Registering with Hacienda in Malaga/ Form 030

Can anyone tell me what’s involved with registering with the Hacienda in Malaga, a form 030?  Can I just show up and do it or do I need a set appointment?  And info on what I need to bring with me? Apparently I need to take care of this now, as I’m importing my car and the customs office is going to expect me to be registered.  (At least that’s what my agent tells me.)

Would really appreciate any info.  Responses directly to me at macnmum AT gmail.com or to Digamextra for everyone’s benefit.  Thanks!

A bit more information on ”desperate dog

We have had this beautiful dog in foster care for the past few days but unfortunately we cannot adopt him at the moment and he desperately needs a permanent home.

He is the gentlest dog one can imagine. We reckon he is about one year old and still very playful. He is walking well on a leash. I have walked him on trails and he learned within two days to walk beside me or behind me.

Newly neutered will reduce his problem with other male dogs and refocus on his owner. He is very intelligent and learns fast. Loves to be close to his owner and jumps into the car and lays down without any problem. He loves to explore and is curious about everything. He needs to be trained on basic commands, which we do not conceive as any problem. He is a large and strong dog, so he needs a firm but loving hand. With lots of love and cuddles and a bit of guidance, you will have a great friend for life.

If you want to know more about the dog you can contact me: Lars 642147155. For adoption please contact Nina on 660586040.

or

Hope this helps. Val

 

 

Responses to Ad – Hairdresser Needed

Further to the ad on today’s Digame I can highly recommend the hairdresser Angela at ‘Bella’.  I have been lucky enough to have her as my stylist since moving to Torrox Costa a year ago and I have found her to be second to none in attention to detail and in listening to what I want

Her prices are so reasonable too.

She is fluent in Spanish and English and copes well with clients who speak other languages.

Situated down a ginnel (alley way ) virtually opposite Mercadona and just past the ‘Tails’ charity shop

The salon is stylish and easily reached by car or bus (bus passengers coming from the Nerja direction get off at the first stop after the main Torrox Costa layby). . May I add that I have no connection with ‘Bella’, or any of its staff, I am just a very satisfied customer.  Tel 626269685.

How to Deal with a Scam

If you get a scam email, don’t just delete it, move it to your spam, if not already there, then forward it to….nfibphishing@cityof-london.pnn.police.uk then delete it.

If it is from a company, also forward it to that company using the email addresses below…. to help your fellow man! Most will reply with thanks.

If you think you have been compromised a trick to use is log in to the website address you usually use, for say your bank but input a false password. If the site is dodgy it will accept it! Then stay clear and worry!

I really don’t understand why they don’t all use ‘spoof’!

Computer Help Needed 

I need some kind person out there to show me how to transfer my email contacts, from my BT internet account to my Gmail account.

I have tried but to no avail!  There are so many I can’t imagine trying to do this manually and feel there must be a way to transfer all

my contacts in one go.   I live in the Canillas de Albaida/Competa area.  Thank you.

Email Scam – Warning

Today we received an email purporting to be a county court summons, it was, unusually, addressed to me by name and asked me to open an attachment to see the details.  As usual there were all sorts of things wrong with it when I thought about it, but like most people an apparent ‘court summons’ worried me at first.   We deleted it without opening the attachment and googled to find it is a known scam originating in America.   The email is in English, addresses you by name and threatens that the case will be heard without you if you do not attend.   If you get this do not open the attachment, it contains a ‘trojan horse’ virus which can allow remote access to your computer to steal personal and financial information.

If you have opened such an email attachment take you computer offline and run a good virus checker at once or see a computer specialist if you need help.

Recommendation Car Body Shop

(1)
To the unnamed person who wants a recommendation for car bodywork and
painting, I cannot speak highly enough of the firm below
Gonzalez 2000
Calle Bartalame Esteban Murilla 13
Velez Malaga    Tel 952 55 85 06
They are on the Poligono, easy to find.  Speak to Francisco  ( he
doesn’t like this abbreviated to Paco!!).  He and his brother run the
business.     Very limited English, but if you have some Spanish you
will get along fine.  If you do approach him, mention my name.
I have used them twice, the last being a week ago, and the work has
been of a high quality, with an excellent finish,  the price very
reasonable, and all completed in time quoted. On both occasions when I
arrived to collect the car at the time arranged, it was ready and
waiting for me.  No oversprays or remains of polish.
They were recommended to me by Simon of Talleres Simon, just up the
road, whom I trust totally with all mechanical and servicing work
Jeremy    melbury75  @ gmail.com

(2)

The best paint shop in the area is Lucas Pinturas, Pol Amaya, Torrox Costa. They are very professional, reasonably priced and always do an excellent job.

I cannot recommend them highly enough.     Bill

(3)

I highly recommend Antonio who’s family owns MAYVI which is located in the Sayalonga parking lot.  We were going to trade in our 2007 Black OPEL Astra.  Antonio has been servicing it for years.  I was going to have him touch up all the campo “dings” and he asked me why?

Your car is in great shape, runs well and has low mileage.  So he offered to paint the whole car which included replacing all the rotted weather strips, faded plastic light fixtures, etc.  All for a very reasonable price and even repainted it with not only black but with metal flake in the paint at no extra cost!   Dave

Very satisfied, very local and family operated.  His son the painter is an artist.  Very little English spoken.

 

 

Recommendation Car Respraying service                                                                 I would thoroughly recommend Talleres D.K.W. in Velez-Malaga.                            They do a great job & have always been very helpful & given excellent service. Phone 951 390 875 (Spanish) or 619 401 992 (English)                                               They are situated in Camino Remanente, No16.just off the roundabout on the road to Trapiche.   John

 Desperate Dog….

This beautiful dog has been abandoned in Cómpeta and urgently needs a home or foster.  Action for Animals have had him neutered, but without a foster family or refuge to take him to, he has no option but to stay on the streets unless someone can offer him a temporary place to stay or a permanent new home. He’s a beautiful dog and would make a lovely pet. Please contact Nina on 660586040 if you’d like more information or can offer any help

 

Chihuahua (girl) Available for Adoption

We used to run a dog rescue in the uk but closed it and moved to Spain in January as my wife’s health declined. However, we currently have a little chihuahua girl pup that was in a Spanish pet shop smelly and crying so my wife bought her (though she has since realised that it’s the norm here often so no longer goes in pet shops!). She is now 3 months old- has gained weight lovely (1.5kg and not expected to go over 4kg) and been vet checked, worm treated, flea treated, vaccinated etc at our lovely local vets.

She has been lead trained and off lead at our villa and there is a 20% discount for her spaying when she’s 6 months with our vets.

She will also have a passport.

She’s used to young children, cats and dogs so now just needs a forever home. She is a very happy, bouncy, loving girl who loves to play with her toys.

We called her Lola and she also has bowls/lead/collar- If you are interested in adopting her please email me on – pajones27 @ hotmail.co.uk

 

There would need to be a house check and vet reference. Also a contract to say you agree to spay- it is very dangerous for small dogs to have pups and there are enough dogs needing homes in the world so she is NOT for breeding and we would expect to stay in touch. There is an adoption fee to make sure the home is serious though it is a lot lower than her costs. Thank you! Adam

 

 

Kayla Needs a Home

I am still looking for a loving home for my 6rys old german shepherd dog kayla she is a lovely natured dog and she loves people and is fine with other dogs and cats. It is with deep sadness that i need to rehome her but my husband had to go back to ths uk for work and i am struggling with walking her as i have arthritis in my knees and my hips and i will be going back and forwards to the uk. If you think you can give her a loving home contact Lorraine at lorrainemartin24@outlookdotcom.

Recommendation Needed –Car body shop/resprayer

 

 Any Digamites out there who can personally recommend a vehicle paint spraying shop within the Velez Malaga/Nerja area. Responses to Digame so that perhaps others may use the service.

 

Responses to Eye Tests

My thanks to Steve for kindly taking the time to respond to my request concerning eye tests.  I will certainly be contacting Clinica Hidalgo for an appointment.

Thanks to Digamextra for this great exchange of information service. SP

 

 

 

Response     Amazon Fire Stick – Advice

I had the same message on mine. The stick does not get enough power from the tv alone and you need to use the power cord/ adapter to power the stick. Hope this works for you

 Recommendation Tree pruning – Competa area

From a Digamextra mention on 12/03 from Phil McEvoy (phillymc  @  fastmail.fm), I contacted Phil, who in turn made an appointment for Samuel (628 441 205) to come to my property to prune and give advice on fruit trees (orange, mango, nispero, avocado, olive and almond) and teach me how to do it in the future.

A VERY helpful young man, who made sure that I was confident with pruning before he left.

He also fully pruned 3 large and neglected olive trees and a number of almonds. From my experience of spending a morning with Samuel, I feel capable of doing this myself in the future.

Although Samuel only speaks Spanish, we were able to communicate and understand each other very well.

I can highly recommend his work and attitude.

Very reasonably priced work also.

What’s on –Nerja Decorative and Fine Arts Society

Tuesday March 22th 2016

11am Museo de Nerja, Plaza España

The art and architecture of the Khmer Empire, 6th to 13th century

Angkor Wat and all that

Fully Illustrated talk in English Michael O’Brien PhD

Sponsored by  Liberty Seguros

Visitors most welcome €10

This lecture includes a brief account of the geography, the historical sources, the language and religion of the Khmers and traces the development of the empire from small Indianised states in the 6thc. to the establishment of their capital in the Angkor region in 802 and on to its demise after the middle of the 13thc. I will show how their sculpture and architecture evolved during this time. There are hundreds of temples and other structures at Angkor, three of the most significant will be discussed in more detail, Banteay Srei (967), Angkor Wat (early 12th.c) and The Bayon (early 13th c.) with brief mention of some others for their sculptural or architectural interest.

About Michael O’Brien

Michael has had a long interest in early Hindu sculpture and architecture and has made many visits to South and South East Asia, developing a particular interest in Khmer art and architecture. He has lectured to many societies on these topics, in the UK, France, the USA and two tours in Australia, including the South and South East Asian courses at the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the School of Oriental and African Studies and the Royal Archaeological Institute.

Sad End to the Story of the Pig

I thought some readers may be interested in hearing about the fate of the pig, the following is as related to me by some Spanish acquaintances, these people having become concerned about the welfare of the pig called the police who duly arrived and found  the pig in a distressed condition and informed the owner that they were calling Animal Protection and left, before the protection people arrived if I understand the gesture correctly the pig was killed , they suggested two reasons why this happened firstly that the owner did not want to pay vets bills and secondly that he did not want officials looking too closely at his horses ? Whatever the reason the pig is no longer there, the horses remain and appear to be healthy and are cared for .   Hayden

 

Amazon Fire Stick  – Can anyone help?

My son sent me an Amazon Fire Stick from the U.K. which he had loaded with the appropriate programmes.  I have followed the instructions and plugged it in to the T.V. and typed in my Jazztel clave.  I am getting a notice on screen saying

Jazztel DBC8 signal strength very good, scaning”.  Then another notice pops up saying “Not in Range,disconnected”.

Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong and offer any advice?

Replies to Digame please, just in case someone else is having the same problem.  Mike

 

Response to  Chicken George

One good turn deserves another so I can offer my husbands services in purchasing the medication, with sweaty woman on front of box, from the uk as he is going next week for 3 days. He will only be visiting the Trafford centre Manchester, so if it is there he can get it.
Hope this helps.

more specific problems such as :
Aggression – towards other dogs, people & other animals.
Possessiveness – over food, toys & bed etc.
Greeting – barking or jumping up at you, visitors or people you meet on the street.

Services Needed – paint & painter

Does anyone know where I can buy Sandtex paint in the Nerja area? Also if anyone could recommend a quality professional painter would need scaffolding.

Replies to Digame

Thank you

 

 

Recommendation –Phone Repairs etc.

During an electrical storm recently, whilst charging our iphone on an unprotected supply, a power surge blew the battery.
Jason, on 695 318 587 situated in Burriana Properties, Nerja, was extremely helpful and quickly ordered and installed a new (and genuine iphone) battery, also repairing the damaged charger input, all for a very reasonable cost. We would highly recommend him.
NB. We bought a surge protector ‘tower’ (which takes three or two pin plugs) from the little shop just inside Nerja SuperSol for 25euros after that!

Dog Needs Permanent Home

My name is Chico and I am castrated Podenco, approximately 1.5 years old,  weighing 11 kilos. I’ve had all my shots and I have a passport to travel in the EU.  However, since being rescued by Axarquia Animal Rescue in August 2015, I have been spending my days in a kennel and lately at a foster home, but I so want to have my very own family to love.  Could you be looking for a sweet and loving boy like me?  I promise to give you lots of love and to put a smile on your face everyday.   P.S. My foster mom says that I’m very handsome, but that kind of talk just makes my pink nose go pinker.  For more information, please contact AAR at  http://www.axarquianimalrescue.com/  My foster mom, Val, says you can also email her for more information about what a lovely, sweet-natured boy I am (vsheppard7@gmail.com).  Thank you!

 

 

Lost Dog Rescued

This small podenco with an emerald green collar was found on the circumvalacion close to the Mirador de Torrox apartments on Monday evening, she was almost run over twice so I brought her home with me. She obviously has a home as she is well fed and very friendly. She does not have a microchip. Please ring me for more information:- Sue. 952539370 mobile 629501173.

 

 

Dogs on Beaches – Opinion (The Final  Post on this subject)

In reply to the post that dogs should never be on beaches used by sunbathers (those lying around getting skin cancer).

I do not condone leaving one’s dog excrement on the beach or anywhere else.

If the authorities would create dog friendly beaches then people could avoid

them if they wanted to.

How many thousands of kilometres of beaches are there in Spain? Yet I do not know of one where dogs are allowed.

Has the person who posted ever looked at the human mess that is all over the beaches in far greater abundance than dog mess? There are hypodermic needles, soiled nappies, plastic bags, pizza and other fast food containers, vomit, broken bottles etc, etc. Most of the rubbish is non-biodegradable and some of it is quite dangerous.

I have seen women letting their children poo on the beach and not pick it up, but all of this seems to be O.K.

There is room for us all and we should share it responsibly.

Crag,

Nerja

Looking for Karen or Jacinto…. 

Does anyone have any contact with Karen or Jacinto who used to run Allsorts in Nerja? They were selling John Hardy’s books for us (on a sale or return basis), and we were surprised to find the shut shop for renovation the last time we went. The new Allsorts is under new management, and couldn’t help us. The number I have for them just rings unanswered, I can’t even leave a message. We would like to get our books back, or the money for them, so if anyone can help, please email wendy.sedella @ hotmail.com or if you prefer to ring, 951069997.

Recommendation –Casa Magel

Having read positive reviews of Casa Magel on Digamextra, we decided to book two nights B and B last week and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Maggie and Eli, our hosts, were welcoming and friendly and booked us onto the walk on the caminito del rey. Our room was very comfortable and Maggie’ s food is lovely. Their house has magnificent  views of the mountains and is very well placed for trips to El Torcal, the wolves park and El Chorro.

A lovely place to stay and we will certainly be going back.

What’s on –Amicorum Choir

Amicorum is a different choir.

Because our rehearsal space is generously donated by one of our members (as is the keyboard), music is generally sourced free of copyright from the internet, and our musical director (an ex musician and academic) charges no fees, we pay no subscriptions. We rehearse a wide range of music, from 16th century Italian and English madrigals to 20th century spirituals and art songs (such as ‘All in the April Evening’).
The rehearsal session lasts two hours without a break and is quite light-hearted, after which we enjoy tea and refreshments including each other’s company. Perhaps what marks us out from other choirs in the area is that most of us read music to a greater or lesser extent, although some of us freely admit that it is going on for half a century since we last read music!
If the above sounds appealing to you, please do get in touch.

Or email addresses are

amicorum8 @ gmail dot com (secretary) or

musicus @ outlook dot es (musical director).

We meet weekly in Torrox Costa.

What’s on Namaste. Yoga

Yoga for everybody in Nerja, Torrox and Torre del Mar

My name is Kiki Trenew. I am practising Yoga since 14 years – nearly every day – and it changed my life. To understand Yoga you have to practise regular. With increasing practise your power, confindence & well-being will grow slowly. Your view will go to the inside and this will make a change in your life.

Everybody can practise my Yoga whatever age or physical condition. I always work in little groups and i will adapt the Yoga posture to every single student. I mix Ayur Yoga, therapeutic Yoga, Yin Yoga & Vinyasa Flow Yoga – the basic you will find in Hatha Yoga. Every class can be different as i always work in needs of my students. Come along and try out and learn to boost & stretch in a healthy way:

Mondays 10 h and 20.30 in Nerja

Wednesdays 10.30 h (men only) in Nerja and 12 h in Torrox

Thursdays 11.30 h in Torre del Mar, 18 h in Torrox and 20.30 h in Nerja

 

For those who don’t like to work in a group, I offer one-to-one sessions in Nerja or at your residence.

3 Lovely Pups Looking For a Home

We still have 3 lovely little pups looking for a home out of the original 9 that were dumped on our doorstep on January 3rd.  Miko and Mimi are just like twin brother and sister with playful personalities who love cuddles.  Sherlock has an inquisitive nature and is still the smallest of the bunch.  All three are now 12 weeks old and have been fully vaccinated except for the rabies jab, which must be done by their new owner along with the microchip.  Sherlock is just under 5 kilos while Mimi is nearly 6 kilos and we think they will only be about 10-12 kilos when fully grown so they will be about Jack Russell size.  If you can give any one of these waifs a good home please call Laura at 646 613 885.

 

 

Puppies Still Seeking Homes 

We still have three puppies to home and I’m hoping that their new owners are out there just waiting to hear – these three certainly are waiting with great excitement

Here are two that can be seen at San Fernando vet in Nerja during the week – just a short film about their visit https://youtu.be/A0eKY0xb3IE

If you are interested or can spread the word it could make everyone happy.

Truly Amazing Male Dog – Blind Since Birth

Pancho (AAR 1207) came into our lives in December. A medium-sized podenco with a super soft coat, he’s under 2 years old and while we’ve learned that – he’s been blind since birth – he has confidence and navigates our large, terraced garden with relative ease. He is truly one of the easiest foster dogs we’ve ever had. We just don’t know why he hasn’t yet been adopted. He has mixed very well with our other dogs, male and female. Check out the photo and you’ll see that everyone falls in love with Pancho. He really likes children too. Contact www.axarquianimalrescue.com/ for more information or to arrange to meet him.

 

 

Dogs on Beaches – Opinion

Dogs should never be allowed on a beach used by sunbathers. Their foul excrement, left untouched by too many inconsiderate dog owners, to be found stuck to sandals, or beach towels. The ‘mess’ that is the Torrox Costa Paseo, testament to how many dog owners are happy to ignore their pooches daily do’s.

Services Needed –Eye Tests

Does anyone know where I can get just a good thorough eye test and the prescription without buying a pair of glasses? Most opticians will not give you the prescription without a purchase.  I am not a lover of Specsavers.

Services –Blocked Drains

We feel that we need to inform anyone that has blocked drains that the solution is to call the experts in and “Waynes Drains” are certainly the ones to call as we had a very difficult blockage and no access to the drain , it was detected by Mike and Rob with there tracking device , they removed.

a tile in the hallway and unblocked the drain , and replaced the tile with one that I had spare (luckily). they then constructed a drain access outside complete with metal lid and replaced the tiles . the result was perfect and there cleanliness excellent

Responses –Vaping

There is something else that you need to be aware of if you are vaping. In some cases, eliquid vendors will substitue acetyl propionyl or acetoin for diacetyl. While these are less harmful both of these substances can be converted into diacetyl by the body. So you don’t want to accept eliquids with diacetyl, acetyl propionyl or acetoin.

This is a long read but worth the effort….

Recommendation –Bouquet for Man with Van Transport Service

My family and I, in Velez, second the motion!!  We had a tedious move a few days back and Merv provided the much needed help of transporting and moving heavy items.  His professional manner of being prompt with his replies and friendly and courteous throughout were impressive!!

His truck is clean and specious and he knows how to fit the bulky items to optimize the space in his van.  Well done Merv!!

He is a keeper!!

 

 

Responses –Vegetarian Restaurants

(1)

I can only answer for restaurants that I have been to in Nerja.
La Joya- Calle los Huertos Nerja
Lan Sang-Calle Malaga Nerja (also has restaurant at Burriana beach Yuu Taaley)
Jaipur-Calle los Huertos Nerja
Restaurant Asiatico Yuan- Apartamento Verano Azul Nerja
Julie’s Place off of the church square at Balcon de Europa Nerja
I can also state that most ethnic restaurants will cater to vegetarians, leaving out the meat.
You can also do a search on Tripadvisor and click the box for vegetarian under cuisines (if the area has vegetarian restaurants) on the left hand menu, for any city in the Costa del Sol.

The Good Stuff café in Nerja makes their own pies, pasties, cakes and quiches, serving a number of vegetarian options. They make a range of delicious salads to accompany them too. It is at the top of C/ Chaparil where it meets with the main road, just a little further along after the ‘bumpy’ bridge where El Puente restaurant and Supersol is. They are shut on Sundays but open Mon-Sat 9am until 8pm so we go there for an early supper sometimes

(and sometimes lunch, and tea and cake!). Barbara

 

 

Recommendation for Computer Help

I have Windows 10 installed and have had a problem printing from the internet. Following a recent recommendation on DigameXtra I e-mailed Peter Mus for help. I received an immediate reply followed by a series of questions and answers related to my problem.

This resulted in a visit by Peter the following day at exactly the time agreed.

Peter proved to be very knowledgeable and was able to resolve my problem within a very short period of time.

Highly recommended, his e-mail address is, torroxcostarental @ hotmail.com
