Feria Gastronómica
by Nicola Westby •
Well it came and was fantastic. On the 11, 12th and 13th of June in Majuelo Park in Almuñécar, the Gastronomic Fair took place. I took a little wander down with my family and some friends to spend a warm Saturday afternoon passing a few hours sampling some of the very best dishes, the local…

Windsurf La Herradura
by David Darby •
Stopping off at Windsurf La Herradura and pretending I’m still all sporty and fit is always a treat, and on a recent visit I was lucky enough to have a nice long chat with Louis Schraven, who has run the business since 1979.
Jeannot
by David Darby •
It is true that Jeannot on the Paseo in La Herradura does serve some of the finest fish dishes available in the area, but what I love about the place is not just the variety of food available, but the variety of people you meet or see there.

No Licence for Disco
by Editor •
Good news for the long-suffering neighbours of the Aquatropic water park – a licence for the discotheque has been refused. And good news for the users of the waterpark as the licence for the installations has been granted for a further 15 years.
Blue Zone Attrition Extends
by Editor •
Amazingly, and exhasperatingly, the Town Hall intends to extend the 11-to-11 Blue Zones to La Galera (Taramay). The reason why this is so controversial is because on this road leading to the beach Hotel Playacálida and Playa Pozuelo (Iguana) there are no shops or offices – just residential housing.
Simply Unbelievable!
by Editor •
In a fit of what can only be described as barking lunacy, the Town Hall decided to close the underground car park under the municipal market…
