The full list of Holidays in Spain is at this page http://www.spain-info.co.uk/public-holidays-in-spain2011.htm
It seems from the list that it is a Red Day in some areas but not here

Thanks for that Ian I did not want to get SAT a 2,000 euro fine. I don't think I would be very popular.

Have just copied the list off the computer.

Eve,
I have a BBQ on the go here! The concensus of our guests is that tommorrow is not only red but it is green also! Whatever that might mean?
It seems to be the concensus that apart from bars and restaurants that nothing will be open.

According to the spanish-info website it is only a red day in certain parts of spain.

Eve,
I hope you are right otherwise we could starve to death in our household!

Tambien Angelique, as I will be expected to pay the fine. If I see everyone else are closed , I won't open, but if the Banks are open everyone will be.

All the Banks are open, so it isn't a Red Day in La Marina Urbanisation.

At least you haven't got air con problems like I have at the moment !!

Thats true Carol!

Definately don't need it here though! Being too hot is not nice either!

Hope you get it sorted soon! X

Sun and some cloud !!

Hi Nikki, did you ever find out when the night market at Guardamar finishes?

Nikki,
It might be a good idea that you keep your head under the parapit?
Only a few weeks ago there was an afternoon charity do at your pub with hundreds of people outside, music, stalls etc. All of this without police interference!

Hi Julie No Inever did find out about the market. Do you know anything about it?

Angelique yes you are right in what you say. As I have said before we are very lucky on the whole, that the police dont bother us to much, but then we try to be considerate and keep the music low, doors closed etc. The fun day was obviously outside for us to be able to have that many people present. Again I dont think the music was overly loud and the singers were finished around 8.30pm as it was an afternoon event. I just think it would be nice if everyone knew where they stood and maybe then we could have more entertainment without fear of being fined.

Hi Nikki
When I went to see Jeff Wiszniewski he made the statement to me that he thought it a good idea that a meeting was held between himself and all local interested Bars Entertainment operators. It is obvious that nothing has been done. Many bar owners take on the policy of keeping there heads down, but a time has to come when this is all sorted out for the good of every one. If Jeff is not over interested in making this happen perhaps a couple of bar owners should make the first move.

According to the Leader you can all open until 02.30. Perish the thought.

Thank you Nikki for letting me know that it was a great idea.Unfortunately hardly any body else put forward the same feelings on this forum,which surprised me because quite a few complained about having to put up with the police tactics of ordering bars turn down music on what seems like a whim.
Obviously unless a large turn out could of been guaranteed,at the council offices,the idea of a protest is a non starter..

Alan / Nikki,
I think myself the landlords are there own worst enemies. Instead of getting together they guard their own territories.
From what I have seen and heard I believe that the landlords are afraid to take up a discussion with our local police, alternativly they are keeping their heads down because they are not being affected by the police.
At the same time they are always very quick to tell you which pubs were visited last night and who got denuncias.
From what I have seen myself their are few if any visits to Grey Area. Woodstock, White Swan and Anandas have music blaring out, doors open until early hours with no police problems and Ramons recently held an entire wedding with live music outside until approx 12 midnight whereas Bar Stop has been suffering from a vendeta with one householder for years, the minute music is played the police come.
Surely it is in everyones interest to standardise the rules, is it not?

If you speak to Paul Hamnett at Pocomobel or Moncayo Market at the end of the Lemon Tree road he deals in that and is brilliant, straight and honest.

Thank you for your reply. Would you have a contact Tel. No. ? If not I´ll pop over next Sunday and see if I can find him.
Regards. Sandra

Hi
I have not got a phone number for him but will send him your email address and get Paul to contact you. Hope that helps
