe. Not onlydoes the weather make gardening amore enjoyable pastime but plantsthat thrived in the milder and wetterclimes of Great Britain will not do sowell here. However, it is possible tocreate a beautiful garden thatflourishes all year round just bysimply adjusting plant choices andlearning about alternative flowers andshrubs that can take the heat!

The best place to start is at yourlocal garden centre. Just seeingwhat is available season to seasonwill tell you all you need to knowabout which flowers to choose.There are always staff on hand aswell to advise on the best conditionsfor the plants they are selling.

Looking around your local area atyour neighbours' gardens will alsogive you ideas as to which are thebest plants for your soil type. If youdo look around your local vicinity,something you may come acrosstime and time again is clematis. Thisperennial climbing vine is a memberof the buttercup family and is populardue to its large, showy flowers; theycan grow up to 30 feet (10 metres) inlength and bloom in late spring andearly summer. Needing at least sixhours of direct sunshine a day and

watering once a week, these not onlysurvive well in the heat but they arevery easy to grow.

Another popular vine is thebougainvillea. They can becultivated from four to six-inch (10to 15-centimetre) cuttings andgrow as long as 40 feet, but theycan also be trained as bushypotted plants. Flowering inclusters, they come in a variety ofstunning colours including pink,purple, red, yellow, orange andwhite. These plants thrive in hotclimates, do best with minimalwatering and require very little carebut they are frost sensitive.

A good choice of shrub for thisclimate is the slow-growingevergreen boxwood. Preferringmoist, well-draining soil, they canhandle full sun although they dofavour partial shade - but mulchinghelps them withstand hottertemperatures and conserve water.Some varieties can reach heightsof 20 feet and are frequently usedas border plants. Boxwoods canbe shaped and are frequently usedas topiary.

Provided you choose plants thatcan withstand the hot weather youwill be able to create your ownpersonal oasis, whether you have apatio garden, a blooming balcony ora sweeping garden!

recipesLet’s cookJanet Mendel, author of thecookbook, Tapas-A Bite of Spain,shows you how to translate Spanishtapas from tasca to your own table.The book includes guides to Spanish

ham, cheeses, olives, olive oil andwines; a handy Spanish-Englishglossary; and 140 recipes forfavourite tapa dishes.Photos Michelle Chaplow

How to Plan aTapas PartyTapas, almost by definition, are barfood. Nevertheless, many of themtranslate very nicely to homeentertaining. A spread of salads andcold dishes is very nice for a buffetdinner. Trays of finger foods – biteson bread or picks, fritters andcroquettes – can be passed as horsd'ouevres at a drinks party. Tortilla isgreat for brunch or picnic. Grilledfoods are right at home at abarbecue. Many tapas can becomestarters, side dishes or main dishes,so you can adapt them to a dinnerparty. Often all you need is to add apudding or pastry to the tapasdishes to complete the menu plan.

Let your personal style ofentertaining guide you in planninga tapas menu. Are you having agreat big party, where everyonemills around on foot, or just a fewfriends over for drinks? A buffetmeal? Dinner for six to eight or agang around the barbecue on theterrace? There are tapa recipes tosuit any occasion.

Will your guests be seated orcirculating on foot? If they'reseated, you can present sometapas in individual small disheswith spoons or forks, so saucyfoods work fine. But, guests onfoot, with a wine glass in onehand, can only pick up tapaseasily handled with one hand.Tapas on a pick or on bread arethe best choices.

monthlyrecipes

Page 45: Cream Magazine

Consider your serving capacity.Do you have enough individualsmall dishes to go around? If not,plan tapas that can be picked upfrom a tray and don't requiredishes. Do provide napkins, aseven finger foods and pintxos (biteson a pick) can be a little messy. InSpain, you can buy inexpensivelittle cazuelitas – pottery dishes, forindividual tapas – or use anyramekins, small bowls or, now thatno one smokes anymore, recycleceramic ashtrays for tapa dishes.

A tip: don´t put out all the tapasat once. Serve them two-by-two. Ifpossible, provide a clean ramekin(or paper plate) for each tapa sothat your guests don't have to pilethem on a plate together.

Are tapas going to be the wholemeal? This is tricky. A few friendssitting around, sipping wine, mayarrive early and stay late. Eventhough the evening was neverintended to include dinner, makethe tapas substantial enough tolast the evening. But, if it's amultitudinous drinks party, don'texpect to feed guests a meal.Titillate their taste buds.

A really simple party plan is tochoose one tapa from each of therecipe chapters; Sausage, Hamand Cheese; Bites on Bread; Biteson a Pick; Salads and ColdDishes; Potato Tortilla and MoreEgg Dishes; Foods on the Grill;Saucy Dishes; Out of the FryingPan; Sauces, Dressings, Dips andSpreads; and What to Drink withTapas. The cookbook providesseveral detailed party menus.

Here's a menu plan for one sortof tapas party with two recipesfrom Tapas-A Bite of Spain.

A few friendsfor drinksThese are tapas for a very smallgroup (four to eight), whereyou're all sitting around, cosy bya log fire in the winter or alfresco on the terrace in thesummer. You can prepare mostof the tapas in advance. Do thelast-minute ones while yourpartner is opening the wines.

Fried AlmondsCheese in Olive OilHam CroquettesShellfish Balls in Green SauceBeef Fillet Tips with Sherry

The croquettes can be prepared inadvance, frozen, then fried beforeserving. Reheat them in a hotoven, if you like. The shellfish ballsneed dishes, but can be eaten witha pick. The beef fillet is cut in smallchunks, speared on picks. Servethis tapas selection with fino andamontillado Sherry or Montilla-Moriles wine.

Croquetas de JamónHam CroquettesThis is a perennial favourite.Croquettes are best piping hot, sothe golden-brown crust is crispand the filling molten. While theyrequire last-minute frying, thecroquettes can be shaped andbreaded well in advance. In fact,they can even be prepared andfrozen. Heating the chopped hamin oil before incorporating it in thecroquette mixture flavours the oil.But take care not to let the hamget crisp. Croquettes aresometimes served with a dippingsauce, such as garlic mayonnaise.

Makes approximately 50 croquettes.

1 litre / 13/4 pints / 41/4 cups milk140ml / 1/4 pint / 1/2 cup+1 tablespoon olive oil125g / 41/2 oz serrano or ibéricoham, chopped4 tablespoons chopped springonion, including some of greenPinch of thyme110g / 4 oz / 1 cup plain flour, sifted1 teaspoon saltFreshly ground black pepper210g / 71/4 oz / 13/4 cups fine drybread crumbs3 eggs beaten with 2 teaspoonswaterOlive oil for frying

Cream JUNE 2011 45

Bring the milk to the boil and setaside. Heat the oil in a pan and sautéthe ham gently for 2 minutes withoutletting it brown. Pour the oil through asieve into a heat-proof bowl.

Return the oil to the pan andsauté the onion without letting itbrown, two minutes. Add thethyme and stir in the flour. Cooktwo minutes without browning theflour. Whisk in the hot milk, stirringhard as the mixture thickens. Cookon low heat, stirring constantly,until the mixture is thick andsmooth, seven minutes. Removefrom heat and stir in the ham, saltand pepper.

Spread the mixture in a large,shallow tin that has been lightlyoiled. Cover with plastic wrap andallow to cool, then refrigerate atleast two hours and up to 24 hours.

Place half the bread crumbs inanother shallow tin. Place thebeaten eggs in a shallow bowl.Working with part of the croquettemixture at a time (return the tin tothe refrigerator), drop spoonfuls intothe tray of breadcrumbs. Roll themin the crumbs to form 5cm / 21/2 incylinders. (Use about 22 g / 3/4oz ofthe mixture for each croquette.)

Use two forks to dip eachcroquette in beaten egg, lettingexcess egg drip off, then drop thecroquettes back into the crumbs.Sprinkle with some of remainingcrumbs. Roll the croquettes incrumbs. Take care to completelycoat the croquettes so that fillingdoesn't leak out in the hot oil. Asthey are shaped and breaded,place them on a tray. Allow to dryfor at least 30 minutes.

Place oil in a deep fryer or in adeep frying pan to a depth of atleast 21/2cm / 1in. Heat to 180ºC /360ºF. Fry the croquettes inbatches until they are golden-brown, about three minutes. Drainon paper towels. Serve hot.

Punta de Solomillo BeefFillet Tips with SherryThis is a ravishingly good tapa, aSeville favourite – succulent bitesof fillet steak (tenderloin), quicklysautéed with garlic and Sherry.

Makes 10 tapas.2 (21/2cm / 1-in thick) slices beeffillet steak (tenderloin), about200 g / 7 oz Salt and freshly ground blackpepper2 cloves garlic, sliveredlengthwise2 tablespoons olive oil60 ml / 2 fl oz / 1/4 cup dry Sherry5 toasts, cut in halfCoarse salt

Flatten the slices of fillet steakslightly. Cut each in halflengthwise, then crosswise tomake five cubes. Sprinkle themwith salt and pepper and sliveredgarlic. Allow to stand at roomtemperature 30 to 40 minutes.

Heat the oil in a small frying pan.On high heat, add the beef andgarlic and sauté until browned onall sides, about two minutes. Skimthe meat out and keep warm. Addthe Sherry to the pan. Reduce onhigh heat for one minute. Pour thejuices over the pieces of beef.

Set a piece of beef on eachtoast and skewer with a cocktail

GOLFon the Costa del Sol

iding high on theirRyder Cup success in2010, European golfpros started the 2011

European Tour with excellenthopes. Kicking off in December2010, the tour started in SouthAfrica and arrived on theMediterranean coast in Marchwith the Open de Andalucía,

held at the beautiful ParadorMálaga Golf. This area of Spainis holding no fewer than threeTour events this year, with theVolvo World Match PlayChampionship at Finca Cortesínfrom 19 to 22 May and the world-renowned Valderrama hostingthe Andalucía ValderramaMasters from 27 to 30 October.

Andalucía attracts so manymajor golfing events for goodreason: the courses here arerated as some of the best in theworld and are favourites withmany big names in the world ofgolf. Seve Ballesteros, who sadlypassed away in May, had a handin designing three courses inMálaga province: Alhaurín Golfand Country Club, San RoqueNew Course and Los Arqueros.Also credited with making thisarea such a desired place to playare Peter Alliss, Clive Clark, DaveThomas, José María Cañizares,

Gary Player and Robert TrentJones, all of whom havedesigned courses in this regionof Spain.

It is easy to see why the Costadel Sol is considered such agolfers' paradise: in addition tothe amazing range of courses,golf resorts and golf academies,

players are spoilt with thebeautiful year-round weather.

But you do not have to be aprofessional to enjoy the widevariety of courses here: withnearly 50 courses and resorts onoffer, players of any ability will beable to find a fairway to flattertheir handicap!

R

This region of Spain is nicknamed the “Costa Del Golf”for good reason! There are a multitude of exceptionalcourses playing host to world renowned championships,so we have decided to bring you the best of the best,in our monthly golf review!

monthlygolfsportVolvo World Match Playreturns to Finca CortesínIt had been the subject of muchspeculation and bar-stool punditry.When were they planning to holdthe 2010 Volvo World Match PlayChampionship? Or, more to thepoint: would they be holding it at all?

In 2009, when the championshipmoved to Finca Cortesín from itstraditional Wentworth venue since1964 (together with a new sponsorand format), it had been held from29 October to 1 November. InDecember 2009, however, it wasannounced that the Junta deAndalucía (regional government)had swooped in and taken up thatsame European Tour week in 2010(28-31 October) for the inauguralAndalucía Masters at Valderrama.With the Castelló Masters the weekbefore and the WGC-HSBCChampions the following week, theWorld Match Play effectively hadnowhere to go.

Behind the scenes, Volvoapparently were quietly mullingover the situation: reading all theblogs and commentary with somebemusement but, with sterlingSwedish sang-froid, keeping theircards close to their chest until theyhad something to say.

By 7 June they did havesomething to say: there would beno championship in 2010, and theevent would move to a permanentdate in May 2011 (19th to 22nd) atFinca Cortesín, with the fieldexpanded to 24 players, anincreased prize fund and a “refinedqualification criteria”.

In a news release accompanyingtheir press conference at FincaCortesín that same day, theyexplained: “Securing a newpermanent date for thechampionship has been at the veryheart of today's announcement.With the global schedule becomingever more congested in the autumnmonths with existing tournamentsand the addition of new events inEurope and Asia, Volvo and IMGhave worked together with theEuropean Tour and, crucially, theplayers, to ensure that this world-class event is given the date itproperly deserves. The newpermanent May date for thechampionship is secured under afour-year agreement with theEuropean Tour (2011-2014) andensures the Volvo World MatchPlay Championship is guaranteedthe Spanish sunshine and that the

world's best players are able toinclude the Volvo World Match PlayChampionship in their schedules;and, crucially, the aim is that theVolvo World Match PlayChampionship will now be the soledominant European Tour eventplayed in the new date.”

In 2011, the field will beincreased from 16 to 24, and theprizemoney will rise to €3.4million, with a winner's cheque of€800,000; and there will be eightround-robin groups of threeplayers each (in 2009 there werefour groups of four).

Under the new qualificationsystem, those earning a place in thefield will include the defendingchampion (Ross Fisher); the winnerof the 2010 Volvo China Open (Y.E.Yang); the four leading players in the2010 Race to Dubai; eight playersthrough selected European Tourevents, including the winner andrunner-up of the Andalucía Masters2010 and Open de Andalucía 2011;other players, according to theircontinent of origin, from the worldrankings after the 2011 US Mastersand the Race to Dubai; and onesponsor's invitee.

Speaking at the pressconference, Per Ericsson, presidentand CEO of Volvo EventManagement Golf, said, “Theround-robin groups (in 2009) werea great success and we think theextended field and the eight groupsof three will lead to even moreexcitement and a clearerunderstanding for the players andspectators as to who will emergethe group winners.

“We changed the qualificationcriteria ahead of the 2009championship because we wantedto make the event even moreinternational and we feel it workedwonderfully and were thrilled withthe field gathered in 2009. Extendingthe field to 24 players has enabledus to build on this ethos and we areconfident that the 2011championship will deliver a largergroup of the world's leading golfersof the same excellent quality, whilespectators will see their favouritesplaying a larger number of nail-bitingmatches. This is a world classtournament and we took our time toagree the new date going forwardafter studying all the relevant Tours'schedules to ensure our tournamentis the one to play that week.”

Top pedigree forOpen de AndalucíaSince Miguel Ángel Jiménez resurrected the Opende Andalucía in Marbella in 2007, the roll-call ofchampions has been impressive. That first eventthree years at Aloha was won by Lee Westwood,who went on to become world number one lastyear. The 2010 Open de Andalucía was LouisOosthuizen's first European Tour title, and justthree months later he added the British OpenChampionship. This year, 1999 British Openwinner Paul Lawrie ended a barren nine yearswithout a Tour win by taking the title at ParadorMálaga de Golf. The 42-year-old Scot, 272nd onthe World Golf Ranking going into the Málagatournament, took a one-stroke lead into the finalround and, after a bit of an early stumble, cardedfour birdies on the second nine to win by one shotfrom Sweden's Johan Edfors. EnglishmanKenneth Ferrie, who had carded a sparkling 10-under 60 in the third round to rise to secondplace, slipped down to 11th on the final day.Álvaro Quirós, the highest world ranked player inthe field, finished a lowly 51st, while tournamentpromoter and host Jiménez, José María Olazábal,Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke wereamong those missing the halfway cut.

After four days of testing at theJerez racetrack, Williams driverRubens Barrichello gained anearly psychological edge withthe best time of the final sessionand an overall advantage duringthe week.

Sauber’s Kamui Kobayashiwas second on the final day,and home favourite FernandoAlonso (Ferrari) third. Later,asked about his main rivalsduring the 2010 season, RedBull, the Asturian said, “I haven’tpaid much attention to whatthey did. These are tests and noone knows what the others aredoing. I would guess that RedBull, McLaren, Renault,Mercedes and Ferrari will beclose to each other fighting forvictory, and I would be surprisedif other teams are battling for awin this year. Taking intoaccount the fact that Red Bullhad a half-second advantage inAbu Dhabi at the end of 2010, intheory they will start with anadvantage in Bahrain and they

are therefore the point ofreference.” (Later, unrest in thekingdom prompted theorganisers to postpone theBahrain race to “a later date” tobe confirmed.)

An estimated 25,000 peopleattended the test sessions inJerez over the four days.

Felipe Massa (Ferrari) made asound start to the sessions,leading the way on the first day;Michael Schumacher(Mercedes) was fastest on thesecond day; and Nick Heidfeld(Lotus Renault) had the edge onthe third day.

There will be two Formula 1races in Spain again this year:Spanish Grand Prix, Cataluña,22 May; and Grand Prix ofEurope, Valencia, 26 June.Following the postponement ofthe Bahrain Grand Prix, theAustralian Grand Prix becamethe first race of the year, inMelbourne on 27 March; andthe 20-race season ends inBrazil on 27 November.

It was Vettel's 11th win in his 63rdGrand Prix. Later he said, "I don'tthink it was an easy race. The startwas crucial and, being on the cleanside of the track, I had a very goodgetaway. The second part of therace I didn't know what was going

on behind Lewis so, with himdropping off, I was able to controlthe situation a bit better.”

Hamilton was upbeat after therace. "I think we can be very proudof ourselves. The guys did a greatjob coming into this weekend and aweek or two ago we were notexpecting to be anywhere nearthe top five here."

Petrov was also pleasedafter his first podium finish in20 Grand Prix. "I am veryhappy to be on the podiumwith these guys and allweek was pretty good forus… during practice andqualifying our car lookedpretty strong and todaythe team did everything perfectly."

CHINESE GRAND PRIXMcLaren back in the raceMcLaren fine-tuned their strategyto excellent effect in Shanghai,enabling Lewis Hamilton to endthe early-season hegemony ofRed Bull's Sebastian Vettel.

The Englishman, runner-up inthe opening race in Australia andeighth in Malaysia, beat Vettel –winner of the first two Grand Prixof 2011 – by five seconds in theChinese Grand Prix, with MarkWebber finishing just behind hisRed Bull teammate for his firstpodium finish of the new season.

Thanking the team for his 15thFormula 1 win, 26-year-oldHamilton said. “That wasamazing… I think today thestrategy that we came up withdefinitely helped. My new optiontyres seemed to last longer. Thepit stops were fantastic. The carfelt great and I was trying tonurse my tyres while picking uppace. It was one of the best racesI've experienced."

Commenting on his poor startfrom pole, Vettel said, “It seemedthe left-hand side is worse here. Itwasn't a 100 per cent good startso I lost position. We treated thetyres better up to the first pit stop.

I came to the box and afterwardscame out first… and then I thinkwe tried too hard staying on twostops. I saw Lewis coming closerand there was no point defendingtoo hard – he found his way past.We did a couple of mistakes butstill finished second so I'm veryhappy with that.”

Australian Webber, who beganthe race 18th on the grid, edgedout a disappointed JensenButton, the Englishman havingtaken the lead at the first cornerbut eventually slipping to fourth.Button's woes were compoundedby a mistake on the first pit stopwhen he initially drove into theRed Bull pit before being wavedthrough to McLaren next door.

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg alsoled at one stage during the racebefore finishing fifth, ahead ofFerrari's Felipe Massa andFernando Alonso, respectively.

Seven-times champion MichaelSchumacher brought hisMercedes home eighth, Renault'sVitaly Petrov – third in theopening race in Australia – wasninth and Kamui Kobayashi gaveSauber a second consecutivetop-10 finish (he was disqualifiedfrom the first race).

a Thai style, making the alreadycomplex project even morecomplicated. In order to achievean authentic feel to the building,many construction materials and

decorative elements were broughtdirectly from Thailand. The bluefabrics used in the entrance hallwere manufactured specificallyfor the butterfly park in Chiang-Mai – and this is the original fabrictraditionally used in templesin Thailand.

The decision to opt forthis style was motivated byvarious factors:

1. Aesthetic and conceptualharmony with the Tibetan templelocated in the park. Buddhistphilosophy is in tune withpeople's perception of butterflies(beauty, serenity, silence). In Asia,butterflies symbolise the soul andspirituality.

2. It was in Asia – specificallyChina 4,000 years ago – wherethe first butterflies were raised for

the production of silk, and later inThailand, Malaysia and Indonesiafor their display in captivity.

The flying area in the butterflypark is a glassed-in tropicalgarden extending over 900square metres and eight metreshigh, with between 1,500 and2,000 exotic butterflies fromtropical areas throughout theworld. During the year you cansee more than 150 differentspecies. Seventy per cent of thebutterflies are reproduced by theBenalmádena park, and the other30 per cent imported from theircountries of origin.

Special attention has been paidto creating a natural ambience inthe garden, to enable visitors tofeel immersed in the butterflies'habitat. The garden has beencreated as a transparent space,providing the most natural andclean viewing areas possible.

The main difficulty involved insetting up the park wasacclimatisation, as butterfliesrequire very specific and special

environmental conditions (24-28ºC and 70 per cent relativehumidity) – not easy to maintainin an area of this size.

Maintenance of the garden isalso complicated, as nopesticide products can be usedto control pests – it all has to bedone manually and usingbiological means.

The butterfly park is a privateinitiative supported from the startby Benalmádena Town Hall,which ceded land for the park.The project developmentcompany is Dracaena S.L.,involving businessman JoséAntonio Plaza and veterinarianAsunción Gómez. The companyhas another butterfly park and theonly butterfly farm in Europe, theCentro Entomológico del Norte,both in the Canary Isles.

The butterfly park is a zoo inevery sense of the word. Themain difference with othernature parks is that inBenalmádena they are workingwith animals that have an

average life of just two weeks,so it is a very dynamic zoowhere the population is renewedevery 15 days.

Another feature allowing themto stand out from other parks is,of course, direct contact with thepublic. The butterflies are flyingaround visitors and it is possibleto watch how they behave first-hand. This is known as “zoo-immersion”, which enablesvisitors to become submerged inthe animals' own habitat – theobjective is to minimise, orcamouflage, the visual barriersbetween people and the animals.

As a zoo, they are committed topreservation and education, and tothat end they work very closelywith colleagues, setting up naturalclassrooms and holding seminarsin the actual butterfly park.

The park is one of manyexcellent and varied nature parkson the Costa del Sol, confirmingBenalmádena as a keydestination for family leisure andnature-based activities.
