If you need a response to your email in Digamextra please do NOT to use my address.
Just a brief suggestion for some of your postings.
Sometimes events are publicised by reproducing a poster of the upcoming event. But the copy is often too small or out of focus to legible.
Secondly, on quite a few occasions I have been intrigued by the details of an upcoming event only to find there is no listing for the address. There seems to be an assumption that everyone knows where such and such a bar is.
Just a couple of random thoughts.
Cheers.

Editor writes – a constant headache (& annoyance) for this Editor. Thanks for highlighting it Andrew. Jane
Peña Escrito Zoo ?
Does anyone out there have any information on the current status of the Peña Escrita zoo situated in the hills north of Almuñécar? I am enquiring as their upper parking lot is a preferred starting point for ascending Navachica. The last status I have is that the gate at the lower end of the road is chained and locked. The word is that the animals are being relocated due to concerns raised by the SPCA. So, the salient question is whether the road will be opened to the public at some point, if it hasn’t been already!
Answers to DigameXtra please as I’m sure there are other concerned hikers out there.
This is a Warning from Doctor Laptop
Following his serious illness – brought on by taking this drug, initially administered at a local hospital as well as suggested by a local clinic and available in Spain without prescription…..he would like us all to be aware of the danger. Thanks Naythan !
Say NO to Nolotil (Metamizol)
Warning: This drug, prescribed as a common painkiller to holidaymakers in Spain, is potentially ‘toxic’. For unknown reasons Brits and the Irish are especially vulnerable. (I am only a quarter Irish and it nearly killed me)
William “Billy” Smyth, 66, from Ireland died from septic shock after taking Nolotil for five days – a drug banned in the UK and Ireland…
Full article at:
Metamizol is the generic name for a drug that also goes under the names of Dipyrone, Analgin, Novalgin, and Melubrin. It is a non-opioid pain-reliever and fever-reducer. It was available all over the world from the 1920’s to the 1970’s, but at that point it was discovered that Metamizol carries with it a small risk of causing agranulocytosis, a potentially fatal condition characterized by a dangerous drop in white blood cells.

So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor.
