Visitors at Age Care
ON Thursday February
23, our Age Care Calahonda group was honoured and delighted to receive VIP visitors from Mijas Town Hall.
The mayor of Mijas, Josele González, the councillor for Social Services, Hipólito Zapico, and the councillor for Foreigners, Arancha López all spent an entertaining morning with our Age Care members.
The mayor and his councillors walked around, chatting and taking a great interest in the activities on offer, including an Art Class, Spanish Class, various games of Dominoes, and of course every Tuesday a highly popular Chair Aerobics Class.
Following this very successfully filmed visit, it was broadcast later that day on Mijas television.
The Age Care Association has friendly groups meeting up to socialise in Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Calahonda, Coín and Alhaurin el Grande. In association with Age
Care, there is the Alzheimer and Dementia Support Group meeting twice monthly in Calahonda. The Age Care Association Charity Shop in El Zoco, Calahonda is staffed entirely by volunteers and opens Mondays to Fridays, 10am4pm.

THE historic Botanical Gardens of Malaga are renowned for their stunning collection of plants and trees from all over the world. But for the month of March, the gardens will also be home to an exciting art event featuring the work of four talented English artists.
From sculptures and drawings to ceramics, photography, acrylics, watercolours, and woodcuts, the exhibition promises to be a celebration of creativity and nature.
Judy Farrar’s sculptures and drawings are inspired by the shapes and forms found in nature, using a variety of materials to bring her creations to life.

GOOD news for travellers as AVE has now confirmed the first cheap highspeed train tickets between Malaga and Madrid have now arrived.
This comes as part of a project carried out by the private company Iryo, which is launching a route with two daily departures starting at €34.
The inaugural journey will take place on March 31.
Behind this is the private company Iryo, which has already put these tickets on sale. Both cities are already connected by Renfe, but this new way of travelling is char spired by the natural world, such as vases adorned with intricate leaf and flower patterns.
Photographer Yanina Temple’s work captures the beauty of the world around us. Her photographs are a celebration of nature, from sweeping landscapes to closeup shots of flowers.
