SOL Classic Car Club – Start Of There 20th Anniversary year.
We had excellent start to the new year, weather was on our side on the 10 of January – a rather fresh morning. We enjoyed a great figure of 8 route through the scenic coastal and mountains roads of Sierra de Mijas, east part of Villafranco del Guadalhorce and close to the 1074m high Castiillejos mountain..
The 120km drive left Calahonda at 11am passing Mijas Golf, Higueron, Mijas Peublo, Camino de Valtocado, then onto Alhaurin el Grande, Coin, Gauro, Monda, Entrerrios, through the ever developing La Cala Golf valley and up to La Mairena with its stunning views towards Gibraltar and Morocco, completing the drive along the A7 to Calahonda.
The most beautiful hills and sea views of this area.
We had our breakfast start at “The Almond Plaice” in El Zoco Calahonda and the coffee stop was near the Rio Grande at the “Coin Carvery at The Pig” and a refreshing Cava/soft drink stop above Elviria.
Arriving back in Calahonda we had wonderful 3 course lunch at La Plaza Beach Restaurant in Dona Lola complex, the first time the club has used this venue in a beautiful seafront setting with stunning coastal views.
The club welcomed new members Teppo and Virpi who had driven there superb 38 year old Mercedes Benz 190E from Finland and they thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and event. We had some friends with us as well. All support welcome.
Big thank you to Mike Glithero and Sue Gerrard for organizing the whole day and it was a pleasure to be part of it. Mike also organised the SOL CCC to have an article in Connection Magazine. Don’t forget to pick up the next issue.
