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 />
