Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Two men, 19 and 30 years old, have been arrested for the Mojacar shooting incident. The men are from Vera and Garrucha. It seems that the two men tried to gain access to Moma disco at about 4:30 am but were turned away because they were inebriated. One of them was so furious that he went back to his car, got out a small air shotgun and started blazing away at the bouncer and innocent Continue reading Two arrested for Mojacar shooting incident→

Madrid’s most famous disco goes bust

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Buddha del Mar, or as it was recently renamed, Oh! Madrid, has gone bust. It was the most famous nightclub in Madrid, a disco where the famous off the TV rubbed shoulders with the Real Madrid players. It was known for a while as the La Roja’s local, since the Real Madrid lot such as Guti or Sergio Ramos were there almost on a nightly basis. But high prices, a collapse in the Spanish economy, an Continue reading Madrid’s most famous disco goes bust→

In case you think illegal construction and “we’ll worry about the paperwork once it’s open” is just an Andalucian phenomenon…. Ecologists have denounced a small bar located in Madrid’s central Casa del Campo park for having turned itself into Madrid’s largest disco without bothering to ask for any permits. What should be a small chiringuito with a patio has turned into a massive disco with five bars, swimming pool, parking for 1,700 cars, outdoor stages, Continue reading Massive disco built in central Madrid without permits→

Don Juan nicked for pretending to be a Colonel (all the ladies like a soldier!)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

A don Juan in Seville has been detained at His Majesty’s pleasure for pretending to be a Colonel in the Spanish army. It seems the chap – a balding specimen who passed 40 several years ago- would go off to local discos in full military getup, together with a fake pistol, and then sidle up to the ladies, asking in a husky voice if they’d like a go on his weapon. Or words to that Continue reading Don Juan nicked for pretending to be a Colonel (all the ladies like a soldier!)→

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→

Mandala Complex, Mojacar Playa

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

Mandala is the old Pascha disco on Mojacar Playa, just before Playa El Cantal. It was brought last year by a company from Aguadulce that own a few discos, and they spent quite a bit of money doing it up. I usually don’t believe people when they say a million euros (it’s an easy figure to trot out), but in this case I can believe it. The interior is fantastic. We’d been there a few Continue reading Mandala Complex, Mojacar Playa→
