Recommendations

Samothraki: We came across a cute little Greek Restaurant on the paseo in Torrox Costa. It is a little difficult to find as it is in a side lane off the paseo. The name is “Samothraki” and the address is Paseo maritmo, Bloque 80, Baja. The food and service is excellent and the prices very reasonable. We shall return and highly recommended.

AAR: “Axarquia Animal Rescue (AAR), is a charity, (no. 10567 Spain), manned solely by unpaid volunteers, that rescues abandoned and mistreated animals in the Axarquia region. We do not have a holding kennels, so when an animal comes into our care, we have to find foster carers for them, until our caseworkers can find them their permanent home. The role of the foster carer is therefore vital to our work and we are always seeking more of these wonderful people to care for our ever increasing workload. If you can help us, please contact Tracy Della, Torre del Mar, on axarquia-rescue@hotmail.com.

Restaurant Recommendation: Madras Curry House, Torrox Costa
This family run restaurant opened earlier this year and serves the best Indian/Nepalese food I’ve ever tasted! The food is cooked by two uncles, one cooks the curry and the other tandoori with front of house run by Deepak and his aunt. They all speak English. Carry outs also available. Please please give it a try as business is very slow and they need support to succeed. Someone else said it’s the best Indian in Costa Del Sol! Try it and see for yourself. The restaurant is on the main N340 road through Torrox Costa at the Santander roundabout. Gail, Torrox Costa , kincraig25 @ gmail . com

Pets

Four Kittens for adpotion: were found at Torrox Costa rubbish bins, abandoned in an old fruit crate. They are all males and between 10 and 12 weeks old. Since 6 weeks they live in a foster home, but desperately need to find permanent homes. They eat dry food and use the Litter Box. They are very lovely and calmly kittens that love to play and being cuddled. We will help with sterilisation if and when they are old enough. More pics on request. If you can help, please contact:

Advice Wanted, Funds for UK non-residents: Could any reader share their experiences of continuing to have UK PEPs or ISAs following tax-residency outside the UK. My understanding is that one can continue to hold such assets provided that they were started before leaving. Of course, all income has to be declared to the new residency in line with double-taxation agreements.

We will also be discussing our trip in October to the Medina Azahara (the shinning city) which lies just outside of Cordoba. The Medina Azahara is the ruins of a vast fortified Moorish medieval palace built by Abd-ar-Rahman III (912–961) c936 the first Umayyad Caliph of Cordoba. The Medina is located just west of the city of Cordoba. It was a medieval Moorish town and the de facto capital of Al Andalus. The city included ceremonial reception halls, mosques, administrative and government offices, gardens, a mint, workshops, barracks, residences and baths.
