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.

August has been a busy month for me. A trip to Galicia, and the resulting death threats from the 16 year olds with a Galician (Galizian?) grandfather from Manchester and Birmingham. Lots of traffic, lots of work, lots of play and not much time to go out and enjoy a decent meal. Not that you [...]

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.

Hmm… How to put this?
Well, it’s dreadful. Soggy, over cooked food 100% of the time. Service is atrocious. Last time I was in there two of the staff had a slanging match between themselves in the middle of the restaurant. Food takes ages, which as it tastes as if it’s been heated up in a [...]

The construction of 600 homes (including 400 council houses, or VPOs as they’re known in Turre) that were going next to the cementery (next to Fuentemora, or Rickys Bar as you might know it) has been suspended “pending the fixing of a few small problems with the plan” according to the Junta.
