hospitality Mijas town hall has begun the comprehensive reform of Calles Nerja and Casarabonela in La Cala a project that includes the installation of new infrastructure and the elimination of architectural barriers to make the streets more accessible to pedestrians The work involves the replacement of the drinking water supply and sanitation networks and the installation of a new LED lighting system to improve energy efficiency and reduce gas emissions.The current pavements and road surfaces will be replaced and all signage will be changed and new urban furniture will also be installed The work is part of a project aimed at the overall improvement of the neighbourhood with a focus on the reorganisation of streets with high vehicle and pedestrian circulation "The final objective is to achieve an area that meets the accessibility criteria in which the presence of pedestrians is prioritised over that of vehicles," explained Mayor Ana Mata during a visit to the area on Monday The work has a budget of 407,468 euros and an execution period of four months The total number of inhabitants of Mijas and Fuengirola is during the summer months this population triples reaching a reality that exceeds 500,000 people This half a million inhabitants (temporary or permanent) will hardly have a single health centre open 24 hours a day which does not have a referral hospital despite the promises of various Andalusian executives usually had in the summer months the accident and emergency centres in La Cala de Mijas and Las Lagunas to cope with this demand although medical professionals had been warning for years that the situation was unsustainable Far from solving the problem ahead of what is expected to be a record summer in terms of visitor numbers in the province the regional ministry of health has announced that the centre in La Cala de Mijas will close its doors at 3pm every day from the 15 July until 15 September leaving the centre in Las Lagunas as the only alternative in the event of an emergency out of hours The only other option for these potential patients is to go to the emergency services of the Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella or the Hospital Clínico in Malaga The La Cala health centre has not always had 24-hour emergency services It was not until 2018 when the then PSOE regional government of Susana Díaz activated both this service and the ambulance service after years of demands from the opposition parties The delegate of the Malaga medical union on the Costa del Sol said that there is already an enormous "work overload" in this district "We must remember that it is an eminently touristy area because there are no plans for reinforcements or expansion" it is now that there should be more people working in the district but there are fewer staff to cope with the increased demand "Last year there were days when there weren't even enough doctors to go in the ambulances," De la Cruz stressed "So our forecasts for 2024 are more pessimistic because more tourists are coming and we will have fewer resources," he pointed out recalling that the month of July began with colleagues on holiday and no one had yet been hired the delegation of health in Malaga made public the organisation of the health district The centres of San Miguel and Arroyo de la Miel in the area of Torremolinos-Benalmádena Leganitos and San Pedro Alcántara in Marbella and Estepona Oeste in Estepona will remain open "providing normal care between 8am and 8pm" They also announced that the primary care emergency services (SUAP) in San Miguel San Pedro Alcántara and Estepona Oeste would remain open 24 hours a day This means that the centres of La Carihuela Sabinillas and La Cala will close at 15:00 another controversy has arisen with the Sabinillas health centre the centre did open during its normal opening hours for a few weeks last summer while the regional ministry strongly denies this and assures that the "only" change from one summer to the next is the closure of La Cala although without explaining the reasons or how they will face the summer under these circumstances the medical union itself denounced the situation of primary care in the district Antonio de la Cruz explained that his organisation had carried out a study completed on 30 April this year which revealed that 2024 would be a "disaster foretold" due to the increase in the population without taking into account the increase in tourism the health district currently has 285 family doctors with medical quotas and 105 doctors assigned to the six primary care emergency services According to the data of the study and "despite the many promises made by the management" the union claims that there has been an increase of 25,000 new users "without any of the promised quota reductions having been implemented" the Malaga medical union was already considering the need to incorporate 35 family doctors and five paediatricians "a number that has increased by far at the moment" due to the increase in population in the area 91.92 per cent of the family doctors have more than 1,500 users while 56 per cent of the paediatricians have more than 1,000 children assigned to them a social and taste extravaganza present the ideal cure for those post New Year’s Party hangovers with the new Bottomless Dubai-style Saturday Lunch menu owner and

the Balcón del Mar residential development on the seafront near La Cala de Mijas where the Senda Litoral coastal path in the Torrenueva area passes by part of the wooden walkway that forms the route at that point also broke away the damage remains on the beach with town hall saying it is the responsibility of the local residents to fix it although the damage bill is "high" according to town hall It was first thought that the landslide was a result of the rains which had fallen a few days earlier however it was later found to be the result of "a water leak in the meter room of the Balcones del Mar community of owners Residents had not detected the leak and the amount of water ended up causing the damage according to Mijas councillor Daniel Gómez the section of the wooden footbridge is still in the same spot forcing pedestrians and cyclists to divert around it via an adjacent service road Even more striking is the dent that the landslide made in the land on which the block of flats stands as well as some downed fences which used to surround the garden "The council cannot touch anything because all the damage has been caused by a third party," Gómez said He said it is up to the community of residents itself to hire the necessary machinery to remove the damage as well as to clean up the fallen part of the slope and carry out a reinforcement with rockfill and piling of the land before replacing the coastal path as it was before the water leakage "They already have an execution order and we know that they are willing to repair it," said Gómez "I am aware that they have requested several estimates because the work is costly and that they are in contact with the insurance companies with the intention of speeding up the process," he added The young man who barricaded himself inside a property in La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol on Monday afternoon has been arrested after a tense standoff apparently fired several shots at Guardia Civil officers who tried to negotiate with him to turn himself in and one of them was injured in the foot Last October he was shot five times in an apparent revenge shooting in Doña Lola He was left paralysed from the waist down and now moves around with the help of a wheelchair has been arrested several times by police for serious offences since he was under-18 The alarm was apparently raised by family members when they realised that the man was armed so they called for help from the Guardia Civil headquarters in Mijas a unit was assembled to try to get the young man to turn himself in Officers from the force’s rapid action group (GAR) went to the scene to negotiate but the individual - according to sources - responded by opening fire The tense situation has made it necessary to cordon off the entire area in which a strong security presence has been established A specialist intervention unit (UEI) was mobilised and sent from Madrid to the Costa del Sol The La Cala de Mijas Lions’ Alzheimer and dementia support

investigating after receiving five complaints from people who claimed to have received botched aesthetic treatment from the woman Their procedures consisted of Botox and hyaluronic acid injections as

euros is to carry out an extensive remodelling of the facility The successful bid must offer measures that maximise energy efficiency and sustainability “It is about responding to the need to rectify the wear and tear of the facilities and to provide it with a complementary infrastructure that adjusts to the reality of the large number of people who use this space so we must provide the municipality with infrastructures in accordance with its population density the first of which will be replacement of the grass The grass will be replaced with state-of-the-art artificial turf which the council said will have a “positive impact not only on the player's performance but also on the improvement of the image of the field” The first phase also includes replacement of the seven-a-side and 11-a-side goals The second phase includes the demolition of the current changing rooms and storage area which will be replaced with a new building with an administration and meeting room Sports councillor Mª Francisca Alarcón explained that the need for this intervention is necessary due to the deterioration of the pitch and because the current stands lack a covered area “which makes them impossible to use during inclement weather” La Cala de Mijas Lions hosted its Christmas fair and market in La Butibamba (Mijas) last weekend an annual festive gathering organised to further help those in vulnerable situations The market offered stalls tempting visitors with an array of festive goodies and decorations was inaugurated by the talented Drang drummers who entertained with a repertoire of Christmas favourites The event also had the participation of the Sur Pipes band along with a troupe of Scottish dancers; a demonstration by the local children’s gymnastics school; a flamenco performance by the Victor Rojas group; while Maxi had the audience jiving to the tunes of the ‘king of rock and roll’ There was also plenty to keep the youngsters occupied and rides on a tuk tuk driven by his elves Lions President Karen Blair thanked the foreigner’s department of Mijas town hall for their collaboration especially Katja Thirion and Laura Córdoba García who helped with the organisation on the day “The event was a great success and the funds raised will be used by the Lions to further support those in need throughout the area,” the association said in a statement there are still pleasures which money can't buy A pork sandwich on the beach at La Butibamba (and a siesta under a sunshade afterwards) With a product that seems crisis-proof and even war-proof (it has survived two: the War of Independence and the Civil War) in La Cala de Mijas has been run by five generations of the Porras family and doesn't appear to be worried about the constantly rising inflation rate A baguette big enough for two people and two soft drinks cost 7.80 euros Not even the most galloping CPI can spoil something that affordable product and ambience in this venta (the slot machine rattles away there are photos of the specialities on the walls and the TV is blaring at full volume as custom dictates) could not be more traditional millionaires and world-famous artists appreciating the virtues of their legendary pork tenderloin The democratic character of La Butibamba is part of its recipe for success and has a lot to do with its origins as a coaching inn in the early 19th century it was just a simple hut and there was nothing else here: no houses it was officially designated as a coaching inn and tobacco shop; and that was a good thing It was regulated by the government and was obliged to provide shelter and food for travellers no matter what time they turned up," says the present manager of La Butibamba who is married to the founder's great-grand-daughter who would drink wine from containers known as 'botes' and used the expression "Qué 'bamba' he cogido!" to indicate that they were drunk the establishment was much more than just a place to drink eat and stay: it was also where all the mail for people living in that area would be delivered La Butibamba has been famous for its 'lomo en manteca' (marinated pork tenderloin cooked in lard) from the start "That was how meat was preserved when there was nowhere cold to keep it," says Francisco Javier Sepúlveda this was the place that bandits and civil guards would come to eat They didn't normally coincide because the bandits were vigilant although more than one skirmish did occur within these walls "They say the famous Flores Arrocha once had to hide in the stables from the civil guard He hid behind a donkey but it bit him on the ear and he had to put up with the pain until the civil guards had gone that Flores Arrocha; he ran off into the hills after killing his father-in-law and three other relatives Years later they caught him and shot him in Marbella," says Sepúlveda In those romantic days in the early 19th century the famous bandit El Tempranillo also stopped off more than once at La Butibamba the bed in which the monarch had slept for one night was kept in the attic his entourage arrived to organise a bedroom for him in the attic of the house because there were no rooms here; the travellers slept where the animals were kept and after he had gone it remained here for months and months They had to get permission from the government official to move it," says Sepúlveda during one of the two times the building was demolished and then rebuilt La Butibamba also provided food for the early travellers to the Costa del Sol in the first half of the 20th century "even went into the kitchen" when he stopped off there on his way to Ronda and that solitary enclave became one of the busiest and most populated areas of the Costa del Sol A new and flourishing life began for this historical establishment and that's when the present manager began to work there he married the owner's daughter and took over when he died has now joined the family business after studying Economics The present clientele at La Butibamba is a mixture of locals sales representatives and other workers in transit who stop off for breakfast or lunch we can serve 200 sandwiches or more a day," says Sepúlveda "People all over Spain know about us," he says The establishment is still open to everyone: at the bar or at one of the tables you might find golfer Miguel Ángel Jiménez singer El Sevilla or politician Elías Bendodo Antonio Banderas and José Tomás have also enjoyed a bite to eat at La Butibamba "I will always remember when Camarón de la Isla came At the next table there was a lad who had a tattoo of Camarón's face and Camarón sang for him," says Francisco Javier Sepúlveda On the advice of a famous publicist - and loyal customer - the star product of this historic venta no longer appears as 'bocadillo de lomo' on the menu but as 'Bocadillo Butibamba' "He recommended that we change the name because there are a lot of pork sandwiches around but none are like ours," says Francisco Javier Sepúlveda "If I were to blindfold you and give you 50 different ones to try you'd know which one was ours," he insists Supposing that anyone would survive a test like that they would undoubtedly conclude that the difference lies in the tenderness of the meat slowly (it is marinated for 24 hours with sweet paprika salt and lard and then fried for two hours or until it passes 'the fork test') Because if that is good enough for Coca-Cola it is certainly good enough for the legendary pork tenderloin of La Butibamba there is an ingredient 'X' and nobody else knows what it is It happened by accident: it's something really silly but it completely alters the result It's what makes the meat so tender," he says "Only the family and a chef who has been with us for 30 years knows," he adds The star dishes on the menu are made with this type of meat displayed in a collage of photos with echoes of the 1970s: they include the Bocadillo Butibamba (made by inserting several pieces of pork The pieces of leftover meat are used to make spreads like 'zurrapa' and 'manteca colorá' for breakfast which are also sold in jars as a sort of hyper calorific souvenir "My son is thinking of selling them in delicatessens in the future," he says Obviously not everything is made with pork: there is a wide range of sandwiches including options for vegans "We recommend ordering half a sandwich if you're not a big eater," Francisco Javier Sepúlveda advises As announced this Wednesday, April 26, Mijas Town Council will celebrate Labour Day in Spain next Monday 1 with its traditional ‘sardinada’, to be held in the municipality of La Cala de Mijas Freshly-cooked sardines will be offered to locals and visitors A total of 600 kilos will be cooked and

festive day,” added the councillor “The recently renovated Neighbourhood Association Santa Teresa will be responsible for running the bar, which will have popular prices,” she added.

millions of people in Spain – been in lockdown since the middle of March due to the Covid-19 pandemic explains the massive impact that this unprecedented global health crisis is having on the Charity’s vital work Both ACE shelters have completely closed to the public All flights and road transportation have been cancelled meaning that our many dogs who already had new adoptive homes waiting for them in various countries across Europe are unable to leave ACE while the restrictions continue our students have had no choice but to head home In addition to our many dogs and cats in foster care our Shelter in La Cala de Mijas is currently home to 350 canines with a further 150 residing in our Refugio in Algeciras our much-depleted team works flat out to ensure that all the animals being looked after at the ACE Shelters still receive the loving care attention and treatment that they need on a daily basis The dogs still get their daily exercise and the chance to run free in our fully enclosed field The Spanish government has confirmed to us that dogs and cats cannot spread coronavirus to humans and having saved and rehomed more than 23,000 dogs and a large number of cats over the past 20 years we are well-versed in all aspects of quarantine disinfection and constant handwashing is second nature to the ACE team We receive no government funding whatsoever and depend entirely on donations our vital fundraising events have been cancelled unwanted dogs and cats are sadly still being dumped at our gates… and our costs continue to rise If this lockdown continues for several months then the survival of ACE is seriously at risk But maybe it’s better to take one day at a time and to pray that this nightmare soon ends We are passionate about saving and rehoming as many abandoned unwanted and badly treated dogs and cats as we possibly can… because every life is precious If you would like to help us to help the animals there are various ways that you can make a difference: You could make a one-off donation either by bank transfer or PayPal Or you might like to support our work on an ongoing basis by donating €15/month or perhaps €50/month to

Geranium Restaurant La Cala de Mijas A fantastic write-up and review from our friends at The Olive Press “FOODIES in Mijas should be licking their lips with glee For they finally have a true gourmet talent in their midst The Little Geranium in La Cala is not only a stunning spot for outdoor dining they have a talented former Michelin star chef Once starring in TV’s Ready Steady Cook and having written 10 cookbooks Saunders used to run the highly-rated Pink Geranium the former soil association member was in the vanguard of the organic movement and ran three restaurants in the UK But now he is back at the sharp end in Mijas who is constantly buzzing around in her role as maitre’d Choosing Spain due to their love of the country (they have travelled widely here and count chefs Ramon Freixa and Anthony Warrell Thompson as friends) they scouted around for months until they found the right spot “We did our research and we realised that La Cala was crying out for a top restaurant,” he explains “And so far things are picking up nicely.” It is no real surprise his food being both fresh and healthy… and good value too at lunch you get a choice of 13 tapas and you pay depending on how many you order with four I tried his tempura prawns in a Japanese dip as well as an amazing goats cheese salad with walnuts The portions were generous and the service It has only been open for a few weeks and the pair are still working on their wine list and suppliers “Getting good goat has proven tricky and I have been waiting for days now for a beef order from Galicia,” he explains “But on the whole we are spoilt for choice here in Andalucia for ingredients.” gingham tablecloths create a very new feel for Mijas … and what is blatantly clear is Steven’s passion for food he had me walking away with a smile.” Read more… Residents and tourists in La Cala de Mijas will be getting 24-hour cover at the local health centre at last as well as a seven-day emergency ambulance service The announcement comes after years of campaigning by locals Currently once the daytime doctors' surgeries end patients have to travel to Las Lagunas health centre ambulances also have to travel out from Las Lagunas Residents' groups took their campaign for round-the-clock cover to the Andalusian regional parliament and had gathered a petition with thousands of signatures the announcement generated political controversy The news wasn't released by the PSOE-party-controlled Junta de Andalucía health department possibly due to restrictions on announcements ahead of regional elections but by the leader of the PSOE group on Mijas council The regional health service subsequently confirmed the councillor's Facebook post but couldn't say when the service would be ready "The ambulance has to be put out to tender and then plans drawn up for running the emergency department," sources at the Junta said opposition politicians have criticised the move Esperanza Oña of the PP claimed that it was a "deceitful electoral move" and questioning whether the promise would be kept once the regional elections were over Posted by | Jul 23, 2022 | | 0 Former Huddersfield gymnast and pub landlord Brian Hayhurst and his wife Elaine are ex-pats who have lived just outside Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol for 20 years He writes every fortnight for Huddersfield Hub Our first glimpse of the beautiful former fishing village of La Cala de Mijas was from the back of a taxi in 1985 as we sped down the notorious N340 which then had no central barriers and was once named the most dangerous road in Europe We were heading for Club del Sol to see Elaine’s son Simon This was long before the A7 dual carriageway and the N340 went straight through this sleepy town passing a rundown 24-hour clinic ruin and a derelict building which is now a modern chemist How things have changed so dramatically over those past 35 years or so making it a thriving much sought after resort La Cala – once termed ‘the

Mulberries) and recent finds on sites have revealed ceramics and artefacts from the Bronze and Iron Ages Documents show there was slavery by Christian troops in 1487 is now a firm tourist favourite on the Costa with 4,000 registered residents In the early years the La Cala coastline was frequently attacked by Berberiscos – North African pirates authorised the building of a series of towers along the coastline one of which is a well-preserved central attraction in the La Cala plaza close to the beach and with an interesting history Built in 1773 it was used to house a dozen soldiers over two floors two large cannons and had beacons on its roof to warn other garrisons of impending enemy attacks Although there is no evidence of cannon windows facing the Med In 1841 Mijas officially separated from Fuengirola becoming an independent district The first official La Cala census in 1866 showed 10 inhabitants who were mainly fishermen or grape and berry farmers the agricultural activities were brought to a standstill when a deadly phylloxera plague wiped out all growth leaving workers and families on the brink of starvation In the early 60s the unexpected but welcomed tourist boom began in earnest as celebrities began to descend on the miles of beautiful beaches Many owners of rural properties and acres of land sold to developers and farmers began working in the flourishing construction sector in readiness for the immense growth of the tourist boom This bustling town now offers many cultural ready for literally millions of tourists all year round along with the growing number of potential home finders to enjoy As holiday makers sit on pristine beaches sipping an ice cold beer would they have ever thought that those beaches were regularly invaded by
