Lieuwke Loth who runs the galeria Luz de la Vida in Competa has been traveling in the November month. She was invited to the 3rd International Art Symposium Chitrashaala in India. (www.http://chitrashaala.com/)

For 4 days all artists created art, they shared their experiences of their profession. The art symposium was the mean reason for Lieuwke to travel to India, but she also visited other parts of beautiful Rajasthan, like Udaipur, Pushkar, Jaisalmer. In Pushkar she celebrated with more then 1000 Indians the Camelfair and the holy full moon event.
Lieuwke will continue organising art events in Competa. For her next art Symposium LUZ she met interesting artists from Egypt, Thailand, Japan and India.
-The 30th of November at 6pm Lieuwke shows pictures of her travels, and tells about her experiences in the amazing country. She will also tell about the art symposium in India. Marga, who always caters the Symposia in Competa, will prepare Indian ‘Tapas’ for the evening and Lothar and Lukasz will make the evening complete with their ‘intuitive, Asian’ music on the hang and didgerido.
Feel very welcome to dive into Indian vibes this evening. Lets enjoy together a bit of exotic India in Competa! Sat 30/11 at 6pm -till 9 or 10pm

Recommendations
Air Conditioning: Thanks to all the responders, “Cooltech” the clear favourites. Booked. John/Torrox ; Johnmlovell at gmail dot com
Chimney Sweep Recommendation: We needed a sweep before the onset of winter knowing we had a hornet’s nest in there. Diego was originally booked for last Thursday but it was a bit wet for roof work! He came on Saturday despite being advised it was a bit windy. No problem, the only Spanish workman I have ever seen with a safety harness! He is a recommended worker, clean, prompt and effective not too expensive either.
