Destinations
MÁLAGA
Settle down for a tasty lunch or dinner
at Restaurante Mesón la Cepa in
Calle Strachan, which has been
feeding hungry diners for 20 years and
has plenty of loyal customers. Run by
legendary restaurateur Antonio Agüera
Miranda, it’s a reference point for Málaga
gastronomy, and a magnet for foodies.
Feast on cod cooked in a variety of ways,
fried squid, Russian salad, Iberian hams
and cheeses, broad beans with ham,
sirloin steak, pork shoulder, or their famous,
tender lamb shoulder – all at a reasonable
price. Tapas is a speciality, if you don’t
fancy a full meal.
LONDON STANSTED
Are you overdue some Me Time? Just
over an hour’s drive from the airport
and situated in 130 acres of gorgeous
English Heritage-listed gardens and
woodland is the Lifehouse Hotel & Spa
near Frinton-on-Sea. Indulge in a Blissful
Couples break, a Best Friends break, or
a two-night Babymoon or choose from
a range of wellness breaks to help you
either de-stress, detox or lose weight
and set you on the path to a healthier
lifestyle. There’s a restaurant serving
delicious seasonal dishes – or how about a
Champagne cream tea? It’s the perfect
place to enjoy soothing treatments and
fresh, country air.
LONDON HEATHROW
You can’t beat catching a classic
flick under the stars on a summer’s
evening. In August, choose from the
likes of The Italian Job in Holland Park, The
Greatest Showman at Hampton Court
Palace, Moulin Rouge at Westminster
Abbey, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,
Missouri at Dulwich Park – and many
more. There are also kids’ movies on show
at Dulwich Park and Hampton Court
Palace. The Luna Cinema uses state-of-
the-art screens, digital projectors and
bespoke sound equipment to provide a
cinema-quality experience, but with the
magic of being under the stars.
LONDON SOUTHEND
Take your pick from one of three bars
at the newly-opened Ravens Bar
& Restaurant (over 21s only), in the
former Ravens department store building
in Clifftown Road, Southend. Hungry? Tuck
into breakfast or lunch in the ground-floor
bar, or brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or
dinner in the first-floor restaurant. Choose
from the likes of Roast Cod, Pork Belly or
Miso-Glazed Duck before finishing off with
Milk Mousse or Rhubarb & Custard Tart.
LUXEMBOURG
If you like a view and have a head
for heights, then don’t miss a trip
on the city’s new architectural
landmark – the award-winning, beautiful,
glass Pfaffenthal lift. It took six years in
the making and is unique, designed
especially for its location. Free to use,
the lift connects the Pescatore park in
the city centre to the Pfaffenthal area at
the bottom of the Alzette valley. Open
to both pedestrians and cyclists, it allows
passengers to enjoy panoramic views
over the picturesque city 71 metres below.
Note, it closes for one day once a month
for maintenance: the next dates are 6th
August and 10th September.
LYON
See the world on a smaller scale at
Mini World Lyon, France’s largest
miniature park. Covering over 3,000
square metres, it consists of four different
worlds (town, country, mountains and,
new for this year, Mini Lyon) and is full
of amusing details, famous characters
and clever references to cartoons and
movies. In the mountains, for instance,
there’s snow, cable cars, skiers, and
even a Christmas market. Special lighting
recreates different times of the day and
night, and there are plenty of interactive
features, too.
