Heard two great new blues records recently , by artists not so well known ,but who´ve had a big impact on the music of such luminaries as Bob Seeger ,Stevie Ray Vaughn and Bruce Springsteen .Eli ¨Paperboy ¨Reed and his group the True Loves and Dallas Hodge (foto below)both have new releases and should be playing in Spain soon.To get more information on tour schedules visit dallashodge.com
The song remains the same. The following is an excerpt from these pages back in 2004.Does it look familiar?
Summer 2004 will be remembered as the season that never started as for as local hotels ,shopkeepers and restaurants are concerned.This year was projected to be a bumper year for foreign tourists ,but where are they?
We have the traffic , power and water cuts and congested supermarkets,
as well as the broken sewage lines ,but it appears the local business community
is reaping what´s been sown by permitting the thousands of naff apartments
to be built along the beachfront here.I spoke with a friend from Palm Beach yesterday .There, front line
and nearby homes are selling for between 15 and 40 million U.S Dollars. It’s
a bit difficult to imagine that ever happening here.Along the English dominated ¨strip¨ it appears a Benidorm
style price war is being waged.If it continues it will result in the 99 cent
breakfast and guarantee the type of tourist trade that the first expats to
the area came here to flee.When the financial markets do take a dip the first the first thing
to go is traditionally the secondary residence. These secondary residences
then convert to primary residences for those entering the property ladder.
Who do you think will be interested in acquiring a starter home of 50 square
meters.The five million foreign tourists predicted to visit the coasts have
either changed their plans or will be here in September. Some blame the Football
in Portugal for the drop in trade. Might just as well stay home if you´re
going to spend the holiday watching the telly.What effect will the Olympics have on what remains of the non-Season?Record setting temperatures as well as other anomalous weather occurrences
this Summer. Blame it on Bush and global warming or whatever but apparently
whatever protects us from the u.v rays isn´t doing its job.A mere 15 minutes in direct sunlight can result in a serious burn
this year.The taxi shortage is one of the most lamented issues in local barroom
gossip. Mojacar Taxi operator Pascal at telephone 610 448448 offers to attend
you or find you another taxi .According to the loosely knit local taxi cooperative the taxi problem
is caused by the nearby Townhalls not getting together to get rid of the regulations
prohibiting taxis to pickup fares outside their municipality.The drivers want taxi ranks with call boxes and the ability to cross
municipal boundaries and in exchange will guarantee at least a couple of taxis
on call round the clock year round. Easyjet is starting daily flights Stanstead to Almeria at very economical
prices with less stringent weight and baggage restrictions.This weekend the Mojacar Townhall is presenting a dance exhibition
at the Plaza Nueva in the village. Also this month a bullfight . The Hotel Mojacar Playa near the El Arbol Supermarket on Mojacar
´s seafront will be offering their super holiday breaks again this Fall
.They also have o dislay iin their lobbt a collection of photograghs of Mojacar
of pre- apartment Mojacar.This administration assures us we will have an approved ¨general
plan¨before the first of the year. Contentious points still at issue include
approval of the Moxacar parking facility ,which will resolve, for a while
at least the village parking shortage and a clearly defined urban plan which
will put the breaks on the unscrupulous developers who continue to negotiate
special planning in non-urban areas and ramblas for urbanizatons to benefit
the ¨public good¨. The Mojacar Town Hall is really taking care of business aty least
as far as public works and infrastructure are concerned .Lots of roadworks
and new streetlights. If we could just resolve the Taxi shortage.Molly´s Muñecas is a new toyshop offering English stuff
for kids.They are just in front of the Sinaloa Bar & Grille in Garrucha.(near
bugambilas roundabout) ´Both Sinaloa restaurants are on summer hours from now until september.They
open evenings from 6: 00 til late.(kitchen open til midnite and bar til later
still)The new transformer for the village ,which should eliminate or at
least reduce the number of power cuts that have been a way of life up there,
is now online .Plans are also underway to alleviate the parking problem up
in the village.Congratulations are in order for the fine job this mixed group of
young people is doing for the community.Contrary to rumours passed around by the opposition the Coalition
here is lots sturdier than the one bombing city centers in Iraq.Found a fun new website: SpanishPirates.com presents an online forum
for grievances suffered by the expat community,homebuyers and the like.
The site permits those maligned property sellers, tour operators, builders
etc. to offer their side of the story as well. The local page , for this ,the
Almeria area, has yet to go online .Its promised for soon.
When it does the fur should start to fly .A local vulture has been reselling
gas bottles to uninformed new arrivals at somewhat usurious prices .
His captive and apparently naïve clientele blissfully ignorant to Spanish
consumer protection laws don’t know any better and continue to be bilked.
Probably just a matter of time until someone demands to see his complaints
book and when he doesn’t produce it contacts the authorities
The bigger surprise is the enterprise not only isn’t licensed to sell
gas bottles, it has NO business license, once again CAVEAT EMPTOR.Mister U.K on the Mojacar seafront and Hathaway´s English foods
at the far end of Garrucha are the places to find your all those food goodies
for your traditional English table.An alternative to an expensive satellite system is here..It seems
a new system using something on the order of microwaves is now available locally.
My neighbour was moving house so they gave me their system.I´d been
pricing a dish system and received quotes of between 750 and 950 euros. The
system I was given costs 200 € .It makes use of a small antenna rather
than the big dish and is 8 euros a month as opposed to the 30 or so euros
per month on the alternate system .
Another plus with this system is that the moment the antenna is hooked up
you are online. No waiting for someone to organize a bank account and bogus
address in the U.K like the dish system.If you still want a dish , a wholesaler in Huercal de Almeria prices
them out at about half the rate offered in Mojacar . You will then need to
make friends with an out of work installer to hook it up and youre in business.For you sports fans, Roly´s Pub near the Hotel Indalo is the
place to be. Roly has several screens going with whatever the days sports
offerings might be.
Roly is also about to open a new place near the Bugambillas roundabout at
the far end of Garrucha .A couple of big screens will make it THE place for
the sportin´ community out that way.This weeks ,I left my brains in the U.K dept.queries why would some
one contract rental space with no conditions other than payment times and
amounts and then blindly follow conditions subsequent but not included in
the original contract when informed of same by the landlord.
There is an office in Huercal Overa that dedicates itself to righting abuses
such as these .No charge to the consumer and lots of bored agents just waiting
for some wrongs to right O´Connells in the Plaza Square in Turre offers a venue for
the motorbike community every Sunday .Polished putts and scrumptious motorcycle
mamas are the order of the day. Cheap drinks and good company make for a nice
day out.In case you didn’t notice , the vivamojacar .com offers free

POODLES are back at HELADERIA ALBERTO´S .FUN STUFF!John, worked in a pickle factory. Unfortunately, he had a very real
and powerful desire to put his penis in the pickle slicer. This went of for
years and John couldn't stand it any more.
So, he decided to seek professional help for this odd infatuation of his.
He spent a few months with a shrink who finally gave up and told him, "John,
since your desire is so powerful to put your penis in the pickle slicer the
only way to get over it is to do it." John, gladly agreed to do it the
next day at work.
The next day he came home from work very early, about 11 AM. His wife, Sondra,
was very worried and asked why he was home so early.
John, explained to her for the first time his uncontrollable desire he had
over the past few years to put his penis in the pickle slicer. He explained
that he couldn't take it any more, and today he did it and he got fired as
a result.
Sondra, gasped and ran over to him, yanked down his pants and briefs, only
to see his penis perfectly normal and intact. She looked back up and said,
"I don't understand ... what happened to the pickle slicer?"
John said, "I think she got fired too!"A woman, pregnant with triplets, was walking down the street when
a masked robber ran out of a bank and shot her three times in the stomach.
Luckily the babies were OK.
The surgeon decided to leave the bullets in because it was too risky to operate.
She gave birth to triplets, two healthy daughters and a healthy son.
All was fine for 16 years, and then one daughter walked into the room in tears.
"What's wrong?" asked the mother. "I was taking a tinkle and
this bullet came out" replied the daughter.
The mother told her it was okay and explained what happened 16 years ago.
About a week later the second daughter walked into the room in tears.
"Mom, I was taking a tinkle and this bullet came out." Again the
mother told her not to worry and explained what happened 16 years ago.
A week later her son walked into the room in tears. "It's okay"
said the Mom, "I know what happened....you were taking a tinkle and a
bullet came out."
"No," said the boy, "I was playing with myself and I shot the
dog..."A professor is sent to Darkest Africa to live with a primitive tribe.
He spends years with them, teaching them Reading, Writing, Math and Science.
One day the wife of the tribe's chief gives birth to a white child. The members
of the tribe are shocked, and the chief pulls the professor aside and says,
"Look here! You're the only white man we've ever seen and this woman
gave birth to a white child. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened!"
The professor replied, "No, Chief. You're mistaken. What you have here
is a natural occurrence .. what we in the civilized world call an albino!
Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black
one. Nature does this on occasion."
The chief was silent for a moment, and then said, "Tell you what. You
don't say anything more about the sheep and I won't say anything more about
the baby!"Got a question or complaint ?
Mojacar Town Hall 950 615009
Hasta la vista, baby
There was an interesting take on the global economic crisis recently .A group of economists prognosticating what effect the U.S elections might have, the length of time , etc,when one person came up with the idea that ¨the whole thing could right itself tomorow, noone really knows as we´ve never been in this situation before. Sounds good to me.
Today we spoke with an estate agent , who claims to have sold over a million € in property this week.
It seems that at the upper end of the market money isn´t such a big issue .On the other hand , bars don´t seem to be working so well . A place on the beach road offers 2 for 1 meals , another offers a 2€ breakfast so the place next door offers the same for 1 €. Its a bit reminiscent of the TV series Name That Tune . Player number 1 offers to name it in 3 notes , player 2 in 2 notes and eventually there just isnt any possibility for anyone to come up a winner .
Below is a box of soap .The image on the box is that of JESUS ´CHUY¨ MALVERDE, the Patron Saint of outlaws, ,more specifically those engaged in drug trafficking . Malverde has the reputation of being a Robin Hood- like character from the early 1900 s and has captured the imagination of rappers, fashion designers and a lot of the street culture in America. In California , Malverde memorabilia can be used as evidence to imply your intent to possess drugs for sale and other illegal activity. GOD BLESS ÉM
Some time ago there was a good idea to resolve the parking ( lack of ) in the Village. after supporting mayoral candidates bids for office in a few administrations it looked like a promoter from Murcia was going to build a structure with 900 parking places and as a bone was going to get to build a hotel, cinema and supermaket as well.
Mojacar being Mojacar, when the developer didnt include any current or former local politicians in the deal he seems to have lost his planning permission .
The new facility will be situated on the old football pitch .This one won´t offer cinemas . supermarket , hotel nor 900 spaces.
This one will offer fewer spaces than the football pitch did and converts the free parking spaces on the road down from the Pavana to pay -for -park with the revenue going to the company who is contracted to operate the new parking lot .
Go figure, a net of fewer free spaces and who made the money on this deal ?
NOW THAT WE HAVE A NEW TOWN HALL , WILL WE GET THE WAVE MACHINE , HOSPITAL AND UNIVERSITY CAMPUS THE TOWN NEEDS ?
What´s happening here? Can the Town Fathers not see beyond the end of their own bank balances? Common knowledge has it that business has beeen o n the downturn here for several years.Mojacar in Winter was about as busy as an iceberg. A machine to generate surfable waves on the seafront costs less than a million €uros , a satellite campus of a university only requires providing a piece of land on a long lease as would a hospital , and any or all of these would help to fill the glut of vacant holiday lets during the time of the year when most are empty. A town in England apparently saw an increase of appproximarely 30% in property values when a wave machine was installed and another is under construction now near Barcelona .
MOJACAR SE MUEVE sez :
We thank you in advance for your time and would like to introduce ourselves. We are a social and cultural association from the Mojácar area named “Mojácar se Mueve”.
We aim to work on various different aspects dealt with within the Town Hall which are much forgotten or completely abandoned, such as; culture, youth, sport, racial integration and a very long etc.
The purpose of this email is to make citizens of Mojácar aware of the complete lack of interest our politicians have in the aforementioned matters. One clear example is that our Town Councillor, who is in charge of youth, sport and health, has no idea what a youth club is!
Also in the village itself there is not a single children’s park, we have over 100 children under the age of 15 in this part of our town.
The worst thing about this is that the councillors know of this problem and are very aware yes but not at all concerned with solving these terrible problems. The fact is they do not take these matters seriously and actually joke about them, and appear to have no immediate or even long term intention of taking any of these points into hand.
We are not going to enter into a debate about why our politicians don’t do things or even seem to care about our town (some of us not born here are of the opinion that they don’t actually love their town) we would like to make a stand, make some noise, and make everybody aware of two events that have occurred in the last couple of months. We are completely disgusted by the answers received by our local representatives in the town hall, some rightfully voted in and others who have paid their way in.
These are:
YOUTH CLUB:
After presenting a document proposing ideas for a youth club at the Youth Councillors office we await 3 weeks and hear nothing. We then call to find that the document has not even been read, we ask if he could possibly do so and call us back. A week later we return the call, as we have still not received a reply, to once again be told that it has not been read. After a month and a half of calling and visits to his office (which he is never in) he finally says over the phone “well what is it you want?” “What is a youth club and what is it for?” “My kids haven’t got one and don’t have time for anything else after school and playing with friends!” “Can you guarantee me that the BOTELLON (drinking in the streets) will stop if we have one of these things?” Followed by him saying that “there is no place for this sort of thing and that it’s not of importance” then he proceeds to hanging up on us very rudely!
CHILDRENS PARK:
We made a petition and collected 600 signatures, from mostly parents and kids from the village, asking for a solution to this situation as it’s an unbelievable fact. We took this with the 600 signatures to the Councillor in charge of this subject. He listened to us and spoke to the other councillors about our petition and the answer we received after the meeting was: The only project for a park will be finished in 2 years time; well this is exactly the same response we got 2 years ago from the previous government!!
Those of us involved in the association and all of the other residents of Mojácar wonder if we are going to stand for this and have them, literally, laughing at our 600 signatures and our plead for some basic and necessary services our town urgently lacks.
These are the people who before the elections listen, promise, smile, talk.
The same people who now don’t smile or listen or anything they promised apart from letting deteriorate, even more, this beautiful town we all choose to live in.
We attach the 2 petitions completely ignored by our politicians.
For these reasons we are in action and informing our local media, of the internal disaster that exists in our government to this day. This is their job and they are paid to do this, we pay them to do their job not just raffle out the councillor’s areas of work as they please without any interest for their work, their towns benefit or more importantly its people.
If you have interest in making this public or would like to speak to us for more details on the subjects we are concerned with, please contact us at the following email or telephone:

This photo of Mojacar ,from the collection of Alan and Gil Stewart ,shows the Village as it was in 1962 . A collection of photos depicting the area´s evolution is on display in the lobby of the Hotel Mojacar Playa , just behind the El Arbol market on the Paseo .Close inspection of the picture shows the dominant structures in the Village are the church on one side ,and the now SINALOA FANNY´S on the other side
With the New Year here and the obligatory resolutions made, some local joggers have found that adhering to those resolutions can be rewarding in more ways than just shedding a few pounds. In the past couple of weeks several hundred kilos of hashish have been discovered by early morning athletes patrolling Mojacar ´s beaches .

Out with the Old ,contributed by LENOX NAPIER
Mojácar was founded over six thousand years ago or more as a Copper Age community. The exact site was around the foot of the hill known to us today as ‘Old Mojácar’. According to Juan Grima, a local historian who recently gave a talk on the history of the town at the ‘Castillo’, Mojácar changed its site over the aeons from the original location, to up the Sierra Cabrera (protection from pirates) and later to an area above La Paratá, then back to the ‘Old Mojácar’ mount where it was first named, by the Romans, as ‘Mons Sacra’. Later on the name and the location changed, to where it presently lies, with Mons Sacra moving via the Arab ‘Muxacra’ to the current version Mojácar. History, you might say, is embedded in every rock, every stone.
Actually, not so much as one would like. While the old ‘Sacred Mountain’ has never been properly excavated, most of the remains from prehistoric times, when uncovered, have been destroyed as fast as possible. The archaeologists, if alerted from Granada University, can take an agonizingly long time to perform a dig and so, my friends, it’s better to brush the dirt back over it with a bulldozer.
In more modern times, there are equally few remains of the Moorish town which was sacked by the Christian forces in 1488 or, for that matter, of the town that followed. The sixteenth century castle, described as ‘inmutable’ or ‘unknockdownable’ in a 1928 Spanish encyclopaedia, had disappeared entirely by the late nineteen fifties. Other buildings were purposely dismantled by their owners to sell off the doors, rejas, wood beams and so on, before their departure in search of work and a better future during the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. Mojácar was a place of ruins by 1960.
As we know, tourism brought it back from the brink: residential tourism to begin with, later followed by what the mayoress unfortunately described enthusiastically on television last month as ‘cheap, cheap, cheap hotels’.
Destruction
However, the race to make money often means destroying the old to replace it with a modern tee-shirt shop or perhaps a humourous ashtray emporium. In Mojacar, the old Arco de Luciana was demolished about ten years ago (in actual fact, it was just a tunnel under a bedroom next to La Sartén where generations of customers emptied their bladders). We still use this destruction for political reasons. More importantly, the town’s fountain was ‘remodelled’ back in 1987 to general indignation; the ‘Castillo’ was turned into a bunker around the same time (and several thousand-year-old graves were quickly cemented over); the Plaza Parterre – a dull empty square behind the church, was re-vamped by the last town hall (using every form of architecture known to science in its outing); the Plaza Nueva was systematically knocked down in favour of un-typical architecture over the years since 1968; the beautiful theatre went in around 1975 in exchange for some serious tee-shirteries; and of the six ‘ermitas’ - small churches that were built in the fervent times of the seventeenth century – apart from one which is now incorporated into a private house – the final surviving one is, as I write, falling down in the main square.
The Ermita is in private hands and has no protection on it whatsoever. It could be gone by Christmas, I imagine, and the site will soon be taken by another bar, or a tattoo parlour or a pottery shop.
The town hall, aghast at the thought of being considered as yet another Philistine, has ordered the owners of the Ermita to repair it to its former glory by the end of the year. Perhaps we’re turning the corner after all…
There is little remaining of Mojácar’s origins, beyond the narrow streets and the harsh sunlight. The ‘Moorish Gate’ down below the ‘El Torreón’, built in fact in the seventeen hundreds, also has no protection. It could be knocked down by the owner today if he wanted.
The Palacio de Chamberí on the beach is now remembered as an uneasy frontage to a large box-like hotel, while three arrestingly hideous versions of it languish nearby as apartment blocks. Then there is the grove of trees cut down by our ‘ecologist’ mayor three years ago. Other recent improvements include the giant electric pylons marching across the riverbed and the famous view from the Mojácar mirador. From the same viewpoint we can also observe the smudge of grimy smog from the giant power station in nearby Carboneras that hovers over the sea every afternoon: a cloud that, of course, hovers equally over the town and countryside. The Endesa plant is the highest producer of CO2 gas in Andalucía, producing at 3.2 million tons per annum (to rise to 3.6 million tons by 2009) almost double the second highest producer, another Endesa plant in Cadiz. Then there is the neon, the noddy-homes, the scruffy and unnecessary beach-furnishings and the potholes.
Juan Grima, noting the destruction and the disinterest, said that the town church will be a supermarket in twenty years.
Curiously, as the town is killed, there is no concern: only complacency.
The Tax Office has a website where you can log on to find information regarding properties, their buildability and a wealth of relevant information , before you buy a property or just to be better informed . A friend checked the status of a parcel on the Mojacar Playa and discovered that the building site next to his land is actually zoned to be a public Plaza not the thirty plus obnoxious nearly -completed apartments that now obstruct his views.
catastro.meh.es is the website , it also offers aerial fotos and maps .
Also on a legalistic note,
Most paper- pushing in Spain is channeled through a GESTOR . In this area , there are several who will guide you through the bureaucratic maze that exists . Unfortunately , some are better than others and a wrong choice can be costly. It appears that these people are not required to maintain errors and ommissions insurance so you are afforded very little in the way of legal relief if one of them should misfile your tax return or interpret a title deed , work contract or purchase agreement incorrectly. A recent horror story cites an instance of a gentleman who had paid a gestora to file the paperwork to shutdown one of his companies 10 years ago.He recently received a tax bill for 15000 € , as the paperwork hadnt been filed correctly. A suggestion is speak to Michael Davies , an English speaking local attorney who can help you or point you in the direction of somone who can . He maintains offices in the Parque Comercial in Mojacar and in Almeria .
And now back to more current events !!!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder......
This photo illustrates not only local architecture, old and new ,but as well, how differently (old and new) administrations interpret the zoning regulations.To the left of the historic HERMITA is the building that after an administration power swing had the top floor condemned to comply with local height norms,the structure on the right,considerably taller is representative of more recent interpretation of the same norms.Be sure to visit this unsightly site ,you can sit in the square , drink a coffee , nod knowingly and comment how much money is to made in small town politics and sure enough ,in the time it takes to say ¨who got the backhander on this one ¨?,the building has grown skyward another meter .The growth spurts are most rapid on the weekends , perhaps so as to not embarass those from the Town Hall and Police on their way to and from their coffee breaks .
The Hotel Mojacar Playa near the El Arbol Supermarket on Mojacar ´s seafront will be offering their super holiday breaks again this season .They also have on display in their lobby a collection of historical photographs of Mojacar
Another new or relatively new site is: El Miradormojacar . com. This site is brought to you by Ricardo Alba ,the local Spectrum Fm concessionaire. You can post fotos of whatever on El Miradormojacar.com . Many relate to malfeasance on the part of those most trusted members of society ,the politicians, and many have a bit cynical text accompanying the pictures.
