Explanation of a Denuncia

A denuncio is a report made, usually to the police, of an offence or a failure. I had to make a denounce because I wanted a Spanish Driving licence.

The authorities wanted both parts of my British licence, but as most British can tell you, the second part of the licence became redundant in July and was replaced by an on-line system. I did not have my paper copy.

The only way was to report the “loss” of my licence as a denuncio.

You can make a denuncia to the Policia Nacional by phone and in English by phoning 902 102112.

You then have 48 hours to call in to the Policia Nacional station of your choice to sign it. Obviously take your passport and NIE!

For those living in Velez Malaga or Torre del Mar the police station is the same building you get your NIE and Residencia from, but you use a little door on the side of the building next to the garage doors. There is no sign!

You go in the door and there is a waiting room on the right.

There is a glass partition and the door is locked.

There is a sign on the door in Spanish. It says do not knock!

After waiting for five or ten minutes the police officer will take you in, scrutinise your documents and issue the denuncio. It’s simple when you know how!

Mountain Bike Club Sought

Landline fault 104

When our line went down not long ago we called 104. Yes the response is rapid.  I listen for  key words, I.e  Epanol pulsar 1, Inglais 2.  You can press any of these and then ask for.  Quero habla persona en Inglais por favor. I have always managed to speak to an English speaking person without problems.                  You may have had a slight problem because of it being holiday time.  I don’t think its because you were using a mobile.                                 Gina

Lovely Puppies Abandoned      

Can you give one a home?

These puppies (there are six in all) are very friendly and will drink well and like the tinned food we have offered them as well. We must find homes for them as we just cannot add to the pets we have already – don’t ask how many! Size? –  Difficult to tell exactly but they will be medium to large dogs and have clearly been handled and we had no problem picking them up. We live in Caleta de Velez but can see you anywhere reasonable if you would like to see them. For more information please email roland dot gillett at gmail dot com or telephone 606459894. Thank you,

DoctorLaptop’s New Years Greetings

I would like to thank all my current and future clients, and wish all DigamExtra readers a happy and prosperous New Year. This begins my 6th year servicing Costa del Sol.

This past year we saw many changes: Win 8.1 became Win 10, Digame-Torrox became DigamExtra. New versions of Android and OSX were released, DoctorLaptop moved to a new central Nerja shop, many internet providers increased their speeds and Spain introduced some new data laws. All told we weathered the storm well. Remember to visit my blog and subscribe to stay on top of all the current computer trends.

Happy Holidays

Landline Problems

Our landline went down over the weekend.  Last time we had a problem we were able to report it to a person, in English and it was quickly fixed

We called on the landline to 1004.  This time we were using a mobile to the same number but everything was automated in rapid Spanish-.

I do speak Spanish but this was beyond me.  The call back was particularly difficult, even our Spanish friend who helped us said the questions were quick fire and the time allowed to respond short.  Because our landline was down we had to use a mobile, was this the problem or has the option to speak to a real person disappeared?  Does anyone know how to get through to a person, English would be good but Spanish will do if I can ask them to repeat!       Answers to Digame please

Recommendations for an Olive Factory

(1)

The olives are pressed in the Torrox Cooperative which is the building to the back of the large car park at the top of the village. You won’t be able to miss it soon due to the queues waiting with their olives.

Jenny H

(2)

There is one in the north west corner of the large car park on the road down from the Torrox roundabout to the pueblo. It’s where the Migas is cooked.

Don’t know any details but I think you have to register as a cooperative member and you get a credit for the weight you bring. I’m sure others know the exact details. Mark

(3)

The olive press in Torrox is the large building in the main car park

(just down from the roundabout at the Competa Road end of town).

Before you start to collect your olives I would speak to them as I’m not sure if you have to book a time to take them in or set up an account with them first.

I think there are rules about the condition of the olives (ie not over-ripe)

and no twigs in the bags etc.

It is a Co-Operative so your olives will just go into the mix and I believe they either pay you in money some time later or in olive oil.

If you want to have just your own olive oil bottled then I understand there are presses that will do this but I think they are further afield (from what a neighbour said I think there’s one in Velez, but not sure where I’m afraid).

For anyone that hasn’t been to the Torrox oil press, we always buy our extra virgin from them for salads and it’s delicious.

They sell the local sweet wine too from barrels. Barbara

 

 

Recommendation Que Tal Restaurant

Four of us went to the new Que Tal restaurant in Sayalonga last night, and it was a great experience. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious – a whole step up in standard for the area. Would highly recommend, but it’s small, so booking is probably wise.

Recommendation Car Valet

 I can thoroughly recommend Warren to anyone who wants their car cleaning thoroughly inside and out and the usual Spanish dings and scratches removing from the bodywork. Warren had my 12 year old Toyota RAV for a couple of days and when he returned it this afternoon I thought he had brought me a different vehicle! The RAV had minor bodywork damage all over, the result of typical wear and tear and the unrelenting sun. Warren managed to restore the outside to excellent condition, finishing it with a protective covering. He cleaned the engine, got the wheel trims shining again and brought the inside including the seats back to near perfect condition. Warren can be contacted on: 618346098.

Recommendation  Que Tal, Sayalonga

Four of us had a seriously good meal at Que Tal last weekend.

The accomplished chef/proprietor of this small and unassuming

restaurant served us delicious, well-seasoned, carefully prepared

and beautifully presented food.

The beef, lamb and duck were mouthwateringly good,

followed by a shared and completely perfect tarte tatin

with velvety smooth vanilla ice cream.

This restaurant is a real find offering a rare combination of

relaxed ambience, terrific food, charming service and very reasonable prices.    Tel:  681 040 976.

Rehoming a Dog – Advice

What a shame that they didn’t ask the first vet to check if the dog was microchipped rather than wait until they were about to return to the UK. It’s a bit late now but for anyone else thinking of adopting an animal it has been law here since 2003 to have it microchipped and registered in your name. The website is here: http://www.raia.es/

 

 

Have you lost a cat?

I have been feeding a Beautiful young Siamese cat, cream and brown for the last month, I have no problem doing this, but I have dogs, so I cannot get close to it to be friends, It arrives at 6 45am in the morning and 5 45pm for its meal in the evening. Please contact Digame if it is yours, I am in the campo in Sayalonga. Regards B M

 

 

INR Tests – Advice

A few days ago someone was asking where to go to have a blood test for Warfarin levels, I have to have mine tested whilst I have extended stays  in Competa, I go to the local Consultorio with my Passport and EHIC card plus photo copies for them to keep they give me an appointment to have the same test they do in the UK and then  they adjust the levels as needed no charge.

 For Doug. It is easy to stop aircon or heating being used if doors or windows   are open

The installer should fit detectors on windows and/or doors of the relevant

Cautionary Tale about Re-Homing a Dog

​Just a word of warning to others.

In July/August time I saw an advert for an older dog looking for a home, as his previous owners had kicked him out, replacing him with a new puppy.

I went to see him, and the story was told that his owners had said they no longer wanted the dog, so it was ok to rehome him.

So rehome him we did! We took him in, bathed him and fed him, took him to the vets where he had to have his ears cleaned out, but we realised he was deaf (from the mess in his ears possibly) and treated him for worms and ticks.

He integrated into ​our family, and became happy and comfortable with the situation.

The we made the decision to move back to England, and of course take him with us. So thanks to Action for Animals, we went to get him micro chipped and jabbed.

However we then found out he already had a micro chip, and the owners had reported him missing.

Well, try as we might to contact the previous owners nothing happened, and try as I might to contact the people who allowed me to take the dog in the first place, again, nothing.

So now the dog has been reported to the officials as found, and we have to wait three weeks till he is declared as abandoned , and we can change the chips details.

Which means he hasn’t been able to join me in England!

Please; if you rehome an “abandoned” dog, or foster, make sure that these problems don’t occur! A simple letter from the ex owners saying they don’t want the dog, if it’s chipped, or make sure the dog is in the dire situation you believe it to be in!

I can now be denounced for stealing this persons dog, when I was told 100% that he is looking for a new home, without even being told where the old owners were, or given contact details just in case.

This isn’t fair to the dog, or to me, he is so happy and lovable now, and if they decide they want him back, we would have no choice.

I will not name names, they know who they are, and they need to wise up a little bit.

 

 

UK Postal Voting  –   Ooops.

Thanks to Alan (Alcaucin) for querying my message concerning postal voting. I got the initial info from local council offices in the UK. I saw a leaflet that mentioned the new registering online in the office. (We are going to be here, renting for a while.) I had a chat with a helpful young lady, I mentioned how difficult it was to use a postal vote from overseas with the short time involved. She was flicking down the screen and said do it online, just download the forms and post them. I didn’t check myself!! After Alan’s post I was back in the offices again yesterday and spoke to the same young lady. She looked online and went to speak to someone else. Oops. The initial info was wrong, you can apply online but the forms are mailed, not emailed.

Sorry folks….

Services – Bouquet for the Dog Academy
On behalf of APA Estacion Esperanza and CAS, the Costa Animal Society.

We would like to convey our sincere gratitude to the Dog Academy for all their help this year in our various charity fund raising events.

The Dog Academy always turns up for training sessions, rain or shine with dependability and help enormously with dog owners’ obedience and training problems.

Over the last few years Wendy and Allen have been instrumental in helping raise in excess of 15,000€ to assist Spanish animal charities based in the Axarquia.  Wendy’s entertaining exhibitions of advanced agility and obedience training are always a hit.  Proof of their professionalism is that they make such incredible performances look so easy.  Well done

The Nerja Town Hall Foreigners Department informs of the following news:

• URGENT AND VERY IMPORTANT.

1,600 FOREIGNERS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE NERJA PADRON POPULATION LIST IF YOU DO NOT COME TO THE TOWN HALL TO RENEW YOUR PADRON BEFORE 31^ST MARCH

All Foreigners registered on Nerja Town Hall Padron population list must renew their inscription every 2 years. When this time has passed, they will be deregistered. The Padron is very important as according to the number of persons registered, the town will be able to have more doctors, health centres, police, schools, firemen, infrastructure and other services.

The Town Hall receives every year approx. 150 € per person registered on the Padron from the central and local government. The government establishes that every 2 years all foreigners must confirm that they still continue on the Padron. Otherwise they will be considered as not living in the town anymore. Consequently, they would not figure on the population list for the town to receive grants. Also you will lose all your benefits and rights.

If by March 31^st, Foreigners who are on the renewing list and have not come to confirm their Padron, will be deregistered. Nerja will lose around 1,600 inhabitants. This means that Nerja will not receive a great amount of money to give services to the town. It is very important for the Town Hall not to lose these persons. You will receive a reminder letter, but after a few attempts, this letter will be returned if you are not at the house.

To avoid queuing, the best way to check if you have to renew your Padron is by sending an email to the Town Hall Foreigners Department to extranjeros@nerja.es stating your name and NIE number. We will check and email you back.

Also you can see Jacky at the Foreigners Department on the ground floor, or see Angeles or Manolo at the Main Reception also on the ground floor (on the left). Please bring a photocopy of any kind of identification; Preferably the NIE certificate, but also you can make a copy of your passport, identity card, driving licence, medical card, etc. We will confirm if you have to renew your Padron and if so, you just have to sign a form.         Opening Hours:

Foreigners Department: Monday & Thursday from 10:00 to 13:30

Main Reception:                Monday to  Friday     from 08:00 to 14:00

Also we would appreciate that all Presidents of Communities inform their neighbourhood to come and check their Padron with us.

Recommendation

Advice for anyone who thinks they have a virus or malware infection.

Ccleaner although effective in cleaning out History, stored internet information etc is essentially a CLEANING/maintenance programme and will do little or nothing if you have a computer infection.

If anyone wants a free and easy to use maintenance programme that goes a lot further than Ccleaner,  I recommend Advanced System Care 9 FREE. One button maintenance.

1. Do a System Restore. This can be done as a first or second line of defence if you have a Ransom Demand, Pop Ups from dubious sites, your computer slows to a crawl etc. etc., although some Ransom Demand pop ups could require the services of an IT specialist.
2. Always have at least two well recommended anti virus programmes on your computer because every anti virus programme known will not find all infections on a computer. Your normal one that protects your machine in Real Time and another like MalwareBytes (free and trusted by many IT professionals) as  back up but DISABLED until you think you have an infection, as two anti virus programmes running at the same time will cause conflict, slow running etc. Before running any anti virus programme, do an UPDATE.
3. If you know how to put your computer in Safe Mode With Networking, do this before running a virus scan with the option of . This is because viri can  mutate and hide in places not normally accessed in normal running mode when being chased by an anti virus programme.

Here is some good anti virus advice from Microsoft.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/how-remove-computer-virus#how-remove-computer-virus=windows-7

If you think you have serious issues of any sort with your computer, there are two good advisory and free help websites run by experienced IT volunteers.

I have used them in the past to get rid of persistant viruses and other deep rooted computer problems.

http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/

There will be other and different advice out there but by using these basic guidelines you can free your computer of most viruses at home without paying for the services of a professional.

I have no financial or any other affiliation with any of the above,

I hope this helps someone tearing their hair out.

Recommendation Que Tal Restaurant

Thank you !

I read about this restaurant on DigameXtra

What an experience !

A menu prepared by Henning, a Michelin chef.

An intimate atmosphere with room for only 12 persons on any evening.

On my visit I enjoyed some Bach cello music played by Internationally renowned cellist Nella Hunkins.

This was fine dining and wonderful music that will live in my memory.

I need to get on the waiting list  ……..  the menu is mouth watering and the food is just divine.

tel : 681 040 976… but wait until I get another reservation.

Recommendation  La Pergola, Torrs del Mar

I was told by a friend today about a restaurant in Torre del Mar, its called La Pergola situated on Paseo Maritimo not far from Club Nautico. Italian food all freshly cooked on the premises at very reasonable prices. If you have not arranged your Christmas Day lunch yet, their menu sounds lovely. As they are a bit out of the way they could do with people being aware of their restaurant.

What’s on–  Lonely ?

This isn’t an offer to come to our house and share our Christmas, I’m afraid, but there may well be people out there who are single, widowed or divorced, who have time weighing heavily on their hands and need to get out and meet others. The demographic of the expat community is largely retired.
I’ve just read this article and wonder if it could be used to galvanise more interest and involvement in social and sociable activities. As with everything, use it or lose it: the less you socialise, the less you want to socialise!

There is of course a slightly less than altruistic motive behind this post: I recommend you come and join Amicorum in Torrox! We’ve finished until the very beginning of February but would be delighted to welcome new (and old) singers then.
We can be contacted via     amicorum8 at gmail dot com or

musicus at outlook dot es.
Happy Christmas to all!
