The Centro Civico saw an exhibition during November by Giselle Lebrun whose exciting images are created using acrylic colours. Although mainly landscapes, she also paints concrete!

Carrington Builds
by David Darby •
Had a quick chat with Bob Coates from Carrington Builders and Decorators and asked if there was anything he wanted me to impart to our readers… and to be honest neither he nor I could think of much more to say about this brilliant team of highly skilled builders and decorators. Let’s face it, how can you improve on a formula and work ethic that has been good for over 30 years in the UK and six years here!
Meson Magic
by David Darby •
The Meson in the town hall square in Almuñécar is just great. If you haven’t tried one of their brochetas, you haven’t lived! I didn’t realise that they even made metal spikes that long, except for fighting, and that you could fit so much tasty food onto just one! Don’t go thinking I’m talking about a simple pinchito here.
