Welcome to our 17th Anniversary edition which, fittingly, is devoted to the Media.

Join us on a journey that begins with The Evolution of the Media, encapsulates the Rise of the Conspiracy Theory as a result of our mistrust in the information we are being presented, and finishes with a focus on the Future of Print Media.

En route, we examine the explosion of Social Media, its creators, celebrity posting and top bloggers. This issue is also full of lightning-hot lifestyle content. Put your pedal to the metal with the mercurial Mercedes S 65 AMG Coupé, fit into a 2nd Skin with some stylish ladies couture and take in Cannes in its film festival month.

Cool down with suggested locations for wild swimming in and around Marbella. Elsewhere, we talk with Villas & Fincas, the experts on high-end inland property, witness the stunning range of designs available from Shutters in Spain and gain an insight into the scope of projects being undertaken by Blackshaw Interior Design.

Discover a dynamic children’s play complex completed by Cape Reed in Dubai, learn about the many advantages conferred by hyperbaric oxygen therapy, check out the diversity and quality of products on offer at new Marbella store, Yorkshire Linen Prestige, and enjoy a visit to the fun surrounds of the Marbella Club Kids Club.

Make sure to relax and enjoy life with recommended restaurants Sollo, La Famieke and Zozoï this month, and try some in vogue vintages from artisan winemaker, Tomàs Cuisiné of Costers del Segre fame.

¡Salud!
