Los Arenales del Sol (in Valencian Els Arenals del Sol) is the name of a beach and small town belonging to Elche just to the north of Gran Alacant towards Alicante. With a registered population of 1,767 inhabitants (where are they all in winter?) but it is mostly an area of sec-ond homes so its population increases dramatically during the summer when there are plenty of shops, restaurants and commercial activity going on. With almost three kilometres of fine white sand, the beach of Arenales del Sol is one of the most stunning on the Alicante coast, both for the quality of its water and the sea life moving through it. It also boasts embryonic dunes, con-stantly shifting in the breeze and just nearby is the nature reserve of the Clot de Galvany, a wetland located between the urban areas of Arenales del Sol and Gran Alacant.In the Clot de Galvany visitors enjoy a pleasant walk in nature and surrounded by history, and for those with the urge, a spot of bird watching. However, the reserve was almost of victim of the real estate boom in the area during the 70’s when the whole place started to dry out. Fearing the worst, in the late 70s seri-ous drainage works and earthworks that altered its peculiar topography were car-ried out and natural functionality even-tually returned, mainly thanks to con-cerned locals and with pressure from environmental groups.

Near to the towns of El Altet and Bal-sares and within their rural boundaries Arenales enjoys a wonderful spot on the Mediterranean coast and its beaches extend to over 4 km. just 15 km from

Elche, 5 km from El Altet International Airport and 11 km from the capital of the province, Alicante itself it is easy to see why it is so popular in the summer al-though the Los Arenales del Sol beach was virtually untouched until the 1950’s when a hotel was built (Durá Bañuls was the promoter of the magnificent hotel as it was at the time) and the first build-ings began to go up built by Juan Garcia Garcia. Although the hotel was declared bankrupt, and left to ruin in the 80s, (it has recently been pulled down after many years existing as an ‘eyesore’ on thief beachfront) it is now being replaced by bars and businesses that will all enjoy a privileged location on the beachfront.

In the late 90s and early 2000’s the re-gion saw strong growth in the construc-tion industry and so began the arrival on the ‘hill’ of many new apartments and detached houses – still mostly occupied mainly during the summer.Arenales holds a big summer market (between 15 June and 15 September) Tuesday and Friday afternoon, where shoppers can browse in the evening sun at the many varied stalls selling clothes and much more, and there are plenty selling good quality shoes from nearby Elche .

The place is deal for windsurfing (there are marked areas for this and you can rent the necessary equipment on the beach) and other sports and activities or for just chilling out on the sand and then strolling to a beachfront bar or res-taurant for nourishment. Just don’t go in winter...unless you like being on your own!

You’ve just arrived in Spain, full of excite-ment and ideas about the shape your new life is going to take. In short, you haven’t yet removed the rose tinted glasses ready to take on the harsh realities that may be facing you. One of the first things on your list is a cute little puppy! Or a kitten if that’s your thing –as it’s not my thing we’ll stick to dogs for the sake of this article – though the same principles do apply to cats.Don’t do it, please don’t do it. At least don’t do it just yet….

Almost everyone who moves out here lives through a honeymoon period for the first six months at least, before reality sets in. Un-less you came over with a serious wedge, there will be a reality check at some point. Setting up a business can be very difficult, or, worse still, if you are looking for employ-ment you may well find there is very little to be had. Even with the ‘wedge’ I mentioned, homesickness and missing family can take its toll on many.It might feel like everything is rosy, but it’s almost certain you will hit a wall at some point. Please wait until you’ve been through that, or are sure it’s not coming before think-

ing about taking on a dog. If you can’t wait that long, ask yourself one simple question.If I have to leave, can or will I take my new pet with me?If you end up leaving your new dog with one of the many charities that work hard to take up the slack – your name will be vili-fied amongst the expat community for all eternity. We’ve all seen so many people do just this. It’s callous. Would you leave your children?

It’s not fair to the dog (or cat), it’s unsettling to the animal, and highly unfair to the peo-ple who voluntarily give their own time, and often money, to deal with the many thou-sands of abandoned animals in Spain. There are no excuses…..

Before getting a dog in Spain, here are a few things to think about…• Ask yourself ‘Am I staying? And if I go back is the dog staying with me for life?’ You aren’t fit to own a dog if the answer is no.• Don’t buy from a breeder – there are so many perfectly good dogs looking for a home who might die if you ignore them. Most of the charities do an incredible job –

and are massively over populated.• Have you owned a dog, and are you con-fident around them? If not, pick something with a suitable temperament that’s easy to handle.• Be open to breeds, some of the local dogs (like Podencos) are beautiful animals and hard to place for the rescue charities. Never dismiss a ‘mutt’ either; cross-breeds tend to be healthier from my experience.• If you are fixed on a particular breed, wait. Don’t buy. Eventually what you are looking for will turn up for you.• Are you willing to keep up with vaccina-tions, pay vet bills, have the dog sterilised and make sure EVERYTHING on the dog passport is kept up-to-date in case the un-foreseen happens?• If you are a dog lover and do go for it, expect to end up with more. Everyone does one way or another!Don’t rush into pet ownership, please be re-sponsible about it. Dogs (and cats) deserve to be treated like family – not as lifestyle ac-cessories to be discarded when they become inconvenient.

A thirty minute drive inland from the Costa Blanca coast lies a hidden gem of historical importance. If you have ever wanted to ex-plore the history of the Elche area, and have that history relayed to you by local school-children, you really should visit the Museo Escolar Pusol which is located on the CV-857 close to the village of Matola, about half way between Catral and Elche.As a child I used to watch a TV programme called How We Used to Live. I learned so much about British history from that. I re-member being particularly fascinated by houses from days gone by and the lifestyles lived within.The Pusol school does something similar through a series of dioramas depicting life

in the Elche area through-out the y e a r s . It is still an actual s c h o o l and if you are lucky enough to be there when the s c h o o l -c h i l d r e n are acting as guides, you will

have a

completely unique history lesson, and an in-tense Spanish lesson to boot! If your Span-ish isn’t up to it, don’t worry, because eve-rything is self-explanatory and the animated kids just add to the richness of the visit.The museum contains everything from a t r a d i - t i o n a l f a r m - h o u s e kitchen through to a 1 9 5 0 s n e w s - s t a n d w h e r e you can f o l l o w the for-t u n e s of Elche Football Club in old copies of Marca . F r o m wine makers to hat makers, it is a journey through time, but all completely local. It was fascinating to learn about how water for irri-gation was sold by the hour, something that still happens today. As a teacher myself, I love to see old-fashioned classrooms. I can’t imagine actually teaching in that manner. How did anyone actually learn anything? Beyond the traditional ice-cream cart is a mesmerising toy shop. The grocery store is a veritable treasure trove of memories, and the cinema is certainly a place to reminisce the bygone age of Clark Gable and Ava Gard-ner. The scary part for me though, is seeing things from my childhood in a museum!Outside you can wander around the garden where the children are taught about culti-vating crops and growing fruit. An extra gold star will be awarded to anyone who can identify the small but succulent spherical fruit which I was able to try!!The museum is open Monday – Friday from 0900 – 1330 during the summer months.

During the rest of the year it is also open in the af-ternoons from 1600 - 1900. You won’t miss out at week-ends and on holi-days ei-ther as it is open f r o m 1100 – 1 4 0 0 . B e s t c h e c k b e f o r e you visit t h o u g h , and the c o n t a c t details are all on their webs i t e : h t tp: / /www.museopusol.com/. At just €3 it’s tremen-dous value and you won’t re-gret your visit.

Football is the most popular choice of sport

for around 250 million players in around

200 countries, but once you get into your

30s, the beautiful game loses its attraction

due to injuries or reduced speed and mobil-

ity. However, here in Algorfa, you can play

football well into your 70s and beyond – as

long as you walk and don’t run, that is!

Walking football has become increasingly

popular in the UK over the last few years,

and now it’s available in Algorfa, courtesy

of organiser Mike Cooper and sponsors

Lo Crispin Tavern. Mike started the team

around a year ago, and the original mem-

bers all came from Lo Crispin. However,

as the word spread, people from other Al-

gorfa urbanisations, and the village itself,

became interested. Although the team is

called Lo Crispin Tavern Walking Football

Team, and bar owner David sponsors the

team shirts, the guys are happy to welcome

anyone from the local area who wants to

get fit and have fun.

You don’t have to be fit – or even a former

football player – to play walking football,

but you do need to be over 55, with a sense

of fun and a willingness to join in, because

walking football is as much about the so-

cial side as it is about the game itself. Not

everyone wants to play golf or swim, but

if you’re a guy over 55 who’d like to be a

little more active, walking football could be

just the thing for you. There’s no upper age

limit – the youngest team member – Dean

Patterson of La Finca – is just 55, while the

oldest player at the moment is one of the

many Roys, whose birth certificate says

he’s 73!

I went along to the Algorfa Stadium recent-

ly to see what it’s all about, along with our

friends Larry and June, who were visiting.

Larry’s just shy of 79, and an avid Spurs

supporter, but it’s been more than 30 years

since he last made contact with a football

in earnest. However, when he realised they

were a man short, he was on the pitch

faster than Paul Gascoigne chasing his next

drink.

Walking football does what it says on the

tin – you walk but don’t run, and keep one

foot on the ground at all times, with the

ball below waist level. It’s a non-contact

sport, so the risk of injury is minimal. It’s

played in 15 minute sessions, and if there

are enough players, you can substitute as

and when necessary. If all this sounds a bit

soft, don’t be fooled – this is serious exer-

cise. When Dean took along his neighbour

Patrick, he had aches in muscles he didn’t

even know existed for several days after

the session, and he’s just 56 and consid-

ers himself fit. Larry wasn’t keen to admit

it, but he suffered for a few days as well.

However as Mike told me – or Cooperman

as he is known to his team mates – it’s only

natural to expect a little stiffness and sore-

ness at first, particularly if it’s been a while

since you last exercised.

Being the diligent investigative reporter

I am, I accompanied the team back to Lo

Crispin Tavern for the after match refresh-

ments, and asked the guys why they en-

joyed walking football so much. For most

of them, the social side is just as impor-

tant as the fitness aspect. Too many people

think Spain is all about sun, sea and san-

gria. That’s okay for a holiday, but it can

get a bit monotonous when you live here,

to say nothing of the damage it can do to

your skin and your liver. All the guys have

nicknames, and Tom Tit – don’t ask! – said

for him, it was all about keeping fit and be-

ing friendly. For him, the Lo Crispin team

are ‘In a league of our own,’ even though

they don’t play in a walking football league,

as they believe it can get a bit too serious.

The social life is good too – there’s a sum-

mer barbecue, refreshments after every

game, and an end of year dinner, where,

like all the best football clubs, the awards

are handed out. International Player of the

Year caused controversy, not to say hilarity.

Lars, aka the Swedish Chef, thought he’d

walk it – pun intended! - as he was the only

non Brit in the team. However, his English

is perfect – unlike Tynesider Billy, who took

the award because nobody can understand

a word he says!

The Lo Crispin Walking Football Team meet

on Mondays between 4.00 and 5.00 pm, and

Thursdays between 10.30 am and noon. If

you’d like to join in, or just watch with the

WAGS (wives and girlfriends), just turn up

at the Algorfa stadium, or email Cooperman

at [email protected]. You’ll get a

warm welcome and have a fun time with a

great bunch of guys. What’s not to love?

It’s certainly been a full on few

months! I’ve been so busy with

one thing or another I’ve hardly

had time to sit down and write!

You may or may not know that due

to personal circumstances I have

had to move back to the UK with

my family. Yes, it was a struggle

at first, learning to adapt to every-

body being polite all the time and

saying “sorry!” a lot, but you get

used to it after a while!

So, what have I achieved since I

arrived on home shores at Christ-

mas? Well, after feeling negative

about a lot of things, I have com-

pleted a college course, gained a

qualification, got myself a little

part time job, my girls are thriv-

ing at school here, they’re get-

ting awards left, right and centre,

joined an after school karate club

and they’ve done more here in the

last three months than they did in

the last three years in Spain! I

have been in touch with fellow “re

pats” and they agree that life isn’t

so bad here after all.

So, we like a moan about the

weather, (but that’s a ‘British’

thing to do, agreed?) we aplogise

ALL the time and we mind our p’s

and q’s. But that’s who we are.

We’re a polite bunch most of the

time, but I have to chuckle at the

health and safety regulations. It’s

gone mad! For example, here’s

one. The window cleaner cannot

have a ladder anymore because

he may fall and hurt himself, and

has to use his squeegee thing on

the end of a long pole to reach up-

stairs windows! Gotta laugh! And

the checkout girls asking if it’s

“ok” to charge 5p for a carrier bag!

And funnier still, certain custom-

ers complaining about the charge!

The self-service scanners at the

supermarkets are a bit of a chal-

lenge sometimes as well. If you’re

one who suffers from social anxi-

ety and you don’t like to talk to

anyone, these are great until they

refuse to scan a particular item

and you have to call the customer

service person.

But at least they know how a

roundabout works!

So, I’ll be observing how life works

over this way, and pointing out the

differences after being away for so

long.

Looking forward to next month!

Spring is coming!

Until then,

Adios, amigos

Letter from Santa Pola

By Brian Lehaney

I managed to retire a bit early, and having previously done a fair bit of homework on this area and visited a few times I opted to move to Santa Pola. I like the weather, life is less costly for me here, I love the area, and I wanted somewhere that was not an English enclave. Please do not think I am being critical of

anyone, it is a personal choice. I want to learn Spanish and learn about the Spanish and the Spanish culture. I can cycle here and I can fish, in lovely surroundings and in glorious weather.I decided to rent and when I arrived on 10 March I was so excited I took a couple of photos from my flat, copies of which are below. I am lucky enough to overlook both Club Náutico and Gran Playa. I remember it being a lovely day, with the temperature around 200.

I had read all about the Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE), the Tarjeta de la Seguridad Social, the Empadronamiento and the Tarjeta Sanitaria. Suffice to mention for now that on 29 March I obtained my NIE and opened a Spanish bank account. The NIE was surprisingly quick, but I had help. My appointment was for 10.00 and we were seen on the dot at 10.45.

I also signed up for Spanish lessons at the Centro Cívico Y Social. These are incred-ibly good value. They are on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, an hour and a half a time. If anyone is interested I would be happy to give you more information. After hiring an electric-assisted bike a couple of times I took the plunge and bought one that was a year old. I take pride in now having done over 300km in five weeks. The most frequent cycling route that I use is along the promenade to the chain at Santa Pola del Este. This is 10km there and back, with lovely little coves and views of Isal de Tabarca. I sometimes go further to the little chapel - Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Rosario (Cala de la Virgen), which makes for a 20km round trip.

Well, that was my introduction. I hope to share more with you over time about my fishing, cycling, Spanish language and so on.If you want to comment on anything or want to know more, you can contact me at: [email protected]. Put FAO: Brian Lehaney in the subject line please. ¡Hasta luego!

About Alicante

Amongst the most notable features of the city are the Castle of Santa Bárbara, which sits high above the city, and the port of Alicante. The latter was the subject of bitter controversy in 2006–2007 as residents battled, successfully, to keep it from being changed into an industrial estate.The Santa Bárbara castle is situated on Mount Benacantil, overlooking the city. The tower (La Torreta) at the top, is the oldest part of the castle, while part of the lowest zone and the walls were constructed later in the 18th century.The promenade Explanada de España, lined by palm trees, is paved with 6.5 million marble floor tiles creating a wavy form and is one of the nicest prome-nades in Spain. The Promenade extends from the Port of Alicante to the Gran Vía and ends at the famous statue of Mark Hersch. For the people of Alicante, the promenade is the meeting place for the traditional Spanish paseo, or stroll along the waterfront in the evenings, and a venue for outdoor musical con-certs. At the end of the promenade is a monument by the artist Bañuls of the 19th century.Barrio de la Santa Cruz is a colourful quarter of the old city, situated on the south-west of Santa Bárbara castle. Its small houses climb up the hill leading to the walls and the castle, through narrow streets decorated with flags and tubs of flowers.L'Ereta Park is situated on the foothills of Mount Benacantil, on the way to the castle. It runs from the Santa Bárbara castle down to the old part of Alicante and consists of several levels, routes, decks and rest stops which offer a pano-ramic view overlooking the city.

The Legend

Alicante was once ruled by an Moorish king and the king had a daughter named Cantara, he wanted her to marry as soon as possible and so he found two suitors. One was named Ali, the other Almorado. Rather than permitting Cantara to choose her hus-band, the king gave the two men tasks to complete. Ali needed to find a way to bring fresh water to the city while Almorado needed to travel to the Far East and retrieve a variety of spices. While Almorado was away working on his task, Ali stayed in the city and began to woo Cantara and rather than working, he would write her poetry and love letters. Ali and Cantara eventually fell in love and once Almorado re-turned with his bounty and the king realised that Ali failed to complete his task, the king chose Almorado to marry Cantara. However, because Cantara was in love with Ali, she could not bear to think of marrying Almorado. And so on the day of the wedding Cantara went to the top of the Castle and jumped off. When Ali heard this he went to the top and followed suit. The king became very depressed and realised the error of his ways and declared that in order to always remember Ali and Cantara, he would chang the name of the great city to Alicante (Ali+Cantara= Alicante). Locals say that you can see the outline of his face in the side of the mountain, always looking for his daughter and her love. ..

About Alicante

Amongst the most notable features of the city are the Castle of Santa Bárbara, which sits high above the city, and the port of Alicante. The latter was the subject of bitter controversy in 2006–2007 as residents battled, successfully, to keep it from being changed into an industrial estate.The Santa Bárbara castle is situated on Mount Benacantil, overlooking the city. The tower (La Torreta) at the top, is the oldest part of the castle, while part of the lowest zone and the walls were constructed later in the 18th century.The promenade Explanada de España, lined by palm trees, is paved with 6.5 million marble floor tiles creating a wavy form and is one of the nicest prome-nades in Spain. The Promenade extends from the Port of Alicante to the Gran Vía and ends at the famous statue of Mark Hersch. For the people of Alicante, the promenade is the meeting place for the traditional Spanish paseo, or stroll along the waterfront in the evenings, and a venue for outdoor musical con-certs. At the end of the promenade is a monument by the artist Bañuls of the 19th century.Barrio de la Santa Cruz is a colourful quarter of the old city, situated on the south-west of Santa Bárbara castle. Its small houses climb up the hill leading to the walls and the castle, through narrow streets decorated with flags and tubs of flowers.L'Ereta Park is situated on the foothills of Mount Benacantil, on the way to the castle. It runs from the Santa Bárbara castle down to the old part of Alicante and consists of several levels, routes, decks and rest stops which offer a pano-ramic view overlooking the city.

The Legend

Alicante was once ruled by an Moorish king and the king had a daughter named Cantara, he wanted her to marry as soon as possible and so he found two suitors. One was named Ali, the other Almorado. Rather than permitting Cantara to choose her hus-band, the king gave the two men tasks to complete. Ali needed to find a way to bring fresh water to the city while Almorado needed to travel to the Far East and retrieve a variety of spices. While Almorado was away working on his task, Ali stayed in the city and began to woo Cantara and rather than working, he would write her poetry and love letters. Ali and Cantara eventually fell in love and once Almorado re-turned with his bounty and the king realised that Ali failed to complete his task, the king chose Almorado to marry Cantara. However, because Cantara was in love with Ali, she could not bear to think of marrying Almorado. And so on the day of the wedding Cantara went to the top of the Castle and jumped off. When Ali heard this he went to the top and followed suit. The king became very depressed and realised the error of his ways and declared that in order to always remember Ali and Cantara, he would chang the name of the great city to Alicante (Ali+Cantara= Alicante). Locals say that you can see the outline of his face in the side of the mountain, always looking for his daughter and her love. ..

The October Press

Having stumbled across The October Press while walking through Alicante’s Casco An-tiguo I was intrigued by the quaint little sign that adorns the doorway that leads into this marvellous place. Wonderfully decorated with an eye on com-fort the place serves good fresh coffee and drinks and snacks in a relaxed atmosphere created by the owners. Don’t walk straight past as I almost did though and put it in your GPS to be sure to get there as you’ll have missed one of the treats of Alicante if you leave without visiting.And why ‘The October Press’? Inside you’ll see the old printing press (still used) tucked away behind a tasteful glass wall.

Alicante Water Museumbetter than you’re thinking!

This museum is located in the old quarter at one of the entrances to the park Ereta at the base of Mount Benacantil. Just look up and you will see Santa Barbara Castle look-ing down on you. Historically the water mu-seum is located in Plaza del Puente because the rain water ran from Benacantil’s foothill via the aqueduct, then it crossed the plaza into the wells where the water was stored.

These Wells of Garrigós or ‘wells’ are situ-ated next to the museum and are steeped in history. They are thought to date back to the 16th Century, at least one of them originating in Moorish times, although most work was carried out in the 19th Century by Antonio Garrigós hence it the name. The wells were used to store rainwater and get Alicante-through frequent droughts suf-fered by the city in ancient times. Until the

wells were built water was piped in from the nearby town of Sax. The wells used to be hidden in the rock but now you can see them after they were excavated and you’ll see that they could hold huge volumes of water.The museum of water is displayed over 3 floors and shows visitors the history of wa-ter in Alicante and also an exhibition of pot-tery and ceramic vases.

Santa María Basílica

Dating back to the 14th Century, the Basili-ca was built on the side of the Great Mosque and is distinctive as it only has a single nave, without a cross and with side chapels located between the buttresses in six bays. The Basilica has changed a lot in its time with a series of rooms and elements that have been added over time to the original construction including the impressive 18th century Rocoo high altar and the 16th cen-tury baptismal font and don’t miss (hard to do as its huge!) the 1653 Valencian baroque organ.

For architectural fans take a look at the doorway with sculptor Juan Bautista Borja’s impression of the Virgin Mary.As I said the place has always been chang-ing and the present is no different as the start of the 1990’s various restoration pro-jects have taken place in the building.

Explanada de España

The promenade Explanada de España, lined by palm trees, is paved with 6.5 million marble floor tiles creating a wavy form and is one of the nicest promenades in Spain. It extends from the Port of Alicante to the Gran Vía and ends at the famous statue of Mark Hersch. For the people of Alicante, the promenade is the meeting place for the tra-ditional Spanish paseo, or stroll along the waterfront in the evenings, and a venue for outdoor musical concerts. At the end of the promenade is a monument by the artist Bañuls of the 19th century. It was the idea of the town architect José Guardiola Picó who, in 1867, came up with the ideal area to enhance the traditional Spanish custom of the ‘paseo’ (an evening stroll) and by using dramatic marble tiles depicting the waves of the Mediterranean and four rows of palm trees offering shade even in the heat of summer, he really did make something special.

For proper cleaning and use of an awning you need to follow these tips. Acrylic fabrics are coated with TEFLON®, this finish protects the fabric, forming a barrier that reinforces and adds water repel-lence, and decreases the adhesion of dirt while allowing air to continue to pass through. However, some environmental agents such as acid rain or bird droppings can damage the coating or frame.

In case of rain Although the awning is not a specially designed rain element, if it can withstand a little drizzle, this requires that the awning is tilted enough, at least 20 °, to let out rainwater. We avoid accumulation as that may involve a gradually breaking or sagging awning. In case of severe and / or persistent rain an awning must be put away to prevent damage. If the awning is put away while wet it will not do it any good as the formation of mould and damp will shorten the life of the awning.

How to clean an awning The awning, naturally, gets dirty due to continued exposure to weather, pollution, and rain containing dirt and microorganisms that may remain as a stain when the water evaporates. We there-fore suggest some cleaning methods depending on the type and degree of impregnation of the stain.

1. To remove dry dirt use a vacuum. It is very important to always perform this operation when dry; it really should not be performed when it is still wet. This method is less corrosive clean-ing to avoid damaging the coating or sizing. First try this method before any other. 2. If the stain does not disappear in step 1 we suggest a soft brush or sponge and using a neutral gel with lots of water. Never use a lot of soap, for its subsequent removal will be difficult and never abrasive soaps as the coating of the awning can be dam-aged. Do not use hot water. Steps 1 and 2 are the most desirable because they do not cause any.3. If steps 1 and 2 fail then repeat the operation of the second by filling a sponge with a mild solvent called tricolorethane and brushing gently over the stain. • CAUTION !!! Here we cannot guarantee that the coating will not be partially damaged. Avoid step 3 whenever possible.

Also, if steps 1 and 2 will not work is very likely that the stain cannot be removed because it could have been produced by some aggressive / abrasive product that has damaged the material and the tissue has lost some of its peculiarities. Remember to use proper cleaning soap on your awning, so that it stays in top condi-tion for longer.

Isn’t Life Wonderful In the Sun!

Or Is It?

We all experience those odd feelings of uncertainty, worry and insecurity and soon pull ourselves together. Yet there are those who are unable to find that strength, and this is where WE, the Samaritans in Spain, offer a friendly listening ear.

As our organisation expands, we urgently need additional volunteers; people who want to give something back into the community which we are happy to live in.

We are looking for English speakers, who live in or around Gran Alacant and who are prepared to either train as ‘listeners’ or who would like to become ‘friends of the Samaritans’ and help with our fund raising. Just a few hours a week, or a month, is all that we ask.

Please help us by contacting our General Manager [email protected]

You would take your car for an ITV/MOT to get the stamp of approval. Well now consider your body, its your best friend, give it some TLC, its with you for all your life...

NUTRITION

Getting fit and healthy is not just about exercise, it is also about the food you eat. The foods you eat can have an effect on your health. Some days you come home from work and the last thing you want to do is cook a meal. So with your PTinthesun Personal Trainer we look at your food lifestyle to help you make healthier choices.

GYM WORKOUTSThis can include a wider variety of equip-ment and exercises.Most gyms will let you train with your Per-sonal Trainer so we can use your existing

gym to train.Cardio training to improve breathing and heart training. Resistance to improve strength and muscle tone and burn the body fat. Core and flexibility and postural improvements.

OUTDOOR TRAININGGetting fit, with people like yourself who prefer to train outdoors is a really fun way to achieve the fitness levels you set and achieve.

Whether you are training for the next mar-athon or just trying to catch the next bus. So why not book a group session between friends for outside exercises. Boot camp, boxing , running club, a bike ride, a gentle walk, a jog or even a run.

withCreating an Angel Altar is a place of tran-

quillity where you can communicate with

the celestial reams invoking their com-

bined energies and unconditional love.

Together with the angelic offerings on the

altar, you will have a place to ask for di-

vine help through meditation, thought &

celebration.

Primitive Man

The first angel alters were used as far

back as at least Neolithic times and al-

though the items placed on the altar as

well as the alter itself were crude af-

fairs this did not deter from the fact that

primitive man believed in other-worldly

beings of love and light. Man then, lov-

ingly made each artefact himself which

was then placed onto the altars as they

paid homage to those within another di-

mension.

God’s & Goddesses

The angelic alters in Neolithic times would

have been dedicated to fertility Gods and

Goddesses such as the fertility God Ishtar

who was the ancient Goddess of Love and

War. She was better known as Aphrodite

and eventually became the most ambi-

tious Goddess worshipped by man.

Proof of Neolithic man dedicating their al-

ters to the Gods and Goddesses are found

by countless traces left behind by ancient

man, dug up by archaeologists and can

be found in museums all over the world.

These artefacts have a beauty of their

own and were obviously very magical.

So if primitive man was in touch with his

spiritual side and prayed to higher ener-

gies and the divine, they when shouldn’t

you?

Why create a home altar?

An angelic altar in your home is a won-

derful way to feel close to the angels. It

is a place of worship where you can open

you heart, mind, and express yourself

emotionally, spiritually and artistically.

By consciously creating an altar, you are

welcoming spiritual and magical expe-

riences into your life! The power of the

altar speaks for itself - It is a tangible

area which is a portal to serenity. Each

item is chosen by you and has therefore

been charged with your energies and love

– therefore raising the vibration of this

area and drawing the angels even closer

to you. Your Angel Altar will ensure the

presence of the angels.

My angel altars

People often look at me with such surprise

on their faces when I say I have an altar

in my home. It doesn’t mean that I live in

a converted Church! It is somewhere that

I can be at one with my Guardian Angel,

a sacred space where I can simply be.

Just think about it, the majority of your

life is spent at home and our homes re-

tain energy whether it is positive or nega-

tive. We have good memories in a home,

where we laugh and play, relax and cre-

ate a loving and comfortable living space

to come home to. However, sometimes

relationships break down or there can be

stress and upset in the home. Building

an altar in the home will help to dispel

negative residual energy and help you to

make life affirming decisions for the best

of all concerned.

My home!

Everyone who enters my home say how

positive the atmosphere in the house is,

which is created by the angels through

my angel altars. If you look around my

home you will see it is full of angels, el-

ementals such as unicorns and fairies as

well as pictures of power animals. I even

have a picture of one of my Spirit Guides

which hangs on the wall by my angel al-

tar.

My practical working altar

I have a couple of angel altar’s in my

home and both are in full use and each

of the items have been lovingly picked by

me and placed on my altar in honour of

the angels. I have a small working altar

in our conservatory which is a shelf oppo-

site the large open windows in the room

where I can see the garden in all its glory.

I wanted the altar in here because it com-

bines the energy of the angels and moth-

er nature, and the altar may be small but

it’s practical. The area is light, and I find

I write most of my meditations in here

for my angel workshops and spiritual de-

velopment classes - with the help of the

angels of course!

Angelorium

The altar in my meditation room is larg-

er, and I refer to it as my ‘Angelorium’. I

created this room and dedicated it to the

angels as my small angel altar grew when

I was bought more angel items as gifts

from loved ones. I have a table which is

full angelic crystals, angel figurines large

and small, and candles which have a

magical vibration of their own. The walls

are adorned with pictures of angels and

ascended masters and I proudly display

my angel magic and Angelic Reiki cer-

tificates in here, too. This room is, quite

simply, a magical haven of tranquillity

and as soon as anyone steps through the

room they say ‘wow’ as they look around,

and instantly say how lovely and peaceful

it ‘feels’. I can’t count the times where I

have seen someone relax right in front of

my eyes.

My angel altar’s are quite simply, the piv-

otal place in my home where I feel com-

forted, safe and at peace. I can’t imagine

my home without them.
