Just a quick reminder that the Virgen del Carmen mass starts near the port tower at 8pm tonight. This will be followed by the parading of the statue around the marina.

The article here on the Diario de Almería site has details of what our local 3 times windsurfing world champion, Víctor Fernández, is up to this year.

The article here on the Euro Weekly News site has details of a lunar eclipse taking place tonight.

Jacqui and I have been away for a few days. So I am only just catching up on the local news.

The article here on the town hall website is from last Friday. It is about the services on the beaches this year.

Thanks to Sara G for these photos from early this week. Sorry for the delay in publishing them. Jacqui and I had to go back to the UK for a few days earlier this week. Here is what Sara had to say about the photos.....

"ALMERIMAR has gone off its trolley! -

Cultura El Ejido has a pdf file here on their site with details of events for this month.

I got this poster off Facebook. I know there is a golf competition taking place the same weekend as this regata. If I remember rightly there are also other sports events taking place. As well as the statue being paraded around the marina.

This morning I was popping down to the clubhouse and calling in to Mercadona to buy some bits and pieces. While down there I called in to the tourism office to see where the new local council office is now located (it is a couple of desks on the right just inside the entrance to the tourist office).

As usual I was listening to SI FM radio (93.3 mhz) while driving around. This is a local Spanish radio station for the Almería area that plays a good mix of Spanish and international music. Of various genres depending on the time of day.

As I was listening there was an advert for the Pepe Aguado restaurant in Ugíjar. This is somewhere Jacqui and I frequent from time to time when we go for a day out in the Alpujarras.

You can see a little more information about day trips to the Alpujarras and this restaurant here on the site. You can also see an article here from 2015 about when we stayed for a few days in the Alpujarras.
