Car Batteries
An observation on car batteries in general, firstly car batteries have a shorter useful life than you may think
and in this day and age of cars with sophisticated computers even more so, even a small drop in the effective
output of a battery can and often will cause spurious messages to be displayed on the cars warning system which
is exactly what happened to my son a few weeks ago; his car suddenly displayed gear box overheated and refused
to restart, fortunately his garage recognised the problem and changed the battery which instantly cured the problem
and I leave you to imagine the size of the bill had the garage been unscrupulous or just less knowledgeable.
In the in the UK it is recommended that you replace your car battery after a maximum of 4 years and contrary to
what many consider to be the theory that living in Spain makes life easier for car batteries I must point
out that the higher ambient temperatures in Spain in fact shortens the life of batteries, couple this with our short
journey life style you may understand that the poor old car battery actually struggles to keep us on the road.
If you think the above comment is alarmist I suggest you fire up the google and ask the question.
Happy motoring H W

Evening Lecture on Tuesday November 15th 2016 at 6pm
Magnificent Mosaics – windows into the colourful Roman world
A fully illustrated lecture by Christopher Bradley
Sponsored by Ole Optica, Opticians in Nerja
Alexander Mosiac, Pompeii The Romans have left us with a remarkable artistic record of their lifestyle, beliefs, achievements and entertainment, in the form of beautiful mosaics. From the best museums and collections around the world we see how they developed earlier Greek designs; the cities in which they lived; the Gods and myths in which they believed; and the exotic and indulgent lives of the Romans themselves – from Britain to Sicily, from Morocco to Syria.
DolphinMosaic, Fishbourne This lavishly illustrated lecture uses only mosaics from start to finish, bringing the distant world of the Romans gloriously back to life with vibrant, colourful images full of action. So, this is the rise and fall of the Roman Empire but as you have never seen it before – through the eyes of the Roman people themselves and the contemporary mosaics they created to reflect and decorate their fascinating, colourful world.

Morning Lecture on Wednesday November 16th 2016 at 11am
The Spanish Indiana Jones in North Africa 1900-1948
The Spanish Pioneer archaeologists in Morocco in the Golden Age of Archaeology
A fully illustrated Lecture by Manuel Parodi
Sponsored by a Friend of NADFAS
A story of war, kidnappings, Berber Bandoleros, and some Spanish Indiana Jones…
The lecture is about the Spanish archaeologists and historians who developed their research in North Morocco at the time of what in Spain is called the “African War” (1909-1927), when Spain was trying to establish her Protectorate in the Northern part of Morocco in accordance with the results (and the mandate) of the International Treaties signed in the Conference of Algeciras (1906); these scholars worked in the field under war conditions, for instance in the Tetouan area, at the Roman (and pre-Roman) site of Tamuda, war front between 1919 and 1925, where César Montalbán was working in 1919, 1920 and 1921 until the war situation made the archaeological research stop – not to be restarted until 1940.
It is also the period of WW II, when some of our Spanish archeologists in Morocco even had some contacts with the Allies through the American Consolate in Tangier: while the world was struggling in war, some of these heroes of Archaeology and History, such as Pelayo Quintero, were developing their research in several sites as Lixus, Alcazarseguer or Tamuda.
It is a very interesting topic, a period really “apasionante”, with war, battles, pioneers of Archaeology (those are as well the times of Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in Egypt, for instance) working in the worst conditions, and spectacular results of their research.
About Manuel Parodi
Manuel Parodi, historian and archaeologist, has been working on the History of Archaeology in Northern Morocco and Southern Spain since 2005, and has published several books and articles regarding this particular matter. He has also been working in several Archeological and Historical Research Projects in Morocco since 2005, including the Archaeological Museum of Tetouan, its Archives and historical documents and records.
