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 HEATHROW
Britain’s biggest comedian Michael
McIntyre is going global with his Big
World Tour which lands at The O2
arena from 5th-14th October. In the UK,
he has performed three arena tours,
including a record 28 times at The O2
where he was awarded the keys to the
venue along with Prince, Take That and
One Direction. Around the world, Michael
has previously sold out arenas in New
Zealand, Australia and Dubai and holds
the record for the biggest-selling comedy
shows in South Africa and Norway. The
last series of his Big Show series on BBC1
averaged over 6.5 million viewers.
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.
Tuck into breakfast or lunch in the ground-
floor bar, or brunch, lunch, afternoon tea
or dinner in the first-floor restaurant. The
menu ranges from Eggs Benedict with
a Toasted Muffin, Ham and Hollandaise
Sauce, and Moules Mariniere with French
Fries for brunch or lunch, to the likes of
Roast Cod, Pork Belly or Miso-Glazed
Duck before finishing off with Apple
Crumble Torte or Sticky Toffee Pudding.
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 every first Monday of the
month for maintenance, reopening the
following day at 6am.
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.
