Recommendations & Requests
Translator/Interpreter Wanted: Hello, I am looking for an interpreter for a civil court date in Velez-Malaga on 19/10/20.
I speak some Spanish but I am not fluent. My solicitor has advised me to bring a friend on the day just in case. I don’t live in Spain and I don’t have any friends in the area.
There won’t be any requirement for you to argue the case, you’d just be there to ensure I haven’t missed something in translation.
If you can help or know someone who might please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I am not looking for a freebie and expect to have to pay you for your time and expenses.

Many thanks. Ben, Velez

Please be careful about believing crisis info posts on Fakebook, Social Media and even mainline news sources: There are tons of hoaxes circulating. If there is no verifiable source provided with the info, while it may contain some degree of truth (as do all good lies) you should always have a healthy degree of scepticism. -Ed.
Junta advises against non-essential gatherings, as coronavirus case figures soar in Andalucía: The regional president Juanma Moreno has not ruled out new restrictions if the case figures continue to rise during the rest of September. He expressed his “concern” over the evolution of the pandemic with the feared second wave coming earlier than expected.
Moreno advised against non-essential gatherings, even those with relatives “whenever possible”. Infection was easier at gatherings where people drop their guard, he said. Full story:

Bank of Spain downgrades economic forecast and warns of slower recovery: According to the central lender, GDP will fall between 10.5% and 12.6% this year as a result of the coronavirus crisis. Although the end of the lockdown in Spain had created hopes of a strong recovery, fresh coronavirus outbreaks and travel restrictions imposed in late July put the brakes on economic activity, particularly in the hospitality industry.
