Why Are You So Rude?
by Nicola Westby •
It is amazing that you can be so rude without a single swear word. You can be rude without even saying a word. You can use swear words and not be rude. You can be rude and not even realise you are being rude. How complicated! For what reason are people rude? Sometimes it is…
Viva Almuñécar!
by Marianne Lindahl •
It’s nice to be back in good old Almuñécar. Our club has started its activities with mingling, talks, walks and golf. The event of the month was the inauguration of the Velilla car park. What a show! There was something for everyone: music, flamenco, sports, activities for children, fireworks and a fantastic cavalcade of colourful…
You’ll Never Walk Alone
by Wolfgang K Piller MD •
The last fortnight of October was surprisingly quiet in German politics, except that the immigrant bashing is ongoing. Political heavy weights are wading into the debate now, but not adding substance to it. I hope I shall be Spanish enough for the Spanish once they start. After all I am an immigrant (from the right…
Unfinished Building Projects
by Maria Teresa Velasco •
This month we take a look at bank liability in court cases regarding unfinished building projects. When you buy a resale property it is quite easy to check that the building and the construction quality correspond to the specifications in the property description.

If our microbial partners were merely fellow travellers with no effects on our health, their invisible…

When Cheap is Expensive
by PerrosSi •
Lovely, lovely weather! Having our yearly kennel overhaul before winter kicks in. Heating working, painted all the houses, put down new sand and fixed any holes in the fence. We replaced a whole section of fencing and built a wall. I was sat on a breezeblock rendering the wall, in the sun, having a moment.…
Novemeber in the USA
by Arlene & Dave Nichols •
November is the month of stuff…stuffing for the traditional Thanksgiving turkey, being ‘stuffed’ (after eating said turkey along with all the trimmings), looking ahead for ‘stuff’ to buy for holiday presents and questioning just how much ‘stuff’ you need? November is also the month of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City – held…
Granada’s Science Park
by Duncan Inglis •
We sent Duncan Inglis up to investigate the Science Park in the city of Granada – he came back with a grin and plenty to tell
