Hi
Jokes aside.
On our first few visits to Ayamonte before we had a home there and well before Esuri was ever started, there was a young bikini clad woman used to walk up and down the beach with her little stool and bag of tricks, she offered massages to tired golfers. We only ever went March and October and she was always doing a roaring trade!!! She had boards up and down with the time she would next be there!!! We feel sure it was much busier 7/8 years ago?? We do however now seem to have developed the knack of choosing the wettest weeks to go these days!!! I do know that the American dollar exchange and much cheeper green fees over there is the destination of choice for golfers at the moment. Perhaps the young lady has picked up her stool and gone to the States!!!

Hi John

Osteopath/Physiotherapy

Let me begin by saying that I have no commercial connection with this person I am recommending!

I had a bad problem with my upper back and neck after carrying some heavy stuff up to the apartment. I didnt think I could drive back with this and I went to a local Osteopath.

I realise you asked for a sports physio. but he is also a 'Fisioterapeuta' on his biz-card. So if this isn't for you its a general recommendation.

He fixed me up. And I was very pleased with the work he did. He speaks English if you speak slowly and carefully too. I'm not a fan of Chiropractors(personally) but I have had good results with Osteopaths.

Details:

Rafael Jose Tena Castilla
Calle Granada 18

Tel 651 132 955

Drive past the Plaza and downhill to the outskirts of Ayamonte: Take a left at the Petrol station roundabout: Left at the next turn (following arrow in road): Right at the end. Follow river for a few hundred metres and its on the right.
Regards
Jon

I take it you mean (following the arrow in the road) the turning by the zoo and flor de canela?

errrrr... not sure...! :)

Take the left at the petrol station roundabout and cross over the water on the bridge. In about 50 yards or so after a couple of bars/cafes, you need to be in the right lane to go straight on.

Right here there is a left turn lane with an arrow painted on the road... this is where you turn left...

A word of warning

I've mentioned before the police controls we saw on the Portugese side of the m-way coming back to Spain. We also saw one coming up from VRS-Antoinio on that local road. They seemed to be stopping every car, and they were often there at random times. One day we had HUGE controls on the M-Way exit roundabout as well at CE. One day, in the afternoon, we came back from Portugal around 4:30 Spanish time, to find that the r-bout was packed with bollards, restricting traffic flow, and police everywhere. It was clear that they had been there a while.

We couldnt see this from the motorway, just when we exited and headed to CE.

The police were stopping cars... we had Belgian plates so they waved us through. Not that we had done anything wrong - but you never know if you had just one too many! Its easy to do so, not realising it, in the heat and over a nice long lunch with wine in Portugal. :shades_smile:

Note that you would have been stopped had you come from Ayamonte as well, and they were stopping cars also on the side road from the new ERG petrol station - coming into that roundabout from inland Spain. Basically anybody that hit the r-bout.

I've mentioned this before, so be careful if youve hired a local car.

Think about :beer: and then getting behind the wheel - you've been warned!

Hi,

Changing the subject completely; does anyone know of any evangelical churches either in or around the Ayamonte area?

Good point Jon.
Also don`t forget that the limit is lower than the UK.
The guy that caused the horrendous coach crash in Malaga was slightly over the UK limit, but twice the Spanish limit and has been charged with murder allegedly.
Today a lot of the old driving laws have now been changed to criminal law, ie driving without a licence, up to 2 years jail :eek:
All car paperwork and your licence and PP has to be with you in the car.

Sorry, but the easiest answer, whatever the limit is, is do not drink anything if you are driving. Having been on the receiving end and lost a very close relative to a drunk driver, believe me when I say it is a horrible situation to face.
