| Mecca in a bridge desert |
Fuengirola in southern Spain is a bridge mecca for Europeans. All Europeans, that is, except the Spanish themselves. For them it is a bridge desert. And the nearest oasis is 100 kilometers away

| Fuengirola Bridge Project |
If you live in or near
FUENGIROLA
To enable aged and infirm bridge players to play competitive bridge
when they are no longer able to visit a club
AND
To enable Spaniards of all ages to learn and play duplicate bridge.
Whether at school - or elderly/disabled and confined to their homes
It is NEVER too soon or too late to be able ro enjoy the pleasures of playing bridge
Explanation:
In a nutshell, it is a version of a simultaneous competition. A "mobile" bridge teacher visits individuals in their own homes and provides a prepared series of boards to play at their own speed in a relaxed environment. The visiting teacher will then bid and play three of the hands on each board. He will also record the player`s score for each board.
Over a period of two months, the results are then compared to those obtained by players in other locations participating in the scheme. Not only can the individuals get a genuinely fair result, but those results will enable them to be given a club rating which more fairly reflects their standard than those based on more traditional methods of classification.
