Torrox Spanish History Group:
-Our next talk will be on October 1st and our speaker will be Roy (Vernon) who is giving a talk on Guernica entitled “Why Guernica!”
The bombing of Guernica on 26 April 1937 was an aerial bombing of the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War by the Nazi’s German Luftwaffes Condor legion.
The bombing is the subject of the anti-war painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso
-On September 3rd we enjoyed an excellent talk given by Anne (Hayes) who gave a talk about the evacuation of the Basque children in 1937 when just under 4,000 children arrived at the Southampton Docks on 23rd May 1937. They traveled to Britain on the steamship Habana. An area of the Spanish Civil war which has not been covered a great deal by Civil War historians. One of our new members is the daughter of one of the teenagers who was sent to Britain at a later date in 1939 and she has the original news papers reporting about the evacuation of Basque children at the time and she will be bringing in copies for us to look at, at our next meeting.
-Our coach trip in November will be to Gerald Brenans house in Alhaurin el Grande.
The Torrox Spanish History Group meets every first Tuesday of the month at El Parquesol at 11am. If you would like to join us then please email me at

Ventana Abierta Jazz Club: Ventana Abierta Jazz Club presents the project of the Italian pianist Yuri Storione, who attends with a quartet of great musicians and the special participation of saxophonist Enrique Oliver.
Coming from classical music, Storione began playing at age 4. Once in the world of jazz, he earned his bachelor’s degree at the Berklee Music School and was a finalist in the prestigious piano competition of the Montreaux Jazz Festival. He studied with musicians like Larry Grenadier, who said of him: “Yuri has been one of my favorite students at the the Jazz Campus in Basel. It’s been my extreme pleasure to watch him the last couple of years mature into a very fine piano player. Yuri has all the things going for him to make him a player of great distinction in the near future. I look forward to witnessing his continuing growth as a musician.”
In this project, Storione offers a repertoire of original compositions, reflecting various aspects of current jazz, aimed at highlighting the individual virtues and versatility of the accompanying musicians.

Insect photo: Is it possible that the recent identification of the “Water Boatman” insect may be wrong? Could it be a “Backswimmer”? They are very similar to the “boatman”, but will attack small creatures such as tadpoles, and even inflict a painful bite on humans! Details here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/423421
