Here is something for people to do on Saturday and Sunday: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1066664150378119/

I found out about it due the story here on the Euro Weekly News site.

What a great idea. Well done to the organisers.

I spotted this poster around town earlier today.

I received this information from a reader, Nick P:

"Our Wednesday quiz at the Espigon resumes this Wednesday, please could you promote this event on your web site, it starts at 8.00 for 8.30."

I( was in the tourist office this morning doing stuff to do with the council. While there I asked for details of upcoming events. I was given the posters above.

The photo above was from the road outside Mercadona.

You can see more details about the Clásica de Almería 2020 here on their website. It looks like they come in along the coast from Guardias Viejas, go past Mercadona then leave up the hill.

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

Shame that I will be too busy on Saturday night.

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).
