I was in Mercadona today so I bought 5 litres of their "fresh milk". The use by date on it was 14 March 2019. Funnily enough that is the date that Mercadona re-opens after it closes this coming Saturday (23 February) at 3pm.
I understand that the fresh bread section of the shop is being relocated. I do not know what other changes might take place. I guess we will have to wait and see.
One of our readers, Jessica F, has asked us to advertise this.....
"Hi I am looking for a builder ideally English speaking to refit and tile bathroom would you be able to advertise this on the site"
If you have any recommendations please get in touch and I will pass the details on to Jessica.
One of our readers Judi S has tipped me off that work is underway refurbishing the Yachting Golf restaurant. The rumour is that it is going to reopen again sometime in the not too distant future.
Judi mentioned who she thinks might be taking over the place. However I will not publish details here in case the rumour is not true.
I picked up this poster off the Junta Local de Almerimar Facebook page.
I was wandering round Almerimar this morning taking some more photos for the then and now images on the Memorias de Almerimar Facebook page. At the same time I took a few photos of changes I have spotted.
The photo above is from close to the D'Bar. It is a view of part of the new duplex houses that are being built in that area.
As you can see from the photos above Almerimar is now a 2 dentist town. This new one is on the road from the golf course roundabout down to Mario's Bar.
It is a shame we are still a 0 post office town.
The final photo is what looks like a new garage being built next door to the nursery in Porto Fino. At the moment I have no idea what it is going to be used for. I guess time will tell.
UPDATED 15/2/19 I have been told by a reader of the site, Michael B, that the new place in Porto Fino is going to be a garage and an office. For the council gardeners who look after the gardens in Almerimar.
Sorry for not posting much recently. I have been very busy with golf competitions. Plus there has a load of other stuff I have been dealing with.
The work is continuing both inside and outside Mercadona. I will take some photos when I get a chance.
Another thing to say is that it has been very windy and pretty cold recently. So wrap up warm if you care coming over.
On the subject of golf, the new greens on the Classic are slowing down a bit but are still good. The other 18 greens are slow but playable. Hopefully they will be as good as the new ones by the time the 18 hole course re-opens again in September (it is due to close in May 2019 to replace the greens).
I had to pop down to Mercadona this morning. While there I spotted that they have started work already. There are building already doing stuff outside and inside the shop. The sign above now confirms when it will be closed. From 3pm on Saturday 23 February at 3pm through to Wednesday 13 March 2019. The shop re-opens on Thursday 14 March.
I guess we will have to go up to El Ejido for our fresh milk for a few weeks.
Looks like Mercadona are planning on getting rid of plastic bags according to the article here on the Euro Weekly News site.
I wonder if this will be implemented here before or after Mercadona closes for a couple of weeks around the end of this month.
