I decided to have a play with wordpress with a view to making a new website about our region while also trying to promote Finca Arboleda.

It is now live at Discover Almeria I would love any ideas and links I can add to it, does anyone know a good local “whats on” type site ?

Olive picking 2016

11th Nov. Great Crop ! We had over a tonne of Olives this year and a big thank you to friends and guests who helped us pick them. We had a break from tradition and didn’t go to Lubrin but to the Zurano press near Pulpi. Lubrin is a much nicer location but I didn’t missing dragging the trailer up the mountain and at Zurano they do the bottling for you as well. The oil tastes great as usual, nothing quite like fresh oil drizzled on a nice piece of bread, the glass of red to wash it down helps as well!

Cheap Easyjet flights released this Thursday

This is from MSE

This Thursday – the cheapest time to book millions of seats? Includes Easter 2017

Easyjet’s prices are fluid and move based on demand for any particular flight. When they’re released, they’re usually priced cheaply, then this can change quickly depending on how many are booking. So if you can pounce when they’re launched, you’re often getting the very cheapest deal.

When does it launch the tickets?

They’re released in five tranches throughout the year. Easyjet’s prices are based on demand, so be ready to buy on the day it launches a new wave of tickets and you’re likely to get a good deal.

This Thursday (6 Oct 2016) tickets go on sale for travel from 26 Mar 2017 to 25 Jun 2017, including flights over Easter and May half-term. There’s no one release time – tickets are likely to go on sale in batches throughout the day, though previously many tickets have gone on sale very early.

Of course, Easyjet may break previous convention and Thursday’s price may not be cheapest. Yet in the past booking on seat-release day has worked well. Use common sense when you see the price though, and always do a flight comparison to see if other airlines can beat it.

Cabo de Gata in the 10 best car routes in Spain

On the pulse have published a list of the 10 best car routes in Spain.

Cabo de Gata: Almería, Andalucía

Cabo de Gata: Almería, Andalucía

More than 60 km of lighthouses, steep cliffs, inlets, caves and almost virgin beaches are what make up the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata-Níjar, which has been named a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco. It is actually one of the most arid spaces within the country and one of the driest in Europe. Nevertheless, it is still one of the richest areas of the Mediterranean coast in terms of marine and sea life. A great area for divers, snorkelers and lovers of sea life, but also for those with a taste for all that comes from the sea and who like to see it on their dinner plate!
