Everyone Making Submissions Needs To Read This Next Item !

Standardizing Names & Email Addresses: From now on I will insert the Sender’s name and email address automatically into posts as the Contact name/email, replacing any other email address or name the post may contain. The Submission Rules clearly explain that only the Sender’s email address may be included in posts, and it must include the Sender’s first name. You may substitute a phone number and ask me to leave out any email address. This action is required as I currently have to return too many faulty submissions for correction; Senders either having incorrectly typed email addresses that later require I run a correction, or the submission having the Contact email/name different from the Sender’ email/name. I will use the following format: examplename AT gmail DOT com.

Holiday Publication Schedule: There will be no issues of DigameXtra on Tuesday Dec. 25th, Wednesday Dec. 26th, Tuesday Jan. 1st and Wednesday Jan. 2nd. Sponsor ads that fall on these days will be posted the next issue.

Recommendations

Ellen Amos, Dressmaker & designer: I would like to recommend this very talented and creative lady, who is based in Algorrobo. Ellen does alterations at a very reasonable price as well as making clothes from scratch. She has just altered five items for me: three were straightforward, one a bit more difficult and the last very tricky, involving a lot of work. I was delighted with the end results.
Ellen also makes clothes with a contemporary twist, and ‘customises’ items. She can be contacted on 642 464 801
I cannot recommend her too highly…. and she is a lovely person too!

Parking Permit: Getting a Spanish Parking Permit is harder than sending a man to the Moon but having said that you can be fined for using disabled bays even on private roads. You regularly see Police issuing fines in Shopping Centre Car Parks.
I have just had mine and the whole process took some 20 months. This I am assured was quick. You can only get help for filling in forms and setting up concessions etc, like not paying yearly car tax. I used Kaye tel 650102640 who was very good
First you need to register with the Social Department at your local Ayuntamiento . They will give you the application form or you can download it along with a English translation. I used El Morche as its easy to park outside. They have a direct line 952538010 for appointments and speak good english.
You then get an interview with a Social Worker who will asses you and recommend you need help. You need all your medical records and (min 5 years) residency paperwork etc.
Plus you need a recommendation from your doctor to add to this as it is the Doctor who refers you to the Social Worker in theory.
They send off all this to Malaga for you.
Then you wait nearly a year for a Medical and Social assessment in Malaga. You are seen by a doctor who will rate your disability to various levels. Following this you move on to the Social Worker who also assesses your disability and will explain what help is available with what levels you are likely to be assigned. You need 65% disability for Parking Permit and when they have done this you can get a Decision Letter stating what levels you have reached. This took 5 months to arrive after many phone calls.
If like me you attend in a wheelchair with no use of legs you only get 70%.
To save time the Social Worker will apply for the Parking Permit for you in advance if it is obvious she can see you have reached the necessary 65% disability prior to decision.
With the Decision Letter you get a card stating your level gained that you can use to obtain disability benefits.
The Parking Permit arrived about a month after Decision Letter.
It does allow you to park in disabled bays only. You also must pay parking charges as normal.

It’s Fiesta Friday Curry Night at Meson Mudejar (Calle Alamos 6, Archez):
It’s Curry Night again this Friday (and every Friday) at the area’s first plant-based (vegan) restaurant, Meson Mudejar, a couple of kilometres below Canillas de Albaida in the quaint and authentic small white village of Archez. David and Kinga prepare international, handmade international varieties of delicious plant-based dishes. Meson Mudejar also features theme nights like Friday’s Curry Nights when local musicians offer entertainment and there’s a special curry menu at 15€ for a three-course meal, opening at 19:00. The menu includes: starter is onion fritter (Pakora). Main course: three curries to chose from—mushroom and peas in spicy coconut sauce, black gram lentils in tomato sauce or chickpea curry (takes a day and a half to prepare). Dessert: fudgy coconut balls. All sauces are hand designed, all plant-based, all very tasty and healthy. And the ambience is magic and rustic and real. Imagine yourself entering a gypsy cave, a rustic and authentic Moroccan mountain village home, half restaurant, half B & B. White it seats 37, reservations are recommended. Last Friday was a full house. Thanks DigameXtra readers and thanks to DigameXtra as our Curry Nights’ popularity soars. Contact David or Kinga at 682 489 949 or Whatsapp FB-Link

Torrox Spanish History Group: The Torrox Spanish History Group enjoyed their first day trip out to the Medina Azahara. We had a very modern 55 seater coach with an excellent driver. The scenery along the way was spectacular. We arrived at the Medina c10.30am and saw the excellent video as well as the museum both complimented by good English translations. We then took the shuttle bus to the ruins. We were also very lucky with the weather, it was a bright and sunny day. Bearing in mind it had been raining the day before and rain was forecast for the day after! We then went into the city of Cordoba for a well earned lunch.
The Torrox Spanish History Group meets every first Tuesday of the month at El Parquesol in El Morche at 11am.
The aim of the group is for members to explore both the local History as well as history on a much wider scale. In that way we can better understand the existing social, political, religious and economic conditions of the Spanish People.
Our next meeting will be on the 4th December. Keith (Rockall) will complete his series of talks on the Romans and I will give a brief overview of the life of Federico Garcia Lorca before a more in depth talk on the poet in March.
In January we will be taking an historical walk around the old part of Malaga.
Our February talk will be on the “Spanish History of Spices”
There will be further coach tours in the New Year. A trip around the Vega in Granada to where Lorca was born; where he grew up and where he was shot is planned as well as a trip to Italica in Sevilla the birthplace of the Roman Emperors Trajan and Hadrian.
If you would like to join the Torrox Spanish History Group then please email Patricia at patricianerja at hotmail dot come.

Disabled Parking Permits: Can someone please enlighten me as to the correct procedure to obtain a permit? I am now crippled with arthritis in the knees, can only walk a very short distance, and having gone to see a specialist at the Hospital, and receiving a 100 euro fine for parking on a disabled space, decided that enough is enough! Enquired from my GP, who didn’t seem to know much, beyond that one had to go to the local Ayuntamiento, and thence to Malaga. But there must be a simpler way, or at least someone who will do what is necessary for a fee. If anyone can assist with the necessary info, I shall be most grateful.

Rafa and Martha urgently needing a home: These two beautiful cats were rescued several years ago in Riogordo. Sadly their lovely owner has passed away after a devastating short illness. Rafa, is a black and white neutered male and is 8 years old. He is a very friendly, loving and calm cat. Martha is a ginger neutered female and is 7 years old. Martha very timid and shy and relies 100% on Rafa. Both these cats are looking for a new home where they can carry on being together. They have already lost their adoptive mum, they can’t lose each other as well.
They are currently in Torre del Mar (Malaga province).
