Chill out at the ice bar

If, like me the sizzling temperatures are starting to get to you, and you are fed up with getting home from work, showering, getting ready to go out then feeling like another shower after ten minutes, then try a trip to the ice bar in Benalmadena Marina. Boals Ice Bar is the first ice bar on the Costa del Sol, where everything is made of ice, including the bar, the walls and the glasses. Situated in the marina area, visitors are provided with gloves, socks and coats on the way in, and this is the most unusual late night bar you will ever find. Inspired by the Finnish ice hotels, this is a fabulous place to chill out – quite literally. The ice stools and seats are covered to stop you sticking to them, (good to know you won´t rip your skin off on the way out), and the drinks are served cold, very cold. Subtle lighting and lively music add to the unique ambience - try the chilled vodka which is a real treat and made me come over all Russian. The only downside is that if you go in summer, relax for a few hours in the cold, then walk back outside, it feels even bloody hotter! You have been warned.
