Jacqui and I wandered out for a spot of early evening tea in town after Friday golf yesterday. On the way down into town we spotted a couple of new businesses due to open soon.
The top two photos are from a couple of doors down from Mercadona. Looks like a music and dance studio is opening soon. The third photo is from behind "the square". Looks like there is a cheap ladies clothes shop opening soon.
Please see the attached message from Christina G.....
"Hi, just a reminder about the municipal and european elections this Sunday. The polling stations are situated in the municipal office, the hall at the rear of the pensioner’s club and the state school, situated near the puerto marina golf complex. Anyone registered on the padron, or municipal register has a right to vote. The polling stations open at 9 am and close at 8 pm. I will continue to represent the foreign owners on the junta local for the PP party if the party gains sufficient votes!"
The 8th edition of the El Ejido Tower Race is scheduled for Saturday 8 June 2019. There are 3 separate races and the event is part of the 2019 world circuit of tower running.
The 3 parts are:
- Race for firemen (28 floors and 547 steps)
- Open vertical race (also 28 floors and 547 steps)
- 6 km race
There are some more details (in Spanish) here on the town hall sports website.
If you want to watch the event it starts at 17:30 near the big tower on the main street in El Ejido.
The article here on the Ideal site has some details of sports facilities being promised by the various parties in the upcoming local elections.

I had to drive up to El Ejido a couple of times today. I was also driving around Almerimar for various bits and pieces today.
While doing this I noticed loads of adverts for the various political parties. Having checked I now know that the local elections are taking place a week on Sunday. On 26 May 2019.
Thanks to Ilyas S for sharing these photos of a dead turtle on the nature reserve beach to our Facebook page earlier today.
The finding of the dead turtle has been reported to the appropriate authorities.
Today we played the Master (1&2) course for the last time until the middle of September 2019. The course is now going to be closed from next week until the middle of September. So we will be playing twice around the Classic (Master 3) course throughout the summer. While the greens on the Master (1&2) course are being renewed.
I think that the course has been in great condition recently as it has been set up for a major Spanish national juniors competition last week. The greens were so hard and fast they were almost unplayable today. How the under 16 junior winner scored a gross 66 shots around the course last Saturday in his final round is a miracle in my eyes.
It will be interesting to see what it is like when it re-opens.
You can see some more photos of the course in the Gallery.
Rob from La Envía asked me to post this.
