Reasonable Comment…..

Just can’t believe how many people put things on Digamextra without at least the area they are in .  So many times I read an ad and get excited at the thought of owning a particular item or even applying for a job such as maintenance or gardening just to find NO area mentioned . I will not contact anyone on the off chance they are in my area .   Sorry for the rant .   Martin in Colmenar.

ASAP Dog Rescue Charity based in Granada. Appeal   https://www.facebook.com/ASAPGranada

At ASAP we do exactly what our name says – we save local dogs from suffering as soon as possible. We started very small with just a couple of concerned people. We are still small but we now have more active volunteers . Whenever possible, we want to provide a permanent home for all our rescued animals. And we have done so very successfully over the past few years. As well as teaching greater tolerance and understanding of dogs we also encourage people to foster them. Re-homing is an important part of the project, the more dogs we can rehome, the fewer strays there will be on the streets. The dogs themselves are the project’s best ambassadors. They reward their new owners with loyalty and affection, bringing comfort and joy into their lives.  Sterre is one such dog. Sterre’s mother was a Mastin and her father, probably, a Podenco. She was found on the streets at 5-weeks of age with her mother, brother and two sisters and was taken in to foster care immediately. Sterres mother and two sisters were rehomed quite quickly but shortly after Sterre and her brother fell seriously ill with the Pavo virus. Sterres brother died, but Sterre miraculously survived. She is our longest ever foster care dog, of almost 18-months . She is very attached emotionally to Els, her Foster Carer, and is resistant to anyone new.   She is now about to enter a socialisation programme in order to better her chances of adoption and a new life.So, this is a renewed appeal for donations and the promise of a fresh start for this lovely girl, who deserves so much more. If you could spare, 5 euros or £5 pounds, then together we could make a real difference!!!! Thank you so much for your help.    If you have a Paypal account then please use info@asapgranada.es – and select ‘pay friends and family’ to avoid charges.  Please do not use this email for any other communication.We have a NEW bank account with Caja Rural  in Spain- details below.

Services-Casa Magel B&B

Casa Magel will be closed from 25th September until 15th October 2017   We still have vacancies until the 25th September & again after 15th October when our special offer of 2 nights B&B with 1 night evening meal for 2 including wine will be available, in a double en suite room 100€  Casa Magel lies on the edge of the typical Spanish town of Valle De Abdalajis.    We are surrounded by beautiful countryside with views of the mountains, yet only a 15 minute walk into the town where there are many bars serving meals and tapas, you really get a feel of how the Spanish live.Valle De Abdalajis stems from the Roman period when it was known as Nescania, conquered by the Moorish leader Abdalajis. We have a lovely museum showing the town over the centuries. There are many places nearby to visit, The Wolf park, boasts the most species of Wolves living in the wild in Europe. Convento Magdalena, is a beautiful 12th Century Convent lovingly restored and now run as a 5* hotel. Antequera a magnificent town that has the most churches in Spain …27… Overlooked by the famous Indian head mountain, where legend has it that a Moorish princess fell in love with a Christian soldier and they were forbidden to marry, so ran away together to the mountain, they were chased by her father’s army and so rather than be separated, they jumped to their death. Locals say some nights you can hear their cries. Then there is El Torcal, the highest point in the area, strange rock formations which were formed millions of years ago when it was under water, cover the land, a sight to behold.    In the other direction you will find Caminito Del Rey in El Chorro, a major tourist attraction, dare you do the walk!!!! Also close by are the fantastic turquoise lakes of Ardales, where you can just sit and watch the world go by, or swim in the cool clear waters. Hire pedallos or eat in the many restaurants of the area.   2 nights, is it enough ? Maybe book an extra night of the special price of 50€ per room. Autumn is on it’s way, what better than a nice break in a lovely room, lots to do and see, then back to a peaceful garden to sit by the pool, G&T in hand and wait for a lovely home cooked meal.    Makes great birthday or anniversary treat.                                                                                      Contact us Casa Magel@yahoo.com, 0034 628519862 website www.casamagel.com

UK registration of Vehicles in Spain

There has been much written on the subject over recent days, all trying to be helpful and some relaying experiences and some opinions or internet links to provide ‘information’. However ‘the devil is in the detail’ in that whilst we are part of the EU we are not part of the Schengen Zone. This is why we have to go through passport control when leaving or entering the UK. The EU permits fellow EU countries that belong to Schengen 6 months stay before requiring Spanish registration, whilst for those outside the Schengen Zone (i.e. UK) only 90 days in any 180 are permitted. The Schengen Zone agreement has been tightened recently as a result of recent terrorism attacks.   Hope this clarifies the argument.    Chris

 

Needed-Mobile Phone Signal Booster- Response

Below is a response to a request made on Sunday 10th September re:Services       We too had a number of issues re: mobile phone reception.  We asked for assistance via Digamextra but unfortunately all of the responses received were of a temporary nature and did not suit our long-term needs. However, we remain grateful that people responded at all and thankful for having a temporary service as opposed to none at all.  I took some time to investigate the best possible, long-term solution for us and, thankfully, found one. I hope the information below helps. Before buying anything download a free signal booster app to your mobile.  I downloaded 3 apps just to check different services e.g. Network Signal Booster (RealAppsMaker)Once downloaded give the app(s) time to respond and find a signal.  Before downloading the app(s) I could detect no signal at all to an intermittent one bar.  With the app(s) I could get 2 steady bars.  I continued to monitor this over a couple of days just to make sure that the signal would remain and wasn’t weather-affected.

  1. With a steady signal.  I could then investigate appropriate signal repeaters.
  2. The repeater that would best suit our needs is below and from Amazon.es https://www.amazon.es/dp/B01B1CU75I/ref=pe_3310721_185740151_E_item    Cost: 6,96€     The item was based in Velez-Malaga and arrived to our post office at Torrox Pueblo within 24 hours. I would recommend this seller.  We attempted to purchase the repeater on 2 previous, separate occasions (ebay and Light in the Box – both cheaper) on both occasions they cancelled the order the day it was to be delivered.  They were ‘supposed’ to be coming from Germany and Netherlands but both were being dispatched from China – had I known I would not have ordered them.  N.B.: this repeater may not suit everyone.
  1. One we unpacked the repeater and antennae we then had to find were the best signal would be located.
  2. We plugged in the repeater and tied the antennae to a tall ladder and walked about the terrace till the signal was strong and consistent.
  3. We then climbed the ladder and attached the antennae to the roof – a low roof – so quite east to do.  It could also have been fitted to the side of the house.
  4. We now have an excellent mobile reception.    Bassembagen@almanzel.com

 

Archez – dead kittens

So upset over the brutal killing of those tiny kittens. Can anyone give some indication as to who did this as whoever is responsible needs to be punished. As your letter said we are in the 21st century and this is totally out of order and they may do it again. At the moment I am looking after 3 kittens that are adorable. It breaks my heart to read your letter as they are so trusting to humans and expect to be cared for.. not treated like this.                                                                                    Susan Ann – Alcaucin  sueabrown @ hotmail.com (no spaces)

Services Available-More Groceries at Todo Papel, Competa. 

It’s Been a Long Week This time last week we were putting up shelves and moving stock.  With deliveries rolling in daily the new Sugar and Spice at Todo Papel is now bursting with yummy groceries. Phase 1 is complete but the project goes on as we continue to search out new tasty treats. Already we have a list of customer requests that we are hunting down. We have an additional 4 metres of shelving in the new set up, with the opportunity to expand it further if required so if there is something that you think we ought to have please let us know.
Already we have some great new food products. We have added chipotle chilli sauce to our Mexican range. For vegetarians and non vegetarians alike we have new chilled dips, black olive hummus and Tzatziki, and cashew and cranberry, and Mediterranean sundried tomato nut roast kits. We also sell Spanish products such as pil pil mix and smoked paprika and to this range we have added flavoured  olive oils and olive pates.
Sugar and Spice has often been referred to as “The English Shop”, hardly surprising as we stock all the British staples ,crumpets, scones, sausages and bacon.  But we have never marketed ourselves as an English shop  as our customers have always had very diverse tastes.   Asian foods have always proved to be very popular with our customers. In our Chinese range we have fish sauce, Hoi Sin sauce, vinegars and oils, all the soy sauces, dark light, gluten free and ketjap manis (sweet). We have Thai curry pastes including Panang, Massaman, red, green and yellow, Pad Thai as well as many other Asian cooking ingredients . We have every herb and spice required to knock up an Indian curry but if you’d rather  cut out the leg work we have a great range of Indian curry pastes and sauces and even frozen take away curries from the Taj Mahal at Torrox Costa.
To keep up to date with new food products, local events  and offers follow us on https://www.facebook.com/sugarandspice.competa/

 

Services Available- The new Sugar & Spice, Competa

With the food department  now under the management of Todo Papel  we’re looking forward to getting stuck into  making changes at the original Sugar & Spice shop. Our decor  website  www.lacasabella.es has now been trading for over 2 years and now we have space to show more of  our beautiful  home wares here in Cómpeta. The website and shop can best be described as the same flavour. On the website we need continuity in the shop we need displays changing to keep people coming back. It gives us the chance to show some of the individual items that it’s not practical to show on the website.
We continue to make contacts and scour the globe for beautiful and interesting decor.  We’re quite happy to answer as many questions as you have.
We have lots of new and beautiful things on the way. To keep in touch with home decor https://www.facebook.com/lacasabellaspain

 

Services Needed- Mobile phone – Signal Booster- Advice

Check if your mobile ‘phone has a “WiFi Calling” facility. Most modern mobiles will have it and decent carriers will support it,  eg my Samsung Galaxy 6 on Vodafone allows me to use it… But you may have to switch it on, your handbook or a helpline should guide you.   When in use “WiFi Calling” uses the internet to deliver your call – a bit like “WhatsApp” but not limited; good for all / most numbers.  Try Googling “WiFi Calling” for more technical and/or general information.Hopefully your mobile will have it. Good luck Michael. I would also be interested in info on Signal Boosters that could improve a mobile ‘phone signal and reception in the campo.

Flight delays and compensation

I read Nigel B’s post with great interest having tried to claim compensation from Monarch after a 18 hour delay. The flight attendants handed out all the necessary claim forms and told us we would receive compensation. Nothing happened. Not even an acknowledgement they had received the paperwork. After a year, I sent the whole caboodle in again. Nothing happened. As there is no phone number I am unable to pursue this by phone, and clearly, the email isn’t working. If Nigel B wouldn’t mind dropping me an email at rachael1210 at gmail dot com, I would love to find out how he managed to sort it out.   Many thanks, Rachael

 

DoctorLaptop’s Tips #63 & Sept. Special

-Many Windows 10 users are having problems with their computers freezing up since the Creator’s Update was released recently. If this happens to you try this before seeking help. Connect your comp to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of using WiFi. Then restart the comp 3 or 4 times, paying attention to any pop-up instructions and doing what they tell you to do. It usually sorts out a hung-up update.-Many Win 7 and Vista computers that should never have been updated to Win 10 are now having crashes after Win 10 is installed. It can take 6mo or more before problems become evident. You did check the manufacturers website to confirm your model was Win 10 capable before allowing the update to proceed, didn’t you? The Microsoft Win 10 Upgrade Advisor cannot be trusted! You MUST check the mfg website for correct info! -Protonmail.com free email users now have a free VPN available. Open Protonmail, go to Settings, then click VPN and proceed with installing it.-SPECIAL: Today’s new large hard drives are under much more stress than the older smaller ones since the tracking arm must do more work to cover the greater disk area. Extend the life of your hard drive by getting it reconditioned. Does not remove any data, recovers bad sectors and re-energizes the magnetic surface of the disk. All banks and mission critical computer systems do this annually. Till the end of Sept I will do this job for €50, usually €70.Phone 675 993 069(no calls before 11am) or email

Services Needed-Mobile Phone Signal Booster

We have decent mobile phone reception at the front of our campo house, but a very poor signal inside the house, or behind it.  I know that there are boosters that can improve the signal, working like a local wifi, but for mobile phone voice calls.  I would be interested to hear from anyone who used such a booster, and from anyone who can recommend a person/company that installs them.

Spanish Banks -Caution

Liz Bedford may like to know that two years ago when arriving at my holiday home in Competa I discovered my Spanish bank account had been frozen, and the only way to get it unfrozen was to provide the bank with proof of my income. This I did by arranging for copies of my pension statements to be emailed to the bank, thankfully before any of the standing orders were left unpaid.
So, if you have a Spanish bank account and don’t reside there, be aware that if you fail to supply proof of income by 31st August annually your bank account is liable to be frozen.

 What’s On- Photography – 5 Nights

In the hills of southern Spain over five hundred years ago, a mix of cultures and religions created a lifestyle steeped in beauty, philosophy and the ancient sciences. This five-night photography holiday is based in the traditional pueblo blanco of Canillas de Albaida in the mountains of Andalucía, an area south of Granada where the Moors were finally forced to abandon the Iberian Peninsula.

Led by award-winning British photographer Nikki de Gruchy, you will engage in a range of photography opportunities:

  • an afternoon exploration of the Albayzín, the medieval Moorish quarter of Granada and a world heritage site, with a picnic lunch stop on the coast enroute to Granada (street and architectural photography),
  • an evening visit around the gardens of the famous Alhambra palace, and the Generalife (night and garden photography),
  • walking along the acequias – irrigation channels dating from the time of the Moors – in the two national parks which border the village and afford views to the Mediterranean and the Rif mountains of Morocco (landscape and nature photography),
  • a wine tasting ‘degustación’ at a local bodega (food photography),
  • exploring the Mudéjar rural architecture of both Canillas de Albaida, and Salares, our visit coinciding with the annual Festival Árabe Andalusí where we’ll enjoy a souk, music and dancing (street and portrait photography)

Photo critique sessions give you feedback on your images and include post-processing editing suggestions. Superior accommodation in en-suite rooms in the heart of the village will ensure a comfortable stay.

The workshop price includes five nights accommodation with breakfast, Málaga airport transfers, transport to Granada and evening entry to the Alhambra gardens, transport to Salares, wine tasting, a picnic lunch and a delicious three course dinner on three evenings. Please note that drinks with dinner are charged at an additional cost and we are fully licensed.

Maximum group size of 6 ensures individual and tailored tuition.

Suitable for beginners as well as more experienced photographers who want to learn more about the technical and creative aspects of their camera, and the art of visual language.

Euro 595 per person sharing a twin ensuite room.

Euro 100 single person supplement.

Nearest airport: Málaga, with connections to over 60 countries worldwide.

For further details email essentiallye@googlemail.com, or phone/WhatsApp +34 616 530035.

Flight Delays & Compensation

I recently travelled from Gatwick to Malaga on an Easyjet late afternoon flight.

It was delayed by almost four hours. Not sure how many readers are aware, but depending on distance of the scheduled flight and length of time delayed, you are entitled by European law to compensation. I am to receive four hundred euros shortly. Any flight delays you have experienced under qualifying criteria can be back dated up to six years, so it might be worth checking back through your old flights! (the only time they can evade paying out is for bird strike, which is something totally out of their control). For info.

If your MOT renewal date is near the end of the month…. and it fails the MOT…. and you can’t get it fixed and re-MOT’d before the last day of the month…. DVLA know your vehicle has no MOT and they will not take the Direct Debit and your vehicle will then be not taxed. So when your vehicle gets its new MOT a few days into the next month, you must contact DVLA immediately to tax it from the beginning of the month and set up a new Direct Debit. If the vehicle is found parked on the public highway it will be clamped, there are companies employed by DVLA driving round with number plate recognition cameras and they are very keen. The minimum you will end up paying is £100 and that is mandatory (plus the road tax). DVLA will attempt to inform you, which is why you must always notify them of a change of address and contact details. The vehicle can also be impounded and the pound can be many miles away, there are several secure compounds dotted around the country. That will be £extra please. Of course if you’re not taxed, you’re not insured so if you was caught driving it by the police number plate recognition cameras, that will also be £extra! Plus driving licence points I expect.

Something you can do to help the situation is to have your MOT renewal date near the start of the month, which gives you plenty of time to get it fixed before the end of the month.

Also, remember that everything I’ve said above also applies even if you do the MOT a month early, as you are allowed to.

If the vehicle fails the MOT and you can’t get it fixed by the end of the month, DVLA know and will not take the monthly Direct Debit and you will not be taxed…. etcetera…. etcetera….etcetera. (King And I).

The source of this information is the DVLA website…. and a relative that had got the vehicle MOT’d 3 days into the following month due to a delay in repairs being carried out (by the garage that did the MOT and did not realise the implications) but had not notified DVLA of a recent change of address! The car was parked on the road and was found clamped and a big notice on the windscreen giving instructions on how to spend money! By the way, this notice was very difficult to remove. This was complained about and was told to use a razor blade, but carefully!

Cheers, Keith, travelin’ soon, wotsapninatgmaildotcom

 

Warning

We all need to be very, very aware of thieves around the courtesy bus area.

I saw a short man shuffling about near our bus. I remember him well because he seemed to have a lot of clothes on for such a very, very hot night. Also I saw him gently scratch the driver’s window as he passed by. Didn’t think much of it at the time but now I believe he was signaling the bus driver. We were the only ones in the courtesy bus, and the bag certainly wasn’t there when we got back to the area where our car was.

Yesterday we went and reported it to the police and I gave them all these details. They very kindly allowed us to look at some CCTV where we could see that we had the bag with us as we walked into the courtesy bus area. The police were very helpful but we couldn’t watch the cCCTV around the waiting area because the cameras are up high and naturally there are loads of people and buses around.

It must have happened while we allowed the bus driver to put our suitcase in the bus and while Tom was getting in. Split second stuff! The shuffling man must have been in cahoots with bus driver who’s name was (name removed due to EU anti-defamation laws for blog sites, see submission rules at the bottom of this issue.), not that that helps much. The courtesy bus was (name removed due to EU anti-defamation laws for blog sites) which we have used several times and always been happy with their service.

I wonder whether we should denounce the bus driver?

Hope this helps anyone who may be at the airport with bags and baggage!

Kind regards to all from Jo and Tom

Help Please- Missing Luggage

Was anybody at Malaga Airport on Friday 1st September about 10pm, maybe in the luggage hall or waiting for a courtesy bus outside?

We have lost a piece of hand luggage, black and green tartan with brown carrying straps, measuring approximately 40cms long, 20 cms wide, 30 cms high.

We have contacted the Lost and Found department who have been very helpful but it has not been handed in. I have an awful feeling that it may have been stolen while we were waiting for the courtesy bus outside, or perhaps stolen from the luggage hall. Amongst other things it contains 2 iPads, one of which has the ability to be found if it is switched on which hasn’t happened yet.

If you have any news please contact jotom20042003 @ yahoo. com (no spaces). Many thanks.

 

BREXIT Report

In reply to one of your readers, David Davis said on the BBC yesterday that an arrangement had been agreed on healthcare for UK pensioners in Europe.

This is an excerpt from the Guardian online.

“British pensioners who have retired to other EU countries will continue to have their healthcare paid for by the NHS post-Brexit, after a deal in principle was agreed by negotiators in Brussels. In one of the few advances made in discussions about EU citizens’ future rights, the Brexit secretary, David Davis, said there had been agreement on four key areas, including reciprocal healthcare for British and EU retirees affected by Brexit.

“This is good news for British pensioners in the EU,” he said.”

Does anyone  know anything about health insurance or use of ehic after Brexit, please. I am referring to very frequent visitors to Spain. I take the maximum allowed at the moment and have additional health insurance, paying the first £ 50 of  bills. Post Brexit I suppose the cost of this will soar .
