´SPLENDOUR OF SPAIN¨, Music, Arts & Craft Festival Sat 4th & Sunday 5th 11am - 6pm
If you have a few hours to spare on the weekend, pop down to Casa La Pedrera the Grand Design House and soak up the atomosphere of the Music, Arts & Craft Festival. It runs all day until 6 and there is an opening and a closing performance both with a spanish flavour. If you have never experienced the true ´flamenco´ you need to be here at 4.00pm on Saturday to see the ´Gypsey King´ from Sevilla, who is the real deal. He has a huge spanish following and has never played to english before, so we need to show him that we can ´Fiesta´like the rest of them. So tell all your friends, there is plenty to see and do, craft fair, art exhibition, and for the kids pony, quad rides and our hay ride with trips to the lake. An all day bbq, plus wood fired paella in the true Valencian tradition. The raffle prizes truly amazing and includes hand made jewellery, paintings etc. & all those entering receiving a free sample of the spanish Liquor, Licquor 43... So much to do, see and hear,,, you cannot afford to miss it!!! We are less than 15 mins from Quesada, quickest way is jump onto the AP7 towards Categena, and take the next exit which is Los Montesinos, follow the signs for Orihuela/Bigastro and its just left after the Vista Bella/La Fortaleza Rest. or simply drive right through Los Montesinos, over the motorway again following the signs to Bigastr/Orihuela. There will be signs off the CV95 to turn into the CV950 just after the restaurants. See our website www.thingstodoinspain.info and click on contact us and then on find us or call 660816620... Jenni

school
Hi celebration cakes!
Just wondered how I get the kids in school, is it pretty straight forward we are coming in November, have no schooling sorted out. We are just taking the plunge!
Hi again, when we came over our oldest was almost 12, he was the one we was worried about the most with the language, but he learned it quicker than the younger two lol. If your living on Urb. La Marina there are school buses which take them into school. its relitavely easy to get them into school, but you all must have N.I.E. numbers, once you have these you just go to the the school with all your papers, i.e. passports, nie numbers, passport size photos of each child etc, and normally they start vurtually immediately.
hope this helps (p.s. take a translator with you tho, they do speak a little english but to save on time would be more easier for all if you took one, I have friends here who are fluent spanish who charge a minimal amount to do this).
Also amongst your paperwork you will need to take utility bill, padron or other forms of identitiy for where you live, thus enabling you to get free school buses to and from school.
All the best, if I can help in any other matters please let me know.
thanks for that, I dont even know how to get the N.I.E numbers??? but im sure because there are so many English people in La Marina someone?? will be able to help me when I get there. Im hoping anyway. Would you mind if I contact you nearer the time so maybe your friend could help once I get to the schools?
Thanks
Karen
Sorry one more question my youngest is Five,im not so sure about her getting on a school bus on her own, and I dont drive?? are there public buses that go to the schools?
dont worrie about your little one, children get on the bus as little as 3 years old, there is a monitor and a driver always on the bus. NIE numbers are quite straight forward, they are issued at Elche Police station and can take a few weeks, they were 18euros per person when we got ours, but that was over 3 years ago now. Iam sure once you arrive there are lots of people here who can help.

Long Term Rental Properties WANTED Urgently
If you have a property here in the La Marina area that you wish to rent out on a Long Term Rental basis please let us know. We have many clients waiting. If you own a Holiday Home here and only use it a few times a year - why not get an Income and rent it out ?? Please e-mail [email protected] with your phone number and we will get back to you. Ta very much everyone.............
I really am surprised that more owners don’t let out their properties that they are trying to sell. Seems crazy that so many sell at way below market price and often lose a great deal of money. This way, owners would get an income coming in for quite a few months while the market is picking up.
ELECTRICITY
Electricity conpanies in Spain must carry out meter readings every 2 months, the government has ruled. With the new rule, electricity companies will no longer be able to estimate consumption more than one month at a time - as it was doing - without express consent from the customer.
