As usual there is NO agenda, NO formalities, NO cost (buy your own drinks etc) and you do not need to be a member of B2B.

It’s just a very social environment where a few friends meet and those who don’t know each other become friends! All welcome. If anybody wants to go on for a meal or whatever later a number of us will go to one of the many local eateries.

I’m very happy with that “formula” – if you can get down on Thursday you are most welcome. We had a GREAT meet-up last week with good numbers, lots of activity and good fun had by all as they made and developed new contacts.

Bar la Bodeguita in Fuengirola

wolfgangbrand — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:43:33 +0000

The owner

Possibly the smallest, yet cosiest bar in Fuengirola is bar la Bodeguita.

The Swedish owned place is also called the “Rumpan Bar” which is some kind of Swedish play with words: It means “the naked ass” . Swedish humor does my head in, and no, it is not a gay bar, if you thought that’s what it implies, naughty you!

The customer base consists largely of local Residents from different nationalities, all-though the Swedish hold a strong majority. However a lot of regulars are English, Irish, Norwegian and German, including myself.

Local gossip and politics are predominant topics of discussions and because of the “size” of the bar one can hardly avoid not to be part of the discussion.

Its busy at night time , closed on Mondays.

The ideal place to go, when you are new in Fuengirola and want to get to know local Residents. So don’t be shy and join us for a beer and a laugh at the naked ass. Dressing yours is optional but highly recommended.

Bar for sale in Fuengirola

wolfgangbrand — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:14:24 +0000

The current owner has created a very warm and inviting atmosphere and has built up a large and loyal local customer base. Although the bar is an English run bar, its location and ambience has encouraged a large Scandinavian and Spanish clientele in addition to the English one.

The bar benefits from probably the largest and best equipped kitchen in the town for a bar of its size and the owner has used this to its maximum by promoting the sale of high quality home made foods.

The food sales now represent a high percentage of the overall takings with regular return custom. The main bar is fully air conditioned, has cable TV for all the scheduled sporting events and promotes a free WI-FI service which has attracted a whole new set of customers, particularly in the daytime.

At the rear of the bar, there is a separate room which can be used for a pool table, air-hockey table or, in the case of the current owner, is being converted into a small internet cafe to maximise the use of his internet connection. Other potential uses of the back room would be to move the kitchen to the rear of the building to extend the bar area.

This is an excellent bar and would be a perfect purchase for a couple or family. This is a fantastic opportunity to take over an established business in a busy street with a huge local trade in an area renowned for quality eating and drinking establishments and opposite the largest golfers hotel in the town.

The sale is due to the owner moving on to a larger bar/restaurant, not within the same area. An early viewing is recommended. The lease is 5 years renewable and the current rent is 1,200 Euros

Thursday Evening Meet-Ups

thisisspain — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:29:32 +0000

On Thursday June 25 you are cordially invited to an informal meet-up at “The New Black Cat” at Las Postas, Calahonda from 6,30 – 8pm. The bar is run by my friend and B2B stalwart Marleen Gosselin.

As usual there is NO agenda, NO formalities, NO cost (buy your own drinks etc) and you do not need to be a member of B2B.

It’s a totally social environment with, as I say, no agenda. Talk about sex ‘n’ drugs and rock&roll or SEO, saving money or your phonecalls (hint!) or Spain’s GDP. It’s totally up to those who turn up and who you end up in conversation with. I’m very happy with that “formula” – if you can get down on Thursday you are most welcome. We had a GREAT meet-up last week with good numbers, lots of activity and good fun had by all as they made and developed new contacts. New faces are almost most welcome.

The townhall informs: Building work for TDT television

wolfgangbrand — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:04:28 +0000

Esperanz Oña

Fuengirola Television will have a new building with the most modern and latest technologies in line with the requirements of the TDT.

Today Oña visited the buidling site and confirms thes work going well and that could be completed at the end of the year.

The project has a budget of 1,200,000 euros and will take period of 7 months and a half.The Mayor of Fuengirola, Esperanza Oña, today visited with the mayor of Town Planning, Ana Mula, the construction of the new building to be public television and radio in Fuengirola.

The new building of 2175 square meters, will be located at the street fair Jerez.

The project is necessary as FTV has a DTT license and a new local radio and municipal facilities must be adapted to new digital technologies. This work began last April 13 and has a budget of 1,233,000 euros and an implementation period of 7 months and a half.

The contractor is Isolux Ingeniería SA “We want to dignify all public buildings and not have to be an exception, although some insist on it, the building of the future municipal radio and television.

Moreover, people working in the municipal service have the same rights as other municipal workers to have a facility more comfortable and allowing them to do a better job, “noted the mayor, who recalled that” one has Fuengirola Digital TV license is the fact that we have been granted an additional license for radio city. So, because of these technologies that we need to have another building to cover these needs. “

It is also planned to build of a new building, which will have ground floor plus two, located in a municipally owned parcel of 1.131m ² in the streets of Jerez Fair. This new facility will be located next to other important facilities such as municipal pool María Peláez, Juan Gómez Juanito Pavilion or the Palace of Peace.

The new building has more than 2,000 square meters, and represents a major leap in quality in the services provided from FTV (the current building has 570 m2), which added to the future of radio programming.

Oña said that “works up to a pace of work but are complicated. If all goes as planned this work completed by the end of November. Accordingly, we will release at Christmas. “

Regarding the distribution of future facilities, the floor will set a real and virtual. The actual film will allow the creation of new programs, which may include more guests, live performances, etc.. It will be much more versatile. In addition to office area there will be dressing rooms, toilets, lobby access, loading docks and warehouses.

The first floor will be the newsrooms, the offices of management and production, two editing rooms, a training room, a room ENG, living room, toilets and file. For its part, the second floor will host the radio set, two sets of control rooms, assembly hall, editorial office, two editing room continuity of completion of two main dishes, cold room, workshop room locution, store, archive and toilets.Before concluding, Oña has emphasized that “we had the opportunity to include this project within the Plan-E, which also accepted us immediately and told us that they felt very well. Therefore, it was a project we had to do and we take these funds to include in that we do not cost us money or cost as little as possible.

Obviously, I think it was a good decision and I do not understand the criticism of the Socialist Party made in the municipal television. I think due to the tactics of deception and double standards because it is that television has no facilities or Mijas Canal Sur, which is the public television of Andalusia, no?. It has been very big and expensive. Therefore, I am not willing, under any circumstances, accept some criticism FTV, which is not fair either for workers or citizens. “

Zapatero and common sense

wolfgangbrand — Thu, 14 May 2009 08:52:41 +0000

Zapatero: I know nothing

It is of no secret that Mr. Zapatero did not pay attention to English lessons when he was at school.

Actually, whenever you see him at international conferences it is quite funny how bad he dissimulates that he hasn’t got a clue what other people say.

But not only that a President of a country in Europe does not speak a word of English, he also is completely useless in maths and common sense.

Yesterday he presented an anti crisis plan in the Parliament which left me speechless for a couple of seconds. Trust me that doesn’t happen often.

He seriously suggests to punish people that can and want to buy a house or flat with making the investment and the cost of finance non deductable, unless one earns less then 24.000 Euro per year.

Read here a great summery:

Zapatero and maths

Anyone believes that will stimulate the economy? Does he want to avoid people buying real estate? He wants to erase a whole industry?

Or is he just trying to finance his gifts to the labor class (amongst others) by punishing the middle class yet again?

Anyone stop that man?
