THE good performance of the foreign market has allowed the province of Alicante to extend the real estate positive market run a little longer.

In contrast to the 10 per cent drop recorded at national level in the sale and purchase of homes, Alicante closed the first quarter with a total of 13,662 transactions, 2.3 per cent more than in the same period last year, according to data from the Ministry of Transport, Mobil­ tween Madrid and Valencia from Monday June 26.

This is a decline that indicates not only the greater difficulties in accessing financing due to the Euribor, but also the decision of many families to postpone this expense, given the uncertainty of the economic situation.

SNOW WHITE has a vacancy for an Elf!

The Rojales Pantomime Group are ready to rehearse their next Christmas Pantomime production, Snow White and the Seven Christmas Elves, and find themselves an Elf short.

Please help! Snow White and the other six elves need you to join them to take part in this very funny Christmas show which they are hoping will raise lots of money for local charities.

Don’t worry if you’ve never acted before, join in the fun, meet some new people and do something very different.

Rehearsals recommence after the summer break in September and are held in Quesada.

Just as important, the Group are also looking to recruit backstage crew for the performances which will take place from December 14 to 16 at the Cardinal Belluga Theatre, San Fulgencio. If you don’t want to be on stage with the rest of the cast, helping backstage is just as much fun.
