Due to the Covid restrictions, to avoid disappointment I suggest you call to confirm events and times before the event. -Ed.
Trapiche market is sadly closed this week due to the current covid regulations:
The market has a facebook page and most of the stall holders advertise their services and items there, some also take orders and delivery can be arranged.
Please support these small, local businesses which you can do by following them on facebook. Some businesses are able to work as they are not based in a municipality which is closed. You can contact most of the business via the Facebook link to Trapiche Market which you will find at the bottom of this advert.
We look forward to seeing you in the very near future. If you’d like more information please contact Anita at anitajjordan @ hotmail.com / +34 627 877 164

Recommendations & Requests
Found: I found a ring on Wednesday on the floor in Capricho’s. I should imagine it is of sentimental value. I handed it over to Nico, and no-one has enquired about it at all. If it was yours you know where to go. Carole Hart, El Morche

Eight towns in Malaga province are allowed to reopen bars and shops, another four municipalities can also lift municipal perimeter lockdowns, but two must close non-essential activity and two must enter municipal perimeter lockdown:
-Eight Malaga towns will leave the maximum alert level after witnessing a drop in the last two weeks from 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, so they will be able to reopen hospitality businesses and shops that are considered non-essential.
-The Junta de Andalucía said that these municipalities are: Alfarnatejo, Alhaurín el Grande, Álora, Cañete la Real, Cútar, Moclinejo, Mollina and Igualeja. They will maintain their perimeter closures – where it is not possible to leave or enter the town without just cause – but at least they can reopen their local businesses.
-On the flip side, two new towns must close all their non-essential trade: Villanueva de Tapia and Canillas de Albaida.
-There are another four municipalities that are due to leave the alert level 4 grade 1, as they have fallen below 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. This will allow them to reopen their borders. They are Archidona, Comares, Humilladero and Viñuela.
-On the other hand, Arenas (with an incidence rate of 509.8) and Cuevas del Becerro (500.9) are added to the perimeter lockdown list making 72 localities in Malaga province with this restriction, of which 33 are also in grade 2 – with the additional measure of closing all non-essential trade.
-The measures for the new additions to lists come into force from the early hours of Saturday morning following their publication in the BOJA official gazette. Full article: http://www.surinenglish.com/local/202102/05/eight-towns-malaga-province-20210205095113.html

These are the 60 locations in Andalucía where the Junta plans the next mass Covid screenings: People who are invited to the voluntary tests will receive a notification with information about the place and time they will take place.
In Malaga province screenings will be carried out in Villanueva de Tapia, Fuente de Piedra, Almáchar, Riogordo, Pizarra, Istán, Ojén, Macharaviaya, Algatocín, Jubrique, Benaoján and Cortes de la Frontera.

Protected Snail Forces Delays to Malaga’s Planned Megayacht Marina: A survey at the area put aside for Malaga’s new megayacht marina will look into whether there is a particular type of protected limpet in the waters where the marina will be built, meaning delays to the start of works.
Works to create the marina will include building two breakwaters to prevent motion within the marina, one measuring 30 metres long and the other 50 metres long.
Once complete, the marina will be able to host up to 31 yachts of between 30 and 100 metres in length, while a 745 square metre building will also be opened to serve as a reception and services building. A luxury restaurant is also planned in a building in the area.
