Just a quick update about the couple of groups being organised to play cards in Almerimar. One regularly and one on an ad-hoc basis.

The progressive whist group is having it's 3rd regular Tuesday afternoon event later today. The events are organised via an Almerimar Progressive Whist WhatsApp group I set up.

The WhatsApp group I set up for experienced bridge players has now showed a bit of progress. A group of 4 people organised their own ad-hoc get together in Almerimar late last week. There are probably not enough people here to have regular events scheduled. However hopefully groups of 4 players will choose to meet from time to time on an ad-hoc basis.

 In the next few days there will be a Galleon on show in Almerimar.

UPDATED - the pictures in the Gallery have been given names describing their location.

Earlier today Jacqui and I spent an hour and a half wandering around the centre of town seeing what changes we could spot.

There are 22 photos from the marina and the surrounding area here in the Gallery. They show businesses that are opening, closing and having sales. Have a look at the pictures and post a question on our Facebook page and ask if you want more details of what is going on.

We were out and about in the marina late this morning. After which we had lunch in the golf clubhouse.

We had a very nice meal. Not cheap but very enjoyable. They do a menu del día lunch on Monday to Friday for 15 euros including a drink.

Today we had a goats cheese salad and wok vegetables as shared starters. Followed by very good burgers each. They normally come with chips. However Jacqui swapped the chips for some salad.

We washed it all down with a couple of beers to start. Plus a bottle of house red ribera del duero.

Very enjoyable indeed.

Shame that I will be too busy on Saturday night.

Apologies for not posting much for a while. This week is the week where the golfers play the annual Woodsly Cup competition. So I have been a little busy.

We are due to start playing at around 09:00 tomorrow.

We have had misty mornings here the last couple of days. Hopefully that will not happen tomorrow.

Take a look here to a  trip back in time for Almerimar Today.

This example is from 2009. There are many more archives of the site there that I did not know existed until today.

The waybackmachine looks like an awesome site.

The province of ALmería is being represented at a tourism exhibition in Belfast this weekend. The Euro Weekly News site has details here.
