See the article here on the Typically Spanish site.
The article here on the Ideal site has some information about the new Tourist Board being set up for El Ejido (and therefore Almerimar).

While playing golf yesterday I was chatting to Lynda who has lost quite a bit of weight recently. We got around to discussing recipes and mentioned the recent Hairy Bikers tv show.
We discussed a Chilli Salad Bowl recipe from a recent programme. You can see the recipe here.
So last night I tried to recreate something similar with what we had in the house. We had some wraps but smaller ones so we had two per person. We also had some chilli sausages from Lidl.
Here is the attempt above after we had applied some guacamole and hummus but before we added some greek yoghurt (all shop bought from Mercadona unlike Marion who makes guacamole herself - she is doing well at losing weight as well by the way).
Even Mr President is doing better. He might even make his 13 stone target by the beginning of next month.
Things are a little quieter now. Not as many events taking place as we approach the end of the summer season.
I know some people are going down to Gula tonight to watch the live music. Jacqui and I are having a night in processing the cards from the Friday golf today.
Wind is getting up so it is pretty brezzy outside. At least it should cool the temperature a little.
Although the article here on the Think Spain site is about the whole of Spain Jacqui thinks it applies to Almerimar as well. She said that last night was one of the hottest she has ever remembered. Sadly it was just the temperature she was talking about.
Around 500 people took part in the rowing day in Almerimar last Saturday according to the article here on the Ideal site.
The event will be taking place close to the church from 6pm until 10pm tomorrow.

The article here on the Portal Ejido site has details of the winners of the Sunday cycling race plus a gallery with a few photos.
