Someone has been vandalising the tennis courts in Las Palomas. Local residents tell me it has been a regular occurrence for some time now.

Castle Work Resumes

After a full year standing idle, the renovation works have restarted at La Herradura Castle. The work includes a dig by archaeologists from the School of Arabic Studies in Granada.

Giselle Lebrun, Artist

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! This talented lady also writes stories and poetry. If you missed the exhibition, check out Giselle’s work at www.galeriadelsur.net

Hideaway Update

Have you been watching the X Factor? Well now you can be part of the fun. Just stop by The Hideaway in La Herradura where they show the program every weekend, and you can enter their X Factor drawer.

Andrés Segovia

Although briefly mentioned in the La Herradura section, we feel the 25th anniversary of the Andrés Segovia Classical Guitar Competition at the Centro Civico in La Herradura is definitely worth a mention
