Remember the Wurzels and the Cider song? Well, here’s the Andalucian version. For those of you who don’t pick up on the subtle nuancies of his accent, “El Koala” is from deep Andalucia. Gotta love that Malaga accent. Talking about his attempts to build a corra (corral,...

The Almerimar “make as much noise as you can” party….

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:46:56 +0000

Rumour -no idea if it’s true- reaches me of an (English) bar in Almerimar who has suffered for the last few years by having a rich and important man’s holiday apartment upstairs. When Mr Big is away, no problem, when Mr Big is on holiday, at the first sound of trouble lots of Local...

Personal loans to companies

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:01:26 +0000

Neat! Up to now, if you owned more than 5% of a company and lent it money, any interest charged on that loan would be taxed on your general IRPF at amounts of up to 43%. But, tax law 11/2009, just approved, changes this and backdates the change to the 1st of January 2009, which is useful. So [...]

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:44:09 +0000

Spectrum FM seem to be proud that they have a man called John Gaunt, who has something to do with the UK Sun newspaper, on air. (I’m not sure of the details). A number of people have asked me how he’s going down in the Levante. I’ve held a little, informal survey on how many...

Cantoria releases plan to legalise 47 illegal homes

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:28:05 +0000

AUAN says that Cantoria has published a change to its urban plan which will allow 47 homes in the village to become legal. However, 3,8 million euros will have to be raised from current and future owners to make it legal, which seems harsh. Cantoria illegal homes legalised 47 down, 5953 to...

Pizzeria Sam’z, Los Gallardos

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:47:23 +0000

PIZZA? In Los Gallardos? Are we mad? Has the world lost all coherence? Los Gallardos is a rich village. A smart village. A clean village, and an orderly one. But it is not the cuisine centre of the world, it is a village where peanut butter is viewed as suspicious foreign muck. Pizza is something...

Bar Juventud, Los Gallardos

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:29:42 +0000

In my youth, Bar Juventud was the “other bar”. As people who lived on the “Crespo” side of the street, going into Juventud was akin to a Madrid supporter sneaking into a Barça pub. Only to be attempted wearing a large hat when noone was around. Which was a pity as it always...
