Kittens in Danger
Three of these beautiful kittens at the Repsol Garage. Mother only 9 months old. She will be spayed. Kittens need homes. Tel number on the picture. Very busy site, they are at risk.
Lost – Prescription Spectacles
I ordered a new pair of glasses on the internet and picked them up from my post box in Competa last Wednesday, and then did shopping and had lunch.. Somewhere along the way I seem to have lost them and was wondering whether anybody might have picked them up and wondered who they belonged to.

Official Statement from Archez Town Hall
The management and collection of stray animals is not a function of the Town hall, but an organisation called Mancomunidad, who then contract the collection to Don Animal.
The recent collection of cats has occurred following a number of complaints from people in the village and is something that happens annually and has done so for many years. The Mayoress of Archez, Mari Carmen, is a great believer in animal welfare and this is something beyond her control.
If you would like more information please contact Ruben Ariza on 952 553 159. As previously stated, the collection only occurs when the public make complaints and the Town hall is duty bound to report any complaints to the relevant organisation.
Finally, if anyone requires any information regarding Town hall matters, please contact us prior to posting on social media and we will be happy to provide full and correct information. Thank you. Mari Carmen Moreno Córdoba, Archez Town hall

Services- Transport – Recommendation
I recently asked two Digame transport advertisers for a quote to bring five large packages from UK to Sayalonga.

The packages arrived on time, to the minute, and I was kept informed by regular phone calls and emails.
What a service ! L.A.

Rentals- Owners Direct
(1)
We were very annoyed, too at the new service charges introduced by Owners Direct!
But after reading it through it seems that – if you don’t use the facility of accepting your payments through the website but still accepting payments direct – then it won’t apply.
It seems that soon any clients using this website will not be dealing with ‘owners direct’ !
All of the changes are very frustrating and taking away the personal nature of booking with Owners Direct. If anyone can suggest a good alternative I would love to know.
Joy. Email jdixtfloody @ fsmail.net

I currently advertise my property through Owners Direct, Holiday Lettings and Airbnb. Owners Direct is the only one that does not charge commission to the owner and the traveller but we are paying an annual listing fee to Owners Direct in lieu of this . The fee that Owners Direct are now levying to travellers is, in part, to be used to fund a full refund to customers who have been unlucky enough to book and pay for a property that has been advertised by fraudsters and does not actually exist and other serious problems that people experience. I would imagine that many potential travellers would want that reassurance as, currently, travel insurance does not cover these losses. As well as advertising my own property on Owners Direct, I do often use the site to rent properties in Rome etc for city breaks. I would be more likely to book through Owners Direct and have that reassurance, than through another site and not have it, but that is only my own personal view. The amount charged is on a sliding scale, the higher the value of the booking the lower the percentage charge will be ( I have no idea why).
You can prevent your guests from having to pay the fee by disabling request to book on your advert and disabling online payments but your number of enquiries may reduce as a result. We have been advertising for quite a number of years now and are in the lucky position that we have a lot of lovely guests who use our house year after year and they tend just to email me directly to deal with their booking but obviously we have built up trust in each other year on year which you are not going to have with guests visiting your property for the first time. It might be worth disabling your request to book facility for a short time to see how it goes and if your enquiries drop, just enable it again. It is interesting that owners are now going to be asked to review their experience with their guests which has always been the procedure with airbnb. M.M.
Rentals – Information re the new law
I have just received information from Jacky at the Nerja Foreigners Department concerning the new law regarding Rental Owners’ Private Properties. If you need any more information please contact your agent or Jacky at the Town Hall. Her email address is extranjeros @ nerja.es

Also it is important to remember to bring with you your EHIC card, just in case, and passports are essential. On the way to Gibraltar we stop to spend a penny and for coffee.
