The Costa del Sol, with its long stretches of golden sand, is a haven for sunseekers. But nestled amongst the typical beaches of Torrox lies a rarity in southern Spain: Playas de las Dunas de Carraca, a beach featuring a beautiful landscape of sand dunes. Nestled between the El Morche and Torrox Costa beaches, it offers a unique beach experience.

While sand dunes are a common sight along the coastlines of the UK and Ireland, they're a rare find in Spain. Playas de las Dunas de Carraca is one of the few exceptions, offering a unique coastal experience in the region. These dunes, formed by wind-blown sand, create a mesmerizing backdrop to the beach, adding a touch of untamed nature to the sun-soaked scene.

The dunes themselves are a protected ecosystem, providing a habitat for various plants and small creatures that thrive in this specific environment. Visitors are encouraged to admire the dunes from designated walkways to help preserve this delicate natural beauty.

Beyond its ecological significance, Playas de las Dunas de Carraca offers a traditional beach experience. The soft sand is perfect for relaxing in the sun, while the calm waters of the Mediterranean provide a refreshing dip. The beach is relatively undeveloped, creating a more secluded and natural atmosphere compared to other beaches in the area.

So, if you're looking for a beach escape with a touch of the extraordinary, consider adding Playas de las Dunas de Carraca to your Costa del Sol itinerary. Remember, respect the protected dunes and enjoy the unique beauty this special beach has to offer.

Spain knows how to party, and the Spanish love football. So when they win a big tournament, well, you can imagine!

Some recent guests were fortunate enough to be in Casa Elana on the night of the Euro 24 finals, between England and Spain. They spent the evening in the main village square where they watched the game in Gareths Bar then enjoyed the party after the Spanish win, which went well into the early morning.

Our guests being Irish chose to support Spain, of course, and what a decision that turned out to be!

They sent us these photos and videos of the big night.

I've titled this blog post "Probably The Best Paella In Torrox" because I can't say for sure it's the best, as I've not tried them all, but it's certainly up there.

Although it was invented in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain, paella has become, to many, the national dish of Spain. Originally a farm worker's meal made with cheap local rice and whatever was found in the fields, it's now much more varied and has many different variations, with the more exotic versions becoming quite expensive.

I was first introduced to it on holidays to Benidorm in the 1980s, and it's been a favourite ever since. Whenever I'm in Spain (which is often!), I always make sure to try it out in various places. So far, the worst I ever had was in Mijas Pueblo, of all places. But the best? Well, I had that recently, in Torrox, of all places!

Everyone likes their paella served slightly differently. I like it well cooked with a little burnt base to give it a lovely bitter taste. I'm told this is the traditional way to serve it, but I've no idea if that's true.

When I was there in March 2024, that's exactly how it was served in Chiringuito Pepe Oro on Penoncillo Beach, Torrox.

This wasn't the first time there. We'd called in a few times when spending the day on Penoncillo Beach. It's an unpretentious chiringuito that serves large portions of extremely well-priced traditional Spanish dishes, along with all the usual European favourites. Best of all, as it should be with a proper chiringuito, it's right on the beach. Sit inside to avoid the heat in Summer (or cold winter), or sit right out the front, literally on the beach, with the sand between your toes.

They offer three basic versions of paella: meat, seafood or mixed (both meat and seafood). I've only had paella there once, so I can't say for sure, but I suspect the exact ingredients are whatever is available locally at the time. We went for mixed and had the usual mix of seafood with some lamb, chicken and pork. All were cooked to perfection, with the slightly burnt base I like.

As is customary with most places, there must be a minimum of two people sharing, and you need to order (and pay) at least 24 hours in advance. The cost for the mixed was €22 for both of us, or €11 per person. This is about the cheapest you'll find, and as I said, in my case, it was also about the best.

So, if you are ever in Torrox and want to eat some of the best paella you'll find, try Pepe Oro.

If you've ever wandered down from Torrox Pueblo to Torrox Costa, you've most likely noticed, about halfway down, an old ruined factory with a massive chimney rising up from it. If, like me, you've ever wondered what it was, do some digging on the internet, and you'll soon discover it's an old sugar factory. But this isn't just any old factory. It has a very long history, dating back almost 500 years.

Known as the San Rafael Sugar Factory, it stands as a testament to the town's rich industrial past and reflects the changing winds of ownership, technology, and economic forces that dominated this part of Spain in the previous centuries.

The factory's roots can be traced back to the 16th century, with documents mentioning its construction by the Morisco Melilla family as early as 1530. By the mid-1500's it was functional. However, a rebellion in 1569 led to its destruction.

The factory rose from the ashes in 1725, rebuilt and this time powered by water wheel technology.

Over the centuries, the factory's ownership changed hands. In the 18th century, figures like Miguel Gijón y León and businessman Tomás de Quilty y Valois took ownership. They implemented modernizations, including a new pre-industrial technology and a switch to coal as the energy source.

The 19th century saw another transformation under Martín Larios y Herreros's ownership. He funded a complete industrial overhaul, incorporating a steam engine while retaining the water wheel for grinding mills for some time.

The San Rafael Sugar Factory thrived for centuries, producing sugar from sugarcane. At its peak under the Larios family, the factory produced an impressive 220,000 kilograms of sugar annually. However, this era of prosperity ended in 1945, marking the closure of the factory.

The reasons for its decline are not entirely clear, but likely involved a combination of factors such as evolving market conditions and increased competition. Today, the San Rafael Sugar Factory stands in ruins, a reminder of Torrox's industrial past.

The local town hall had expressed interest in restoring the factory to highlight its historical significance, but no plan of action has yet been proposed or even discussed at a high level.

So, while its future remains uncertain, the San Rafael Sugar Factory continues to hold a significant place in the town's heritage.

This is another of those blog entries that relate more to other rental home owners, but stick with it, as there is some good advice for guests, too.

Many guests (and some owners!) don't realise that holiday home owners in Spain must pay income tax on their rental income. The amount depends on where the owner lives.

Contrary to popular belief, the passport held by the owner is irrelevant. It's all about where you live and pay the bulk of your taxes, commonly known as where you are a "tax resident."

Before continuing, it's important to clearly distinguish between where someone is a tax resident and what passport they hold.

You might hold an Irish passport but live full-time in the UK. In this case, you are a UK tax resident. So, as far as the EU is concerned, you are a "third country" resident.

(The EU breaks things down into three parts: The EU as a whole, the individual countries of the EU, and everyone else. Everyone else is referred to as a "Third Country".)

This is important to holiday rental owners. The amount of rental income tax you pay depends on where you are a tax resident. If you are a resident of an EU country, you pay 19% tax on your rental income. If you are a resident of a third country, you will pay 24%.

However, if you are an EU tax resident, you can deduct expenses such as cleaners, property maintenance, and so on. But if you are in a third country, you can't.

So yes, you read that right. If you are, for instance, a resident of the UK, a whopping 24% of your rental income will go to the Spanish government!

Top tip to guests: Rent your next holiday home from someone living in the EU; it'll most likely be cheaper).

How many owners declare their income? Hmm, that's an impossible question to answer. Anecdotally, it's not everyone or even the majority. But that is changing. From June this year, websites like Airbnb have to inform the authorities of every booking in every Spanish property made on their site. So even if the owners don't tell the authorities, the booking website will!

What's Changing?

Previously, owners had to declare their income and pay their taxes every quarter. This could be an expensive practice, as most will have used a professional to do the paperwork and submission, and they would usually charge around €100.

However, from the start of this year, you only need to make annual submissions. I forget the precise dates, but from memory, you must submit the previous year's income within 20 days of the new financial year starting.

So, for the 2024 financial year, which in Spain runs from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, you must submit and pay the tax due before Jan 20th 2025.

I understand you only have to submit the total income and expenditure (if applicable). You don't need to submit the dates. That said, you still have to submit the dates and guest details for every booking as they happen, but that's a different story!

This is great news, as it'll help reduce the cost of running a holiday rental home in Spain, which should be passed on to the guest.

I'm pleased to say Casa Elana has reduced the nightly rate accordingly.

Even though I am still a relative newbie to owning a rental home in Spain (I bought Casa Elana in 2022), I often get asked for advice on choosing the right house and getting it ready for guests. So here are my top tips for picking the right rental property and buying a home in Spain.

Location Location Location!

It's a cliche, and it's 100% true. But, the right location is not always as obvious as it seems.

Armed with a modest budget of, let's say, €100k, the first thing most do is scour Idealista for suitably priced apartments in all the usual Costa tourist traps: Marbella, Benidorm, Fuengirola, etc. Pretty soon, most discover that this budget doesn't get much in these areas; at best, you'll be looking at a one-bed studio. Why? because these are the popular places!

But price isn't the only reason to rule out these locations. Yes, everyone loves a bit of Benidorm, but it's fiercely competitive when it comes to holiday rentals. When times are good, things can be great, but in the quieter periods, you can find yourself in competition with hundreds of other hosts, who, nine times out of ten, will beat you in a race to be the cheapest.

There is another reason to look beyond the tourist traps, too. I'm not for one moment suggesting that only people who holiday in the popular Spanish resorts are trouble, but the harsh reality is that the more popular the resort, the more likely it is that, sooner or later, you are going to rent your holiday home to someone who is less than desirable. Or, god forbid, the dreaded stag party!

So, my first tip is to look beyond the popular resorts. You'll get way more houses for your money, have way less competition, and often have less troublesome guests.

Buy Once Buy Well

Once you've found the location, it's time to find the house. If you are already seriously considering buying a house in Spain, you'll already be well aware of the high taxes involved. Taxes range from 7% to 11% of the purchase price. Then, on top of that, you've got your legal fees.

Selling isn't much cheaper, either. You'll need to pay capital gain tax on any profit made, additional legal fees, and agent fees.

For these reasons, buying and selling houses in Spain is horribly expensive, so you need to make sure you get the right house the first time. It's pretty common for people to buy their dream home, only to then realise it's not so dreamy after all. They look into selling and buying somewhere else, only to discover that once the dust has settled on the sale, they've lost a huge chunk of money and end up with not much to spend on the new house.

So my top tip here is to buy the very best house you can afford the first time. If you have to stretch yourself, do it because it's often not financially possible to change a year or two later.

Size Matters But Quality Matters More

The quality of Spanish-built houses can vary vastly. Some can be massive and look amazing, but the gloss can hide structural issues and poor workmanship. And then you have the legality of many builds. It's a minefield.

If a village townhouse is your thing, make sure at least one entire length of the house gets the sun for at least a few hours a day. Otherwise, they can get very damp in Winter. In some of the narrow village streets, this can be a challenge. That said, dampness is always an issue in village townhouses, so don't be put off by a bit of faking paint.

Also, check that you will own the entire footprint of a house. In older villages, it's common for townhouses to end up with weird layouts, where the house next door might have a room that protrudes into your footprint or where the top floor of your house might be part of your neighbour's home. Sometimes, it's not always obvious when this happens, so be sure you check carefully.

If you are looking for a villa, check how thick the walls are. Some are built with only a single skin of Spanish brick, which means they can be costly to heat in Winter (yes, it gets cold in Spain in Winter, especially at night).

And always... ALWAYS... Get an excellent solicitor entirely independent of the selling agent, and have them do a very deep dive into the ownership and legality of any house you fall in love with. Legal issues with Spanish houses are rare and can often be fixed, but it always costs. So, buyer beware!

Know Your New House

Before buying Casa Elana, my wife and I stayed all over Spain looking for our perfect location. Most of the time, we used vacation rental homes. Occasionally, there would be an issue with the house, so we'd get in touch with the owner, who very often came back with, "Oh, I don't know, I've not spent much time in the house myself."

Simple things like handling a temperamental boiler, where the water stop tap is, what's the quietest bedroom to sleep in during a fiesta, and so on are things you only learn after spending a prolonged period in the house. And it's vital that you know them. Your guests expect it from you.

I was fortunate that after buying Casa Elana, I was able to stay there permanently for a few months, getting it ready for my family and guests. So once I started renting it out, I knew the house well. If you cannot do this, only consider renting once you've spent a few holidays there.

And Finally...

Equip The House For Living In

Harking back to the time my wife and I spent in Airbnbs when looking for our own place in the sun, we soon realised it was easy to spot the holiday homes that were primarily used by the owners, with the rental business just a sideline, and those that were bought and set up purely for renting.

The latter were always sparsely equipped, often with only the absolute basics. I'm talking about not even proper coffee-making facilities, a BBQ, or enough pots and pans in the kitchen to cook a meal.

Whereas those used regularly by the owners were always well-equipped and set up. You knew it was an actual home, not just a business.

So, my final top tip for those looking to buy a vacation rental house in Spain is to don't be cheap when it comes to equipping it. Even if you never plan to spend a night in it yourself, make sure your guests have everything they need to make your holiday rental business their perfect holiday home.

UPDATE: Airbnb has informed me that the new camera policy is under review. It's expected that cameras like those at Casa Elana, which are covered in the listing and the guests are able to turn off, will be allowed. The updated policy is expected to be rolled out soon.

In light of this, we're going to remain on Airbnb, but to comply with the policy as it is now (no cameras) we have arranged for someone to visit the house before an Airbnb guest checks in to remove the cameras. They'll then return after the guest checks out to replace them.

This has, of course, added an additional cost to Airbnb rentals, so we've had to increase the cleaning charge accordingly.

The additional cost can be avoided by booking direct here..

Airbnb has just announced that, from the end of April 2024, cameras inside any property listed on the platform will be banned, even if they are clearly marked, and guests can turn them off.

Read more to learn why they've done this and how things will change at Casa Elana.

Over the last few years, the problem of hidden cameras in holiday rentals has become big news. Now, whether this is a widespread issue is a discussion for another day. But as the term "Airbnb" has become synonymous with holiday rental property, the words "Airbnb" and "hidden camera" have featured in many headlines, which has been a bit of a PR nightmare for the company.

To address this, Airbnb has announced that from April 30th, 2024, ALL cameras inside a rental listed on their site will be banned. Previously, they were allowed in communal areas.

The notion that this will deter creepy hosts from using hidden cameras in their properties is naive. Filming guests has always been illegal, so another rule isn't going to stop these people. It might make people feel safer, but it won't actually make a difference. Indeed, it's very likely to make matters worse, as those hosts who feel they need to use cameras for legitimate reasons will remove their visible cameras and replace them with hidden ones.

Nonetheless, the new rule did present a problem for Casa Elana. As this website clearly shows, we have cameras in the house. So, if we wanted to continue taking bookings from Airbnb, we'd have to remove them.

Before we go on, it's really, really important to say at this point that the cameras are clearly sign-posted, and guests are advised to turn them off when they arrive and turn them back on when they leave. The cameras do not work when guests are in the house. Guests can physically unplug them. And if that isn't enough (as some cameras have batteries), they can close the privacy covers.

Why Do We Have Cameras?

Casa Elana is not just a holiday rental. We didn't buy it to make money from rentals. It's our (Elaine & Steve's) home in Spain. We use it ourselves for large portions of the year. Indeed, I'm (Steve) here now right now.

When we're not using it, we open it up to guests. When guests are not using it, it is empty. When it's empty, cleaners and maintenance people look after it for us. For these reasons, we have cameras to keep an eye on things.

The way we manage the cameras in the house is entirely transparent and above board. Guests know they are there before they book, they know how to turn them off, and they understand why we have them. So far, no one has had a single issue.

However, due to the new Airbnb rules, we'd either have to remove them or stop taking Airbnb bookings. We're unhappy about removing them, as we feel it presents too big of a security risk when the house is empty, so we've decided to stop accepting Airbnb bookings.

We appreciate that this will be upsetting for our Airbnb guests, some of whom have become regulars over the last couple of years, but for our peace of mind, it's the only thing we can do.

We are still happy to take bookings from our guests, and we might list Casa Elana on an alternative platform, like booking.com. But for now, if you want to stay in Casa Elana after April 30th, you must book directly with us on this website.

If you are an Airbnb guest booked to stay after April 30th, we'll contact you to cancel your booking. We're sorry about this, but Airbnb has given us no choice.

Torrox is generally a very safe place. Down on the Costa, there is a small amount of low-level crime, and out in the campo (countryside), there is the odd report of dodgy-looking characters hanging around fancy houses. But in the village, where Casa Elana is located, there is almost zero crime of any description. (Something worth noting here is the presence of the local Torrox police. Unlike some countries, they are always around, visible, helpful, and friendly.)

But it never hurts to be cautious, so Casa Elana now has an all-singing, all-dancing Alarm system.

It's not just for the (rare) occasions the house is empty but also for the additional peace of mind for guests, both overnight when they are tucked up in bed asleep and when they go out, leaving the house unoccupied.

There are motion sensors on all floors and open/close sensors on all the doors. There's a keypad near the door to arm and disarm the system (we'll give you a pin-code) and a big loud siren on the front of the house. It's all connected to a monitoring service that will call the police if the alarm is activated and not confirmed as a false alarm.

In addition, it has a complete battery backup in the event of a power failure and mobile internet in the event that the house Wi-Fi goes down.

Guests' use of the alarm is entirely optional. We'll chat to you about it before you arrive, and if you want to use it, we'll give you a temporary code for the keypad that will work for the duration of your stay. You can then arm and disarm the system when you enter and leave the house. You can also put the system into "home" mode, mainly for use overnight when the door sensors are active but not the motion sensors.

Or, if guests don't want to use the alarm, we can disarm the system remotely before check-in, and reactivate it after guests check-out.

It must be stressed that Torrox is not a high-risk area. As said at the top, there is little to no crime in the village, so the addition of the alarm system to Casa Elana should not be seen as an indication of a problem. It's merely an additional way to make our guests comfortable and safe during their stay.

Travelling to Spain with your pet is a subject that crops up a lot on the various online forums and groups. One of the most common questions is, can I take my small dog or cat in the cabin with me on a flight?

Getting accurate answers to that question is not the easiest, as while many flight operators advertise they allow the carrying of pets, they don't make the hard facts easy to find. And when they do, they often change them! Plus, you have to take into account that with a lot of flights, the airline you book with isn't always the one you travel with, so it can be a grey area as to whose rules apply.

A great example of this is Iberia. They advertise that you can travel with your small dog or cat in the cabin with certain conditions in place. But, if you want to travel from, say, Dublin to Madrid, the flight might be operated by Aer Lingus, who operate a no animals policy. So, suffice it to say. It can be confusing!

And it was just such a situation that led me to do some research on travelling that exact route with one of my dogs, Ollie the Chorkie*. This is what I discovered.

Note: Most of the info below is taken from various websites, but crucially, I contacted the companies in question and had everything confirmed, either in writing (email) or in person (phone call.)

This information was correct as of February 2024. It might change at a later date, so do your own research.

The Flight

Iberia is a Spanish airline that flies all over the globe. They have a lot of routes into Spain from hundreds of cities around the world. Personally, I was interested in the Dublin to Malaga route. Sadly, though, there is no direct flight. But are are several flights a day from Dublin to Madrid. And from Madrid, it's a stunning 3hr train ride to Malaga.

Iberia will allow you to travel in the cabin with your small dog or cat (or fish or tortoise!) with the following restrictions...

• They must be in a suitable waterproof bottomed carrier measuring no more than 45x35x25.
• The combined weight of the pet and the carrier must not exceed 8 kg.
• Dogs must not be of a certain type or breed, namely "snub-nosed" or dangerous breeds.
• They must have all their paperwork and proof of various vaccinations.
• You can not sit in an emergency exit seat.
• Your pet can not be removed from the carrier for the duration of the flight
• You can not book a seat for your pet. They must go under the seat in front or on your lap.

You can't book your pet onto a flight when booking a seat online. So, the process is to book it all with the Iberia customer service team over the phone. Or first book your seat online, then add on your pet by calling the customer service team afterwards.

On average, the cost of adding a pet to the flight is about €60.

This doesn't just apply to the Dublin to Madrid flight. It was confirmed to me that all flights operated by Iberia will allow pets. So it's very likely you'll be able to fly from your local (ish) airport to the airport you want in Spain, or one with good train connections.

This facility is available on all flights operated by Iberia. If your flight is operated by another airline, you might be restricted by their rules. So, in the case of my trip (Dublin to Madrid), as long as I book a flight operated by Iberia, I can travel with my dog. But, if it's operated by Aer Lingus (as about 30% of the flights are), it's questionable whether the dog will be permitted.

In light of this, I'd suggest always booking a flight operated by Iberia.

The Train

Renfe is the national train carrier in Spain. I have no experience using it, but all I've ever heard from those who do is good things. The service is reliable, fast, clean and affordable.

Renfe advertises 12 trains a day from Madrid to Malaga at an average cost of €40 per person. The journey takes about 2h 45m. Small pets are allowed, with much the same conditions as Iberia and will typically add about €10 to the price. There is no need to pre-book (although it's advised). What I haven't been able to ascertain, though, is the booking process. Whether you can book the pet at the same time as yourself or if, like Iberia, you need to do that afterwards. So you'll need to do your research on this.

The buses in Spain are generally excellent in this regard. Alsa, my local bus operator when I'm in Spain, has an excellent app through which you can book yourself a seat and add a pet. So I assume Renfe are much the same.

And so, in a nutshell, that's that. OK, it might not be possible for you to travel to and from your preferred airports, but with the Iberia network of routes, it's more than likely you'll be able to get close, with only a train trip at the Spanish end of the journey to get you to where you need to be.

You can check out Iberia flights here. And Renfe trains here.

Good luck, and enjoy taking your small dog or cat (or fish or tortoise!) to Spain on your next trip.

*Chorkie: A Yorkshire Terrier Chihuahua cross.

Casa Elana is based on the minor road that runs through the village, as such, from time to time, you can hear the traffic. Also, contrary to what many think, Southern Spain can get cold in Winter. Previously, this could prove a challenge for Casa Elana, but not any more; in December, we had new high-tech windows and French doors installed. And boy, do they ever make a difference!

The old windows and French doors were beautiful. Made of traditional wood, they perfectly matched the rustic feel of the house. But they were old. The glass was only a few mm thick and offered zero sound and heat insulation.

The new ones are incredible. Granted, they are not fancy to look at. They're plain white, after all, but what they lack in looks they make up for in performance.

After much research and advice, we went for double-glazed Climalit Plantatherm 4 windows throughout. Those words might mean nothing to most, but you need to know that they offer maximum soundproofing, heat insulation (for the Winter) and heat repellent (for the Summer).

Without boring you senseless, the cavity in the glass is filled with heavy gases, the effect of this is massive soundproofing. I was sceptical about how effective this would be, but I was amazed. Open the windows, and you get the glorious sound of Spanish life all around you. Close them, and you get silence. They really are that good. In Torrox they empty the bins nightly, and you used to sometimes get woken by the bin lorry as it trundles through the village. Not anymore.

As well as soundproofing, the windows have a special coating to keep the heat in during the colder months and the sun's heat out in Summer. They don't block the sunlight. The house is still flooded with light during the day. They only remove the heat from the light. Honestly, I've no idea how they do this. But I've tested it, and it works.

This means you put the heating on in Winter, and the whole house is toasty in no time. And in Summer, you don't need to put all the blinds down to block out the sun.

Overall, the house is now so much more comfortable and quiet. It's now so quiet!

In the scheme of things, Torrox is a small place. It has a coastal area with three fantastic beaches, and a traditional hillside white-washed village called Torrox Pueblo. But still, when ranked alongside the whole of Spain, with all it has to offer, it's not big or particularly well known.

This makes its inclusion in the Kyero top ten most popular locations to buy a holiday home in Spain pretty impressive. Even better, it makes it to No. 7!

Kyero is one of the biggest property websites in Spain, and the data that makes up the top ten list is pulled from all the estate agents who use the site. So, while it can be argued that these lists should be taken with the tiniest pinch of salt, there is no denying that the list is grounded in solid data.

Of course, those who have discovered Torrox know it's one of the best places to live and holiday. But it's nice to see Torrox getting the notice it deserves.

Go Torrox!

For the last few weeks Casa Elana has been closed to guests so we could do some regular maintenance work and give the whole house a fresh coat of white paint, ready for the Winter season.

Along with painting, we also completely stripped and replastered the dining room. This is the first room as you enter the house, and while the original half tiled walls were... ok... We figured it needed freshening up.

So two days removing old Spanish tiles and another couple applying new Spanish plaster and paint, and it's now all fresh and bright and ready for our first guests of the season.

The next big job is new windows and doors throughout the entire house. This will make it toasty in winter and a lot quieter! This work is scheduled for December.

As the sun sets on another Summer season in Torrox, it was a busy period for Casa Elana, with only a few days empty for the entire period. And our guests loved the house, and Torrox!

After buying the house in early 2022 and putting everything into getting it ready for guests and so we (hosts Elaine and Steve) were super happy that the house was booked solid for Summer 2023, and got such amazing feedback.

The house is now closed up for a few weeks so we can carry out some maintenance and give the whole house a fresh lick of paint, ready for the coming winter Season.
