Apologies for not posting anything here recently. I have been very busy with lots of stuff going on.
Looking at the yr.no weather forecast for here today we are looking at almost gale force winds. It says they will reach 14 m/s. Which is just over 50 kph.
Great for the windsurfers but not so good for the golfers.
I got the photo above from the Almerimar Junta Local Facebook page. As you can see it is the time of year where the council start spraying to try to reduce the number of mossies here.
Here is a Google translation of the text that was with the image (with the text tidied up a bit):
Just a quick photo of the work on the outside of Mercadona earlier today.
Normally I get my warnings about bank holidays when I visit Mercadona and see signs saying what days they are closed. As Mercadona is now closed and not opening again until 14 March I did not get a warning from there about Andalucia Day.
Luckily a friend asked me recently whether it was a bank holiday this coming Thursday. I had a look on the internet and found out it is a regional bank holiday for Andalucia. So watch out for other businesses being closed on Thursday 28 February 2019. As well as Mercadona of course.
PS I wonder if the small Coriván supermarket in the back of Porto Fino will get much more business in the next couple of weeks.
UPDATED: I assume this is the play area close to Espigon as they say it will be almost 1000 square metres.
I picked this up of the El Ejido Es Mi Prioridad Facebook page. The image above is from the page and there is a press release about the upcoming changes to the Levante park area of Almerimar here: https://elejido.es/…/Comun…/textos/190221_Junta_Gobierno.doc.

Just a quick plug.......
If you would like to see what this part of the town (and many other parts of Almerimar) looked like in the past take a look at the Memorias de Almerimar Facebook page.
You do not have to be a member of Facebook to see the page as it is a public page. Enjoy......
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.....
