There has been a mixed response to the<br />

dry weather we have had in the area. As<br />

usual the farmers say we are in desperate<br />

need of rain, but the rest of us have enjoyed<br />

a remarkable autumn, but no doubt<br />

this will all change now the winter months<br />

are here.<br />

There appears to be more happening on<br />

the social scene since MABS NW Murcia<br />

was started by Cecelia Coulson, with live<br />

entertainment now being organised every<br />

other month. The December Christmas<br />

Party should be a brilliant night with the<br />

soulful Barrington entertaining us for the<br />

evening at the restaurant at the sanctuary<br />

near Calasparra. This will be a great night,<br />

so get your tickets early (see the poster<br />

on page ?).<br />

Tickets for the ABBA Tribute night organised<br />

for 9 th November sold out really quickly<br />

and again this should be a good night.<br />

Let’s have a few more nights like these as<br />

it is a good way to get together without<br />

costing too much. Most of us still struggle<br />

to keep up with the Spanish hours when it<br />

comes to going out and prefer to eat and<br />

go out earlier and are usually ready to go<br />

home by midnight or 1pm!<br />

Moratalla is offering everyone the chance<br />

to sample different tapas through its<br />

“Tapas Route II Moratalla.” until 27 th<br />

November. This initiative is an opportunity<br />

to enjoy Moratalla cuisine from various<br />

establishments participating in this route.<br />

For just 2€, local restaurateurs will provide<br />

the public with a special tapa and a drink.<br />

All participants who have completed the<br />

route properly and delivered the information<br />

t o the Office of Tourism Moratalla, will<br />

be entered in to a raffle.<br />

There are very few ‘Brit’ businesses in<br />

Northwest Murcia, but one that has survived<br />

the hard times is Cosas y Cosas in<br />

Cehegin. This shop is situated opposite<br />

Mercadona so is easy to find and more<br />

importantly it is easy to park. There is a<br />

large swap library where you can exchange<br />

books for 1€, a good selection of cards and<br />

gifts and of course the all-important good<br />

selection of British food. If you are looking<br />

for Christmas cards, calendars and diaries,<br />

call in to the shop which is open 10-2pm<br />

Monday to Saturday.<br />

If you are looking to get away for the<br />

Christmas or New Year break, give Casa<br />

Pedro Barrera a try. They can cater for<br />

groups of up to ten people in their fantastic<br />

luxury accommodation with full board.<br />

See their advert on page ? or call Martyn<br />

or Denise on 968 972 972 or 687 118 450.<br />
