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.....

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.
Just a note to say that the water is off in the Calle Alcor area of Almerimar at the moment. Apparently there are people working in the street near D´Bar sorting something out.
Thanks to Irene from the tourist office for sending me this programme of Easter events for 2019.
If you click on the image then click on the image that appears you can see a bigger version of it.
I spotted a link to the video here on Facebook on the sports institute part of the town hall website. It is about the upcoming second edition of the El Ejido challenge. The video is of the event last year. It looks like it would be fun to watch it next Saturday.
The article here on the town hall website has details of this event in the El Ejido town hall square this coming Saturday.
