La Marina Advertiser is a FREE community magazine celebrating local culture, commerce and creativity.
Originally established in 2005 in Gran Alacant - the Gran Alacant Advertiser has helped hundreds of local businesses over the two decades it has been operating.
We are delighted to grow our community into La Marina Urb, La Marina Pueblo and San Fulgencio.
We are MORE than just an advertising magazine - bringing local news and local businesses to local people.
Editor's note
Phew! Summer is here and it's getting hot out there so shut the doors and windows, crank up the air-con and sit down, put your feet up and have a browse through the magazine!
Pleased to say that La Marina Advertiser is growing with more copies distributed and more advertisers coming on-board so thanks to them and, dear reader, to you.
As always, if you're a local group or charity, or if you've just got a story you want to tell, we'd love to hear from you!
In San Fulgencio village you can also walk in and ask for a Digital Certificate which provides a secure way to access many government services and websites in Spain online so it is a useful document for residents and expats in San Fulgencio.
In both Townhalls you have the Registry Department. Here you can register any complaints, apply for Minor Works licences, register your animal, register on the Electoral Roll at certain times and also register on the municipal census called the Padron. This records all the people who habitually reside in San Fulgencio. The padron is essential if you want to access any help through Social Services. It provides an official count of the population for each municipality, which determines the level of funding and public services provided. EU citizens must renew their padrón registration every 5 years, while non-EU foreigners must renew every 2 years if they don't have long-term residency.
As I said earlier, Social Services are based in the Civic Centre but they are also regularly available in the Townhall on Urbanisation Marina-Oasis. Again, you can make an appointment by visiting Seda Electrónica,
selecting 'Servicios Sociales' and then selecting who you wish to see. You can also call them on 633 409 861.
There are other services available at the Town Halls such as Justiprop (a free legal service) and you can also see a representative of SUMA.
You can make an appointment to access any of the above departments and services by ringing the main town hall on 966 79 42 01. They also have a Whatsapp number on 610 630 269.
There are other services I haven't had the chance to mention but will try and include them in future articles.

Pop in on one of our 'ROLL UP'days - every Tuesday & Thursday
I am pleased to report, that La Marina Bowls Club has won the Hurricane Division of the Levante Lawn Bowls Summer League and we have been promoted to the Spitfire Division (which in theory is the top division!).
After a tense struggle against our nearest rivals Country Bowls we managed to obtain the results needed that took us over the line and to league victory. Players who represented the club throughout the Summer campaign are pictured below, and now the Summer League has concluded, we can all look forward to early October and the start of the Winter League. Bowling will continue between now and October with our Club days on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am and there is always the opportunity to play during the evenings when the temperature is a little cooler!
I am also pleased to report that Club members attended the birthday celebration of one of our club stalwarts Margaret Sadler at the Pool Bar on Saturday 15th June. A great night was had by all, and Margaret had all her family and friends over from the UK, including her granddaughter who was celebrating her 16th birthday. Congratulations to you both and thank you Margaret for a fantastic evening. Thanks to Sandra and all the staff at the Pool complex for all their hard work.
By the time this issue goes to press, we will have celebrated our monthly social night at the Sports Bar, with over 100 people attending a night of music and dancing with "WOODY", one of the best entertainers on the Costa Blanca. Report and pictures in August issue.
If you would like to give lawn bowls a try, come along to the Club and have a go, new members are always welcome. Ring Barry on 641 873 985 for more information.
