I watched some of this early this morning from always breezy Malaga, which is the main city in the Andalucia region of Spain. It is a southern region and Malaga is right on the Mediterranean in the heart of the Costa del Sol, an enormously popular holiday resort.
It is to Brits, Germans and other Europeans including Spaniards what Florida is to Canadians, and I have been to several of the little islands like Ibiza and Magaluf on holiday and they are beautiful, sunny and very free spirited. All kinds of beaches from regular to topless to nudist abound.
Golf has flourished all thanks to Seve and his legacy and that country's stable of world class pros led by Miguel Jimenez, Sergio etal..
The first round has just finished.
England's Robert Rock , Jamie Elson, Rikard Karlberg all share the 1st round lead with Swede Johan Edfors at the Open de Andalucía de Golf in Malaga.
They all posted -5 65 to be one in front of 5 golfers led by Scotland's former Open Champion Paul Lawrie, and Spain's Raul Quiros.
Another 14 are at -3, 67... Here is the leaderboard.
