Sit back my children and allow me to regale you with a tale of intrigue, friendship, backhanders and corruption, as it appears many of you don’t know about it.
During the end of summer, a story broke about how the Junta (which has been controlled since the transition to democracy unopposed by the PSOE party, and [...]
Blimey. For only 15€ you can signup for a furniture restoration class at Turre town hall (Starting 3rd November), which will teach you how to polish up old gems. Wonder if it works on the wife? Sorry.

Lots of traffic, lots of work, lots of play and not much time to go out and enjoy a decent meal. Not that you [...]
[Read full post]Strange. The last few months have seen a number of my old “favourite” restaurants reopen, either with the same owners, old format, or new owners, old format. And Orsoca restaurant in Turre is just the latest to arise from the ashes.
I last reviewed Orsoca last year, when it was without doubt one of the worse [...]
Hmm… How to put this?
