owadays, you can find QR (quick-response)

Ncodes on everything. These odd-looking, black-and-white, pixellated designs were

originally used by the automotive industry, but today they are most often found in magazines, newspapers and ads.

Admags.es use these codes all the time as they offer an efficient way to create links to websites - you just scan on your phone and the mini mobile site appears. From here you can tap to call, tap to email, get directed to the business - plus much more. Here are some tips on how to use a QR app to access the businesses on direct.admags.es

First, you need a QR-code app and a smartphone or tablet equipped with a camera. iPhone users should check out "RedLaser". Android fans can try either "RedLaser" or "QR Droid", and BlackBerry users will like “QR Code Scanner Pro2. All of these apps are free to download, and each one should handle any standard QR code just fine.

When you launch your app of choice, you'll see that your phone's camera is activated, with an on-screen framing guide. Line up the camera on your device with the QR code you want to scan, and hold the device steady until the app can read the code in front of it.

For the best results, aim your device squarely at the code, and not at an angle. Try to minimize any glare from stray light sources, and scan the code in an evenly lit environment. If the code is in direct sunlight, you may need to cover it with your hand for the app to read it properly.

When the app has recognised the QR code, it will beep and display the info code contains, or launch your web browser to take you through to the designated URL.

Mazarrón...Mazarrón is a municipality in the province of Murcia

in South Eastern Spain. The municipality covers an

area of 318.7 square kilometres and has a

population of around 35,000. The area is listed in

the Top 10 of areas of Spain inhabited by the most

British Ex Patriates. The municipality is made up of

several towns and urbanisations including Puerto

De Mazarron, Isla Plana, Bolnuevo, Urbanisations

Camposol and Country Club and of course

Mazarron Town itself.

The Bay of Mazarrón is sheltered by the last

foothills of the Sierra de la Almenara, a mining area

since the Carthaginian era and has over 35 km of

beaches, unspoiled coves and rocky sea beds.

Mazarrón Town is a charming, traditional Spanish

town which over the last few years has seen

considerable economic growth and development.

Many of the old buildings have been restored to

their former glory and many new shops and

businesses open every month. Mazarrón has

always been a mining town, even in Roman times

and although today the mines are closed you can

still see the remains of the old mines, and walk

amongst them on the hillsides.

The traditional weekly market is held every

Saturday market in the main town square and there

is also an indoor market which is open every day

except Sunday.

Choosing a new mattress can seem overwhelming. There are so many d i f fe ren t t ypes and s izes , and

considering it is a major purchase, the decision of purchasing a new mattress is not one to be taken lightly. Here are some of the things you might want to think about…

Firstly, do you need to change your mattress? We are advised to change our mattress every 5 – 7 years but you are the best judge as to when the mattress should be changed within this time frame. What is the condition and comfort like on the mattress? When changing your bed sheets, take a moment each time to have a look at the mattress and its condition.

Lifestyle changes can accelerate the need to change a mattress. Has something changed? For example, do you read more and sit up in bed? Whilst sleeping are you moving about a lot more? Is there one of you or two of you in the bed now? Have sleeping patterns changed? You need to try and think about all aspects, whilst making the decision to buy a new mattress.

Our bodies naturally change over time, whether that be due to weight gain or loss, even pregnancy. It all adds different types of stress onto the mattress, including kids jumping about on the bed! A good indicator as to when you may need a new mattress is back pain or a tingle in the arms. Even if you do not have any of these early warning signs, ask yourself when you wake up in the morning, are you really having a good nights sleep?

You spend more time on your bed than any other piece of furniture in the home! Therefore, the characteristics of the different mattresses need to be explained to you so you can make an informed decision. But knowing all the

technicalities is not the same as the 'test drive'!

First, you need to lie down on several different models in various positions, but especially the one you usually sleep in – and partners should try mattresses together! Good retailers will be happy for you to do this.

Take those few extra moments to concentrate on the comfort you feel. You could save yourself time later. Remember, invest in your rest and improve the quality of your life!

See you soon for your very own “Test Drive”

Area Info...

Puerto De Mazarron is a beautiful Mediterranean

coastal resort in the municipality of Mazarron.

For many years the resort has been a holiday

destination for the Spanish with several kilometres

of unspoilt beaches which stretch from the crystal

blue waters of La Azhoia through to the naturally

formed sculptures of Bolnuevo.

Despite it´s typical Mediterranean climate with

cool sea breezes in summer and protection by

surrounding mountains against the cold North

winds in winter, Puerto de Mazarron has until very

recently been largely undiscovered by the British.

There has been considerable investment in the

development and modernisation of the new Marina

and Paseo in recent years which has encouraged a

rise in the number of international contemporary

style bars and restaurants but the resort has

remained typically Spanish and you won´t find a

KFC or Burger King for miles.

There are a variety of traditional style Spanish

restaurants serving wonderful seafood dishes for

which the Puerto de Mazarron has become quite

famous and many vibrant bars and music venues

which stay open late into the night.

Dealing with Legal Matters in Spain...

One of the main problems people face when

dealing with legal matters in Spain is that they

assume that it is the same as in their native

country.

The system here is very different than in the UK

and so whether buying a house, writing a

Spanish Will or dealing with financial affairs it is

extremely important to make sure that you

engage the services of independent, reputable

and established Legal Advisors.

When purchasing property for example, a lot of

people think they MUST have a lawyer but this is

in fact a myth as it is not obligatory in Spain. All

legal documents are signed before a Notary

and it is they who ensure that all documents

provided are legal. But they must also be sure

that you understand what you are doing hence

the need for a Translator. It is always

recommended that you use someone who has

a well-established office that you can call into,

someone who has good local knowledge and

can offer a personal continuous service well

after a transaction is completed. In particular if

you have bought a holiday home if you have a

problem it is nice to know that help is at hand at

the end of a telephone or by email.

Legal Representatives can usually also give

advice on wide range of legal issues and many

can draft important legal documents such as

Spanish Wills. Though it maybe something we

prefer not to think about, the system in Spain

differs greatly from that in the UK and making

sure that your affairs are in order can reduce the

stress and worry in the event of a death and

ease the inheritance process.

Unfortunately everyone has to pay taxes

whether you are a resident or not and you

should always know what your obligations are

in Spain. All too often people are happy to take

advice from their next door neighbour when

they really should be taking advice from a Legal

Representative.

With the right advice, living

your dream life in

Spain should

never be

a worry.

Zaén & Bajil Caves

The region of Zaén and Bajil is just under 2 hours

away from San Javier airport. It can be reached via

the village of El Sabinar and is a beautiful place to

visit for a day trip. The area is steeped in history as

the landscape was created 20 million years ago, and

is an impressive area of natural beauty. While

walking around you will be able to see the ancient

cliffs - rocks formed by millions of shells of marine

animals, diverse plants and trees as well as the Holm

Oak forest. This area is also home to many species

of birds including nightingales, warblers, wrens and

robins. The panoramic views are impressive so don't

forget to take your camera. The Bajil Chapparal is

nearly 1400 metres above sea level and before reaching the summit you will find the Bagil dolmen. Close

by there is a wonderful cave painting of a boat. To see more paintings head to El Calar de la Santa where

you will find the Cañaica del Calar and Fuente del Sabuco sites. For lunch you could head

to the pretty village of Moratalla then visit the Castle of military-gothic style which dates

from the 15th century.

Health & Happiness...

‘Tap’ your way to Wellnes...

motional Freedom Technique (aka

ETapping) is an exciting, simple and powerful therapeutic tool to improve

your well-being and overall wellness. It effectively forms the bridge between talk therapies and body therapies.

From physical pain to emotional strain, EFT produces amazing results!! It can even work via the internet and telephone thus widening the number of people who can be helped!! One of the most powerful abilities we have as human beings is to choose where to put our focus and attention, our energy, and by doing so we affect our emotional and physical wellness.

Often described as acupuncture without needles, EFT produces lasting results quite quickly. Acupuncture is based on the Chinese meridian energy system, and so is EFT.

Trapped negative energy in our bodies from past traumatic experiences in our lives disturbs the natural ow of life force energy which travels throughout our bodies and bodily systems via meridians. Meridians, are an invisible circuitry that deliver life force energy to all of the organs and tissues of the body. (Like the electrical circuitry in your home feeding plug sockets and l igh t ing ) . Trapped nega t i ve energy perpetuates negativity and can lead to illness. Freedom from negative thoughts and feelings is necessary to disperse this energy. As natural ow is restored to the body the “unconscious” intelligence of our mind/body system recovers balance, vitality, harmony and peace.

Using a simple finger tapping technique and statements linking the negative energy directly to positive energy, EFT neutralises the trapped negative energy in our “unconscious” energetic

system. People are able to clear out life-long blockages and f ree themselves f rom depressive and anxiety causing inuences very quickly. The effects are long lasting. Furthermore, as inner conicts are resolved physical healing often happens too. Chinese medicine has said for centuries, blocked energy is the root cause of sickness and disease.

EFT has been clinically proven to be effective in treating many things that keep us from having a happier, healthier life such as; ongoing stress, low se l f-es teem, fears and phobias , depression, chronic worry, insomnia, back pain, anxiety, trauma, confidence issues, weight loss, weight management, unhealthy habits, limiting thinking and beliefs, addictive behaviours, childhood issues, physical tension, pain etc.

Properly applied by a trained EFT practitioner noticeable improvements or complete cessation of the problem are achieved. Some professionals like doctors, believe that it is the missing piece in the health and wellness puzzle

An extremely effective tool, it is also extremely adaptable. It requires no machinery or appliance, is drug-free and can often work were traditional methods fail.EFT offers a new level of health and happiness without drugs, needles or negative side effects.

The only way to find out if EFT works for you is to try it!

11th April - Friday

Local Holiday in Aguilas & Cartagena

th th13 to the 20 of April - Holy week ́ Semana Santa´

Spain is renowned for its Semana Santa traditions

and most villages and towns will be celebrating

with processions, fiestas, fireworks and events

going on throughout the week.

You will notice that the processions feature people

wearing the Nazareno robe (see our front cover)

This consists of a tunic, a cloak and a “capriote”, a

conical shaped hood which conceals the face of

the wearer. The colours of these robes vary

depending on the procession. In the medieval

period these robes and hoods were used by

penitents who were able to demonstrate without

revealing their identity. In modern times the sight

of these robes may cause dismay due to their

being appropriated & worn by racist groups - so

it’s good to know their true meaning is the exact

opposite - piety & humility...

Those involved in the Easter processions are from

Christian brotherhoods associations whose

origins date back to the middle ages. They will

carry the sculptures or oats that show different

scenes from the gospels related to the passion of

Christ throughout the processions.

th17 April - Maundy Thursday

As a public holiday this day commemorates the

last supper of Christ & there will be solemn

processions throughout towns and villages.

th18 April is also a public holiday, as this day marks

Christ’s crucifixion & death. Special church

services will be held and processions will be

underway in the evening

th20 April - Easter Sunday

Marks the resurrection of Christ. On this day the

Godfather of a child will present them with a cake

known as ´La Mona´, a pan shape adorned with

characters. Celebrations will be happening but

will be less solemn than those during the week.

During the Easter period in Spain, people will be

eating ‘Torrijas’, thick slices of bread soaked in

milk and beaten egg, fried in olive oil and served

with honey or sugar. Also popular is ‘Un Pestino’,

a plain and simple fritter fried in olive oil and again

sprinkled with honey or sugar.

stMay 1 – Labour Day – Fiesta del Trabajo

Labour day stems from ancient pagan customs

associated with the celebration of spring.

Osee the question...

“Is it safe to drink the water in Spain?”

The short answer is generally “Yes”, though in reality you would probably prefer not to.

In general terms in most urban areas of Spain it is perfectly acceptable to drink the water from the tap; however the quality can vary from good to very poor and this inconsistency means that most people in Spain prefer to drink bottled water.

When comparing the tap water in Spain to that in the UK, the main difference that people notice is the discolouration and the unpleasant taste and odour. This is mainly due to the different, often higher levels of chemicals introduced into the Spanish water supply particularly chlorine. Whilst boiling water will kill bacteria, it will not remove the chemical impurities.

Chlorine is important as it kills harmful bacteria associated with serious disease but research has shown that as well as the unpleasant taste, there are considerable health risks associated with consumption of excessive chlorine. In Spain, chlorine can only be removed from the water at the point of use ie immediately before it comes out of the tap!

One of the other main problems with the water in Spain is that it is very hard, with high concentrations of calcium and magnesium. Consequently you will find that limescale builds

up quickly and it can have a severely damaging effect on pipes, water boilers and domestic appliances such as kettles, irons, washing machine and dishwashers. Heating costs are increased and the lifespan of appliances is significantly reduced.

So what’s the solution?

The solution depends on your particular problem but without doubt one of the most simple and cost effective options is to install a water filtration system. Drinking Water Filtration Systems fit discreetly underneath your sink and give you bottled water quality straight from the tap. The Whole House System which is attached to the mains supply removes sediment and prevents limescale build up.

For FULL PROTECTION it is recommended that you need BOTH systems but you can have one without the other. There are various types of Water Filtration System on the market so before parting with your money you need to make sure that you know exactly what you are getting.

As with most things in life you get what you pay for!
