Mark has kindly given me the menus for Christmas and New Year at the fabulous Los Laureles. So pin your reading ears back, take note, and book early or be disappointed:
Christmas 2009 Menu – €25
Andrés Segovia
by David Darby •
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
Indigo Interiors
by David Darby •
Why should you pop into Indigo Interiors in La Herradura at the earliest opportunity? Simple, to pick up some Sandtex Masonary paint to give the outside of the old homestead a damned good seeing to!
Casa Técnica
by David Darby •
The rather nice people at Casa Técnica in Salobreña have asked me to give a mention to their automatic pool covers. How could I refuse?
Not that interesting you may think, but if you do own a pool, this can be a very sound investment.
Falafel
by Editor •
This corner cafeteria, tucked away down a street opposite the Supersol supermarket, offers something very different; oriental pastries, cakes and sweetmeats.
Órgiva Properties
by Vanessa Bosch •
Well, I have to say that the minute that I stepped into Órgiva Properties, a welcoming smile from the staff caught me up in the spirit of this friendly local agency.
Camac in Órgiva
by Vanessa Bosch •
Who in the Alpujarra or the coast hasn’t heard about Camac Shop in Orgiva? Even myself used to come to spend the weekend around away from the coast in the search of fresh air and I used to do my shopping there to bring home my favourite English products.
Gourmet Bakery
by Mette Owens •
If you haven’t already discovered Gourmet Bakery in town, you are definitely missing out. The Gourmet Bakery opened in Almuñécar on June 26th and according to the owners, Marie del Carmen and Armin, business is very good and they are delighted to be here.
Law Abiding
by David Darby •
Hopefully you wont require the services of our José Luis Sanchez Parejo, who works from his office in La Herradura, because if you do, it probably means you have some sort of legal problem. You’ve guessed it, he’s a particularly good lawyer, and very friendly chap as well.
Juventudes Musicales
by David Darby •
November schedule for Juventudes Musicales in Almuñécar and La Herradura.
Charity Bridge Tournament
by Mette Owens •
It’s heart-warming to hear when businesses in the community get together to help a great and worthy cause. This is what happened on Oct. 21st when The Language Tree and Alcoholum joined forces to host and support a Charity Bridge Tournament organized by the Costa Bridge Club
Back again
by Marianne Lindahl •
Nice to be back here again. We have been enjoying a month of temperatures above 30 degrees, which is quite enjoyable when you’re on the beach, but uncomfortable for gardening or playing golf.
The Danes Celebrate
by Mette Owens •
There was cause for celebration in the Danish community on Oct. 10th, when a late second-half goal by Jakob Poulsen gave Denmark a 1-0 win over Sweden in Copenhagen and secured our place in the World Cup finals. It was a priceless victory. Way to go Denmark!
Selling Your Property
by Maria Teresa Velasco •
At this time of economical unrest, many people are trying to sell their second homes and in Spain (as in most places) the procedure is complicated. You should be aware of the legal considerations and tax issues to avoid complications later on.
Kennelling
by PerrosSi •
Is it me or is everyone leaving Spain? I have had so many enquiries over the last few months regarding long term kennelling and quite a few horror stories also.
