It is with deep regret that Elizabeth’s family informs the Gazette of the passing of our dearest sister Liz on the 9th June 2010.

It has to be said, there is a distinct lack of news in the La Herradura area for this issue. It doesn’t help of course, that I am now languishing in Almuñécar, and therefore not getting all the little snippets that I used to obtain on a nearly daily basis.
Emergency Training Exercise
by David Darby •
Did anybody notice that the N-340 between La Herradura and Maro for most of a day early in June? Well, they were apparently doing a training exercise…
San Nicolás Roadworks
by David Darby •
The residents of Urbanization San Nicolas are suffering with the ongoing road works, which at times may lead to your finding the normal entrance to San Nicolas off the N-340 completely closed.
Starfish Project
by David Darby •
If you don’t already know about the Starfish Project, which started in La Herradura in March this year, here is a little bit more information for you.
Gaviotas and Serbia
by David Darby •
Back on the 5th of June, representatives from Las Gaviotas School met at the Civic Centre with a group of representatives from the Teachers Association of Leskovac (Serbia).
Ventura Flamenco
by David Darby •
Quite a few people have mentioned to me just how much they have enjoyed the Flamenco evenings at La Ventura in Almuñécar.
Well now, it’s going to be bigger and better! With the patio to the rear of the premises having had a stage installed, there will now be live Flamenco music and dance every Thursday and Sunday from 20.30h.
Father’s Day Laureles
by David Darby •
Sunday June 20th is Father’s Day, and to celebrate, Mark is creating a five course menu for just €15!
So don’t let the old fella down by missing out this year, book early and make this Father’s Day a special one for the dad in your life.
You can also catch the Los Laureles team at the Feria Gastronomica where you can sample some of the fantastic dishes available in this special Almuñécar restaurant. They will be at their stall daily on 11th, 12th and 13th June.
It’s Gastronomy Time
by David Darby •
It’s June, and that means it is once again time for the Feria Gastromónica (Gastronomic Fair), in the Majuelo Park in Almuñécar during the weekend of 11th, 12th and 13th.
Those of you who have been to this event before will no doubt be paying another visit, and if this is one of the annual ferias you have not yet visited, then you are in for a treat.
Road Cleared!
by David Darby •
It took two months to sort out, but at last traffic started to move between Punta de la Mona and La Herradura along the beach road. Shortly after 11am one morning the barriers were removed and traffic, once again, started to flow on this important local route connecting the Punta to the main village.
