I picked this up off Facebook.
Fancy watching some ladies rugby training in advance of an international match against Scotland?
UPDATED: The poster says that the international match is in Almería. In the Juan Rojas stadium at 12:00 on Sunday 19 January. It is in small writing on the poster.
Be careful not to park on any yellow lines if you are parking in the marina,
A reader, Derek H, spotted the police handing out parking tickets yesterday. Probably in advance of the Kings parade.
Please note that other people have told me in the recent past that the police are clamping down of parking in the marina.
You have been warned.....
Jacqui McM has asked us to post a reminder about this event....
One of our readers, Jacqui McM has asked me to advertise this event.....
"It's that time of year again when we are going to be advertising the Burns Supper. It will be 25 euros per ticket. 4 course meal with dancing. Wine, toasts and free raffle included in the price. January 25th at El Espigon. Thanks."
Please get in touch if you would like to attend. I will then pass your details on to Jacqui.
Just a reminder that the Kings will be arriving in the port on SUNDAY 5 January 2020 (CORRECTED) at around 16:00. They will then parade around the marina.
I believe that most of the shops including Mercadona will be closed on Monday 6 January as it is a bank holiday. So get your shopping done today.
The story here on the Eye On Spain site provides some hostory about the tradition of eating 12 grapes at the end of the year. An interesting read.
The La Plaza Facebook page says that the restaurant has updated it's opening hours earlier today. So I guess it is open again....
Thanks to a reader Gary S for these photos of some of the damage caused by the wind in the last couple of days.
These photos were taken not far from the beach hotel earlier today.
Congratulations to all the winners in the Spanish Seniors Professional golf competition at Almerimar. In particular Jesus Maria ARRUTI INCHAUSTI, the winner of the seniors competition with a score of -4 over 36 holes. Plus Jose Antonio SALGADO MARTINEZ, the winner of the super seniors competition with -2 over 36 holes.
Hopefully the weather will be more friendly next year. So we can see a full 54 hole competition.
