I mentioned this a while ago when the Spanish ladies rugby team were training in El Ejido.

The article here on the Euro Weekly News site has details of the upcoming international match against Scotland this coming weekend.

We held our first progressive whist event in Almerimar yesterday. 16 players learned how the game was organised and played. We had a very enjoyable time.

We will be playing again next Tuesday (21 January) starting at 4pm in the Pensioners Centre at the back of Porto Fino.

It is very much a mixed ability group so please do not be frightened to come along.

If you are interested in joining us please get in touch. I will then add you to the Whatsapp group for the events.

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.

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.

Irene from the tourist office has provided me with information about this painting exhibition in the port tower in December 2019 and January 2020.

Jeni P posted this to me via the Almerimar Today Facebook page recently.

Some of the regular golfers may not attend the event. As there is an official golf competition supporting Equinac that morning.

I picked this up of the ACEA Facebook earlier today.

I picked these posters up off Facebook. They contain details of Halloween night in "the square" this year. Being organised by the Junta Local and the federation of businesses in Almerimar.

We enjoyed a very pleasant 7 course taster menu at Taberna B Once last night. Like most events like this not every course suited every person.

My personal highlights were the home made paté, duck kebab with fruits, beef wellington and the dessert of small cherries with ice cream.

Not that long ago I spotted that Taberna B11 had a new chef working there. There was a photo of Juan plus photos of a number of items he had added to the menu there. They were on the Taberna B11 Facebook page.

Talking to friends about this I understand that the new chef has worked in a number of restaurants in Almerimar. In particular, a lot of people remember him as the chef in Gourmet (now MacGowans). They all said they liked the food he prepared.

As you can see from the photo above there is a taster menu event organised for Saturday 28 September. Starting at 9pm. 7 courses for 30 euros.

You can reserve your table at B11 (located in the street down the middle of Porto Fino).

I got this poster off Facebook. Looks like there is going to be a mass and a horse parade from Guardias Viejas to Almerimar this coming Saturday (24 August 2019).

Thanks to the La Voz de Almería site for pointing out this event. I have linked direct to the article here on the W Series ladies motor racing site for details in English.

Also, I did not know there was a motor racing circuit near Tabernas.

Further to the earlier article about the market last weekend. The photo above and the article here are from the Ideal site.

 Last night we ventured out in the evening in Almerimar. This is an unusual event for us recently.

We wandered through the market that was taking place behind Porto Fino. After that we went to the B11 bar/restaurant for dinner.

I picked up a copy of this flyer from the El Ejido Es Mi Prioridad Facebook page.

I believe that the beach rugby competition takes place on the Poniente (West) beach. Not far from the rugby pitch. looks like there is probably a concert on the rugby pitch afterwards.

Jacqui and I were away from Almerimar for most of last week. So we missed this year's pirates event.

You can read more about it here on the Ideal site. The article also has a photo and some video of the pirates.

The local council has now published a list of August events for Almerimar. I got these images off Facebook.

Read More to see the details on the other images.

The article here on the Almería 360 site has details of the regional government recognising the San Marcos event in April each year in El Ejido as a tourist event.

The article also provides a little bit of history about the event.
