This is a very interesting video about what's going on in Torrevieja over the next few years. Some of the changes are imminent, others will take longer. Take a look.

I can recommend Karen unreservedly. Luna loved her stay with her, and was so settled she didn't even cry when I left her, she was too busy snuggling up to Karen's husband John on the sofa!

Karen only takes one dog at a time into her home, or two from the same family, so they get individual attention in a safe environment where the garden is fully dog proofed. When Luna stayed with her, she had special needs with food and medication, and Karen worked with me on that and generally treated Luna and myself like one of the family. I can't praise her care enough.

There's another great fiesta here in Algorfa at the weekend. Read all about it here. I'll be there on both days with some fabulous crystals for you to browse.

Last year, I was approached by a representative at the Algorfa Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) and asked if I would like to have a stall to sell my crystals at the September Arts And Cultural Encounter Fiesta, in the grounds of the iconic Ermita. I felt particularly privileged, because, unlike the pop-up m...

My latest blog post features a tasty idea for hot weather eating if you're fed up with regular salads. Try it and let me know what you think.

It’s been a record breaking summer, with temperatures as high as 49 degrees on some days. When it’s that hot, you really don’t feel like eating much, and you certainly don’t want to be slaving over a hot stove – at least I don’t! On top of dealing with the heat, I’ve also been fighting...

Did you know you can have a free main meal and cocktail on your birthday at Hotel Restaurant Bar Algorfa? Here's what you can look forward to.

I've been visiting the Hotel for breakfast ever since it opened, because at just €3.50 for the basic full English, it's not worth me buying all the stuff and cooking it just for me.

Have you seen what's happening at the Hotel Restaurant Bar Algorfa lately? Go and check it out soon.

Since the Truscott family purchased Hotel Algorfa almost three years ago, the place has undergone something of a transformation. From having less than a dozen rooms in suitable condition for receiving guests, all the Hotel’s rooms and apartments are now upgraded to a high standard, and even better...

It's getting warmer, and that can be bad news for your skin - and your pocket! But did you know you needn't pay north of €20 to heal and hydrate your skin? Read about it here:

A few years ago, my skin was suffering badly during the Spanish summer. It was nothing to do with the sun; I have Lupus, and it affects my skin, and that summer the mosquitos and flies were treating me like an All You Can Eat Buffet. I was itching all over, and my skin was […]

Fantastic offer from our fabulous community hotel. Make sure to tell your friends and family when they come over. It's even a good deal if you're on the doorstep for a lovely break at a fabulous venue. Well done to the Truscotts for coming up with this, and making it so easy and affordable to enjoy their hospitality. Share with anyone who deserves a break.
