Just spotted the article here on the town hall website about the local bus services. It was published a couple of weeks ago.

Read More for a Google translation of the article.

Corrected - 18 April 2019 - name of restaurant changed to singular from plural.

Further to the story here earlier today. I have found this photo of the replacement for La Barbera on the Almerimar Vivelo Facebook page. The new place is called La Entina. The photo is courtesy of David Garcia.

The latest news on the Almerimar restaurant merry-go-round is that La Barbera has re-opened under a new name. I saw some photos of it on Facebook the other day. However I cannot remember where I saw them.

From the photos it looked like it might be specialising in fish dishes. As the decoration of the place suggested that.

Next time I am in that part of town I will take a few photos and find out the name of the place.

Also, I have just spotted that Tiburón is opening for the summer on 1 May 2019.

UPDATED 17/04/19: One of our readers has said they still happen once a month on Sundays in Adra and Roquetas. Not in Almerimar.

One of our readers has asked whether the Almerimar monthly markets still take place or not. I have no idea. Can anyone help?

Further to the earlier article here. As you can see from the photo above from the Spanish petanca association work is underway building the pavilion for a round of  the upcoming world championships. They are being held here from 2-5 May 2019.

Thanks to Jacqui who spotted this on Facebook.....

"# Almería will host a #country contest with 14 "Foodtrucks" of various styles for three days: April 26,27 and 28 at the Rambla Federico García Lorca.
They will offer dishes of Cuban, Portuguese, Mexican, Italian, Japanese, American, French, Peruvian, Argentinean, Thai, Belgian, German, Brazilian and Spanish origin !!!"

I think I might go along to see this.

For years the town hall has been trying to get Correos to set up a post office in Almerimar. Without success.

However I have read something on the Almerimar Vivelo Facebook page saying there might be a new service being set up in the tourist office in Almerimar. Correos have launched a package sending and pick up service called Citipaq. You can read about it here on the Correo site. With a more detailed website here in Spain.

I understand that the Junta Local for Almerimar is trying to get this service set up here in Almerimar. Fingers crossed it goes ahead.

Yesterday a group of 27 people from the Friday Golf Society (FGS) and the El Ejido Bowls Club (EEBC) visited the Refugios in Almería. These are the tunnels that people used to hide from being bombed in the Spanish civil war. Afterwards 28 of us had a menu del día lunch at B Once.

We went by coach from Almerimar. We were dropped off near the Refugios with around 25 minutes to spare before the visit started. So at the request of one of the people on the visit we went on a walk for a few minutes to find the statue of John Lennon.

I will not go into detail about the visit as this would spoil it for people going there in the future. However I can say that the trip was a success. As was the menu del día lunch afterwards at B Once.
