Sunday sunset
After a couple of beautifully sunny days it’s back to rain, but it was a very good weekend and wonderful just to sit by the shore and watch the sun go down. The sound of the sea lapping onto the shore is very relaxing and the stresses and strains of everyday life just seem to evaporate, leaving you refreshed and …
A week in Blighty
Arriving at Gatwick airport in the dead of night, one of the perils of using budget airlines, it was certainly cool but it didn’t seem overly cold. After waiting for over an hour staring at empty baggage conveyers – either the staff had gone home or there was a go-slow, never found out which – we were on our way …
A Welcome Break
Today was a welcome break from the almost incessant rain, the sky clearing and the sun putting its hat on. Plenty of people emerged from the warmth and comfort of their homes to make the most of it, all hoping it will continue until the New Year celebrations, damp fireworks being somewhat overrated. The new promenade at El Chucho is …
The Nativity Scene
The exhibition Hall in calle Cristo (calle Almirante Ferrandis/Post office street) is currently home to the municipal Nativity Scene and it will be on show from now until January 6th 2010. The opening times are from 17:30 until 20:00. The display is the legacy of Carmen Rodríguez, a málagueño by birth but long time resident of Nerja. The scene was …
Tapika’s
A new tapas bar in town, so what better excuse to stop off for a lunchtime drink. ‘Tapika’s’ is located on calle Chaparil, Nerja, just round the corner from calle Antonio Millón and two doors up from one of the best tapas bars in town, ‘Sevillano’, so it’s got some pretty tough competition to contend with. The premises were formerly …
Asociación Nerjeña de Arte
Currently on at the Sala Mercado in calle San Miguel (Plaza de la Ermita, by the taxi rank) is the third Asociación Nerjeña de Arte exhibition, so time to pop in and have a look. The first thing you see upon entering is this large and rather splendid canvas of the Balcón de Europa. It would be a bit difficult …
The Andrea Inn
The Andrea Inn on calle Jaén, Nerja, changed hands at the end of October and has just reopened, so what better excuse to check it out!
Light a Light
Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice once again celebrates Light a Light in memory of our loved ones on Friday 11th December at 6.00 p.m. at the Hospice Centre. Light a Light is a special tribute to a loved one when a light and candle is dedicated to them for a minimum donation of €10. The Hospice building is decorated with lights …
Sol Searching
There’s a new book on the shelves, a sort of modern girl’s guide to the Costa del Sol if you like, an enlightening yet light-hearted account of a young girl relocating to Spain to start a new life and maybe, if all goes well, turn a dream into reality. But first, a bit of background on the author. There are …
