The Almería gay scene
A loyal reader writes: As a ‘soon to be resident’ I wonder if you have any local knowledge of gay friendly places in the Vera/Mojacar area & whether you would consider an article on this. To be clear I don’t just mean ubiquitous nude beach cruising activities! Always happy to oblige, although my personal knowledge on the Almería gay scene is a spot limited. Enter Pablo (AKA P.A.T.), my party loving token homosexual employee (we Continue reading The Almería gay scene
Started the new look ‘n’ feel for the site…
Whatcha think? I’ve redeveloped the top of the page and tried to maximise the real estate space available. You’ve got quick access to Random Post & the search function, and I’ve made the text larger and easier to read (font is now Tahoma). Got rid of a load of codejunk that was slowing down page loading.

So as the advert says, don’t drink and Continue reading Extra breath tests for drivers over Christmas
La Mojonera still guarded by anti riot Guardia
La Mojonera continues to be under a heavy police presence as Guardia Civil units maintain a very public profile. The alledged murderer is expected to appear in front of magistrates today, and as such the Guardia fear more protests if they let up – and local community leaders warn that if justice is not seen to be impartial and immediate “trouble may continue”. Meanwhile, yesterday in the Madrid parliment, Rafael Hernando (P.P. for Almería) demanded Continue reading La Mojonera still guarded by anti riot Guardia
