Soltalk June 2018 | Page 8

Hello and welcome to the June edition of Soltalk! you. Enjoy your meals all of you we at Soltalk are all jealous! First of all we would like to thank all those of you who took the time to complete our Survey (See Soltalk May 2018). And thanks too for so many great comments and suggestions, although overall the readers who completed it seemed to be very satisfied with what we have done to date, there is always room for improvement isn’t there? June is a fabulous month here in Nerja and as usual it is marked by the opening of the Nerja Caves Festival, see Smalltalk on page 20, for more details. It is also the month for La fiesta de San Juan on June 23rd. Many beaches will be home to tents and camp fires for the night with an official party scheduled for 10.30pm at Burriana Beach. We wanted to make sure that our prize draw for three lucky winners of restaurant vouchers was all done fairly, so we asked Karen (pictured right with me), owner of Villasol Real Estate to do it for us and she kindly agreed. All the names of people who completed the survey were duly printed and cut out, placed into a bag and three were drawn at random by Karen. And the winners were... (drum roll in your head please) For more ideas of things to do in June see our feature on page 22 - there is a lot going on! On Thursday June 14 it is time to say happy 16th birthday to Irish Annies Bar! They will of course be doing something extra special all day to celebrate - for more details see their advertisement on page 21. And also this June, for those that way inclined, there will be more football than ever with the World Cup happening in Russia, see our World Cup Match Planner chart on page 36 for details of who is playing who, when, where and which bars you can watch the action in!
