The video shows the West Beach as the busier of the two beaches. We started at the end of the beach where the old campsite used to be and cycled along the beach, past the rugby pitch to the end by the Music Bars and the entrance to Dársena 1.

Yesterday when I was playing beach volleyball we drove past the venue for the Creamfields and Ole! Festivals on the 9th and 15th of August.

It is certainly a bigger lay out than the previous concerts that they have had there!

The summer continues with the organised sports activities and music, all of which can be found in the Events Calendar

Main events of interest are:

• 24th - Hermin Soul Music at Guardia Viejas
• 25th - Dúo Fathi Yakoub y Mathieu Saqlio at Guardia Viejas
• 25th - Diego Cruz Blues & Jazz at Brisamar
• 26th and 27th - 5 a side Beach Football
• 26th - Caldereria Flamenco at Brisamar

Tonight is the official opening of La Barbera from 10.30pm onwards (well that is the current plan but this is Spain) and we have been invited by Paco so will be popping along later.

The celebrations for Virgen del Carmen continue until Wednesday, and this year we had another ‘no show’ by the Beatles Tribute band as Sands suggested after her Saturday morning gossip.

Met up with a very pleasant lady, Mary, in the Mercadona this am, who had had rather an interesting phone-call, and felt it would be useful to forewarn others! It seems electricity supply here in Almerimar is being opened up for competition, and that Endessa are making moves to try and ensure that they keep their customers. She was phoned by someone who spoke English, said they were from Endessa offering her 2% discount, and already had all her banking details. So far so good, but then the English stopped, and she was left listening to a Spanish recording that asked questions including expecting confirmation of her account details. SO be prepared that this may happen to us all. I think it all sounds above board, but I agree that it’s not pleasant being expected to give personal information over the phone when you don’t really understand what you are being asked for, and can’t confirm that the conversation is secure, or even where the caller is from. My advice is that it’s not worth going through anything that you are uncomfortable with for a mere 2%.
