I would guess that more than 1000 people, mostly seniors, from the Nordic countries spend from 2-8 months in Almuñécar every year, enjoying the tropical climate, healthy food, good wine and friendly atmosphere that the town has to offer.

Have you seen the advert for Tandem Paragliding in the hard copy of The Seaside Gazette? It looks to be a fantastic experience and we already have one Gazette guy who has had a flight as a gift from his wife and another, very excited, Gazette Ed who is looking forward to his go.
Well, if you’re struggling over what to get your wife, husband or even difficult teenager, how about an experience that will remain with them forever.

Plantyflor – Florist in Almuñécar
by David Darby •

Stand-Up Stan’s View – Just a Bit of Fun!
by David Darby •
Rajoy has dyed hair on top and a grey beard, so the top of his head is 35 years old, while his chin is at least 72 years old.
Rubalcaba is completely bald with a grey beard and therefore looks like his head is on upside-down.
Winner = Painted Roof. Loser = Mr. Potato Head.
