Agenda for concerts provided by the Juventudes Musicales for the month of December: Christmas choirs and classical music performances.
Trip to Sierra Nevada
by Nicola Westby •
The Ed spoke about this project last month, so I decided to take my family along on one of their activities- a 2-hour walk at the back of Herradura.
Wonky World- December
by David Darby •
Baby Bounce It has often been said that when it’s your time to die, you’re doomed, no matter what. Conversely, if it’s not… well, let’s just say that circumstances can sometimes be in your favour to prevent even what appears to be certain death. The story begins in Paris, where an 18-month-old baby girl was…
Compulsory Vaccination
by Editor •
An outbreak of measles in the city of Granada has re-opened the debate over whether vaccinations should be optional or obligatory, where children are concerne
Farewell El Ancla!
by Nicola Westby •

Tax in Installments
by Dave Nichols •
Even more electioneering. The Ayuntamiento has announced that it will now accept payment of local taxes in twelve ‘easy installments.’ Puts you in mind of one of those financing commercials, doesn’t it?
Square Improvements
by Dave Nichols •
Mayor has announced a ‘re-beautification’ of the square around the old City Hall, up in the Old Town.
Gas Pipeline
by Dave Nichols •
On the subject of pipelines, we have also been treated to another major announcement from our Mayor regarding improvements to our infrastructure.
Dam Problems
by Dave Nichols •
Let’s start with one of our favourites– the Rules Dam. Believe it or not, the subject of exactly how to distribute the water from this magnificent (and hugely expensive) edifice is now on the local political table. And, as you might expect, local politics is, to say the least, extremely local.
