January 12th, 2010Almerimar Hotel Review
January 11th, 2010It is always good to see positive reviews and information being posted on the Internet about Almerimar, so I thought I would re post this Almerimar Hotel Review that I came across on the offeroasis.co.uk site, as both the hotel and the resort get a thumbs up:
This wonderful Spanish destination is lucky enough to have [...]
Angry Almerimar Sky
December 31st, 2009It has been wet, windy and cold all day here in Almerimar, not at all the weather we signed up for or exect living in Spain! It is forecast to get even windier tonight, with some reports saying it could be a Force 10.
Anyway, thought I would be sensible and make sure everything was put [...]
Recession in Spain, what Recession?
December 21st, 2009If New Years Eve is anything to go by there is evidence that here in Almerimar the recession has been overtaken by a bout of madness …….. or has it!
Last year the AR Hotel in Almerimar charged what many thought was a lot of money for their New Years Eve celebrations. At 137.50€ you got [...]
Spain Sunsets
December 18th, 2009Without doubt we get some amazing sunsets here in Almerimar. During the summer the sun sets late, and behind the mountains, while in the winter it is much earlier and seems to drop away into the mediterranean …. you feel like you should be able to hear the sizzle as the sun hits the water.
During [...]
Almerimar Hotel
December 6th, 2009Earlier in the year I took some photos for the AR Hotel in Almerimar for a project that for one reason or another didn’t get off the ground. Looking back I am not sure that it even got as far as the run way to be honest, but that is no concern of mine …… [...]
40€ For Two New Bike Tyres (Fitted)
August 10th, 2009While we were off last week we did a fair bit of cycling together. Generally to get an ice cream I admit, bit for me cycling is pretty much the only physical activity I can do these days, so having punctured a tyre one morning and found that the rear tyre was not only pretty [...]
Moon Desktop Photo
August 3rd, 2009Just to prove that it isn’t always the sunshine that shines in the blue skys over Almerimar, this Desktop Photo is of the moon! It was taken at around 8.50pm!

Cranes Desktop Photo
July 27th, 2009Always liked this photo. It was taken very early one morning when the mist was level with our balcony and all we could see as we looked out over the marina were these cranes, which at the time were been used on the construction of Porto Fino here in Almerimar. That certainly ages the photograph, [...]
Where Are The Blue Flags In Almerimar?
July 22nd, 2009You know how you walk past somewhere without actually noticing something, or you talk about something for ages and you eventually realise that you don’t actually know what it is that you thought you knew?
Well earlier today I was having a chat about the Blue Flags of Almerimar over coffee and a tostada in Cafe [...]

Almerimar Chiringuitos Update
June 21st, 2009I have written before about how ugly I think the new Chiringuitos in Almerimar are and the Forum recently had news that they had been ‘handed over‘ officially which in no way means they are ready to open!
As you will see from the photos below some are still far from completed! For the record there [...]
Satellite Fixed By Absolute Satellites
June 12th, 2009Just had Gary round from Absolute Satellites round to look at one of out satellite feeds. Following the recent high winds we lost the signal to the receiver in Sands room.
Gary came round (I did some basic testing first honest) and soon figured out that we were getting no signal i.e. the cable was [...]

We have decided to stop the Monthly FREE Meal Competition for a number of reasons:
