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.

 Thanks to Christina G for this information about events in the area for this month (July 2019).

Christina G has been in touch with the following information....

There has been a change in the use of some of the council owned facilities on the ground floor of Porto Fino.

The town hall office that used to be in the back of the building near the pensioners centre has moved. The town hall office is now located inside the tourist office at the front of the building.

I understand that the old town hall office is to be used as a study area.

A reader, Julie S, has asked the following....

"Hi, we are coming out to our holiday home in Almerimar in a couple of weeks with my 80 year old mother. She had a fall some time ago and never really fully recovered. I was wondering if you might be able to let us know if there are any wheelchair hire/scooter hire places in or around the Almerimar area. We will have a car so can travel to the hire place. Thanks"

If you can help with information about this please contact me using the contact form on the site. Or you can wait until this article goes on to the Facebook page and add a comment there.
