Minigolf La Herradura: Taking the Plunge
-The Secret Minigolf Password Promo. Still sitting on the wing’s edge, conceivably anxious, terrified even of taking the first tee and facing down eighteen holes of Minigolf designed to foil your mad pursuit of consecutive hole-in-ones and a possible course record?* Well, let me sweeten the pot. In honour of our stricken editor/publisher Naythan of DigameXtra, book your reservation via phone or WhatsApp thusly: State your name, add that you will be a first-time visitor to Minigolf La Herradura, tell me when you would like to play, how many people will be in your group, and most importantly, add at the end, “including Dr. Laptop”. ¡BINGO! You and the others in your group will be playing for half price! That’s right, 50% off the already crazy low admission prices. This offer stands even after what we assume will be the good doctor’s full recovery.
*(PS: I know the feeling. Pictured below is Señor Minigolf after having been not so gently nudged to a literal wing’s edge on his first skydive just east and 15000 metres above Sevilla. “You ready, Mister Scott?” asked my Italian instructor. I look back over my shoulder, “You still have a positive outlook on life, Luigi?” “I luva’ the life!”, he shouted. “Okay, then,” I say, “One, two, two and a quart- MINIGOLLFFFF!!!” [Don’t worry, first-timers at Minigolf are not required to carry an instructor on their back throughout the round.…])
-Location: We are very easy to find, albeit obscured from the beachfront Paseo Andrés Segovia. Just two small alleys back, we are directly behind the children’s playground, the Centro de Salud, post office and newly remodeled market/food court. Please visit our website: http://www.minigolflh.es for a Google map which pins us down exactly.
-Admission fee: Current pricing is: six euros for 12 and unders, 8,50€ for 13 and over. Family discounts are also on offer such as 2 adults and 2 children for only 25 euros. This price includes all activities on the grounds and is valid for the entire day. Feel free to ring proprietor Scott Huston with any questions you might have on +34 603 416 632.
-Temporary Opening Hours: For the coming two weeks, I will be open officially from 6:00pm until 10:00pm six days a week (closed Wednesday). This is due to long-standing knee issues that I am trying to get taken care of before the high season of July and August. Please do not hesitate to call for a reservation from 11:30am on as I will probably be free, but I can’t guarantee it without at least two hours’ advance notice.
Best regards, Señor Minigolf, Scott Huston / La Herradura

Upgrade your skincare routine with this amazing beauty tool! Your skin will thank you. For both youthful and mature skin. Use the rose quartz roller to improve circulation, reduce stress and puffiness, brighten skin tone, and soothe skin irritation.
MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin
We are a Torrox-based company specialising in the creation of formulae which help prevent premature skin ageing. We are committed to making effective products at affordable prices.
Your skin health matters to us. How you feed your skin is as important as how you feed your body. Why settle for anything less than natural and organic?
As our skin is the first layer of our defence against microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation and environmental contamination it plays a vital role in our health. As we grow older, however, our skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and more sensitive; hence it requires the use of treatments containing specific ingredients to the care of treating mature skin.
Recognising this need we have created a range of formulae which help
-slow down ageing process by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
-improve facial complexion and eliminate blemishes.
At Moonette, we are passionate about health, beauty and plants. Your skin will benefit from the properties of botanic essential oils combined with a selection of nutrients for deep hydration, cell revitalization and antioxidant effect, all sourced from the finest natural ingredients with gorgeous fragrances.
Naturally, we care about our planet and feel the need to help reduce the sheer volumes of plastics waste that are generated daily around the globe. Presently, we are minimizing the usage of plastic materials in our production while seeking alternative forms of packaging. To help reduce pollution we are asking all local customers to recycle or reuse their Moonette skincare containers, and offering a small discount on future purchases to customers recycling containers.
**Free small testers are available on request** Please contact us to find out more or to order:

PETS

Forever homes needed for kittens: On behalf of a local animal charity, I have been fostering 2 Silver Tabby kittens since they were found abandoned at 3 weeks. They are now 10 weeks old and ready to go to a ‘forever home”. They are brother and sister, playful, clean, love being handled and cuddled. Would be ideal growing up with children to mature alongside them as family pets or someone who just loves cats!! They would give hours of pleasure.
If interested please contact me and come and see them.
