Menopause support Costa del Sol

In March, women on the Costa del Sol who are dealing with the menopause are invited to attend a free one hour seminar in Marbella or Estepona to find out about natural hormone replacement therapy and how it can help to treat the symptoms of menopause.

We are delighted to be working with the Long Life Clinic and La Chispa Magazine to present these useful seminars. They will be presented by Dr. Jean Garant Mendoza, a qualified Doctor and a specialist on hormones and longevity. Dr. Garant is one of the only medical practitioners in Spain to be offering Bioidentical hormones for the treatment of the symptoms of the menopause and he’s passionate about sharing his knowledge with women looking for an alternative to conventional HRT.

The seminars will be perfect for women currently experiencing the menopause or their families who want to learn about the alternative treatments to conventional HRT which are free from side-effects. They would also be suitable for women approaching menopause age who are looking for ways to deal with it when they start experiencing symptoms. It can be a daunting and distressing part of a woman’s life, so it’s best to have all the information you can!

Georgina recommends … Kyoto Japanese Restaurant

I love Japanese food, particularly sushi and have been delighted to see more Japanese restaurants popping up on the Costa del Sol. However, for me most of the restaurants here are prohibitively expensive and feel like a real rip-off so I don’t like to go there. A few months ago we were recommended Kyoto Japanese Restaurant in central Marbella by a friend and we haven’t looked back since. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable for sushi, so it’s well worth a try. One thing you have to be prepared for though is a total lack of atmosphere as it’s normally empty and pretty ropey service, but in my opinion the food more than makes up for it.

Georgina recommends … Gorki Marbella

Gorki Marbella is just down the road from where we live and we think it’s a lovely place to have a good glass of wine in a refined wine bar atmosphere. They have an excellent selection of wines at reasonable prices and delicious food as well. This is a chain with other wine bars in Malaga, Seville, Cordoba and Madrid. Interestingly it started life as a deli offering people the option to sample the produce and they still have a deli part of the bar where you can buy some of the things on offer.

Georgina recommends …. La Taberna del Pintxo

If you’re bored of always ordering the same things and would like to widen your tapas horizons, I can recommend the busy and fun Taberna del Pintxo. As well as serving traditional cold tapas at the bar, in the evening from around 9pm they start to bring round trays of delicious nibbles for you to try. Tapas is charged by counting the cocktail sticks at the end of the evening, each type of cocktail stick being worth a different amount. It’s a lovely way to eat and the place has a great atmosphere too.

Here’s the lowdown:
