Mijas now Downtown Basildon

I was reading today that a man was shot in what looks like a contract killing in Mijas Southern Spain. For those that don't know it Mijas is one of the white villages and although popular with tourists, as it is just up from some of the major towns on the coast, seems an unlikely place for this sort of crime. Unfortunately it seems some English (Essex actually) drugs rings are fighting it out in a turf war on the Costa Del Sol (another example of an unwanted British export). It seems this lad was wanted by police here in connection with the attempted murder of an Essex "Businessman" three years ago and was hiding out in Spain.
Anyway I am off to visit my friends who live just down the hill from here in July and it seems sunburn may not be the only thing you have to dodge this time.
