Consulate Open Day

The British Consulate in Málaga and the Pension, Benefit and Healthcare Team are holding an open event in Nerja. It will take place on Wednesday, May 19th and offer advice on some of the issues that matter most to British residents.

The Most for Your Money

Wise Move To Spain’s Nick Westby has lots of good advice for saving money in Spain. His clients have saved thousands of euros using specialist currency exchange companies for a better exchange rate, compared to their own banks. As well as a better rate, they also usually transfer your funds for free.

Summer – by Ella Umney

Finally the dreary winter has disappeared and the summer has started to warm us all up again and put a smile on our faces. So I thought what better subject to write about than the beautiful weather that has finally returned.

Zarcillo

All you lovers of good food and fine wines are in for a special treat with this place. Situated on the Paseo de la Esplanada in Motril, Álvaro and Manuel have managed to marry tradition and modernity to create a spectacular restaurant.

Olivares, Nerja

Olivares has opened a brand new shop on Calle Chaparil 2, in Nerja. I took myself along to their opening to have a look at the wide range of international goods available. With products from Germany, Scandinavia, South America and Britain, there was no shortage of choice.

Constru-Pisci

Now the weather is beginning to warm up, no doubt you will soon be needing a dip in the pool to cool yourself down, but don’t be caught out by finding your pool isn’t quite up to scratch. Whether it’s a broken pump or filter, or possibly just a few chemicals, make sure you check it out before the heat really cranks up.

Think Aircon!

Aircon in the car not working to 100% capacity? Need aircon installed in your home? Does your aircon or refrigeration system need servicing or repair? Don’t tell me, I bet you haven’t even thought about any of the above yet. Like me, you’re having a beer and thinking ‘my underpants aren’t attached to my privates yet… I’ll give it another month and get it sorted then.’

Stabbed Councillor

Do you remember, about five years ago, that we reported on a farmer who stabbed the Councillor for Agriculture, José Rodríguez Jaime alias El Chavo? Well, his case has just come up and he has finally been brought before the judge.

Tarmac Sentry

Next time you are driving along the country roads of the Alpujarra, spare a thought for Antonio Mingorance Gutiérrez, whose untiring work to maintain the network over the last 47 years (on 24hour call out) is worthy of recognition.
