We at your Gran Alacant Advertiser continue to bring you all of the news, including that from our Gran Alacant Councillor, Loreto Cascales, as we have since May 2005. It is our perogative at the magazine, NOT to update this 2005 picture, as we all looked a great deal younger!!! An evening out at the cinema We start this month letting you know of a lovely evening out, organised by “La Matera” restaurant in Santa Pola. We were picked up by Bailes bus company on Gran Alacant at 6.30pm and taken to the La Matera restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely meal + wine. The bus then took us up the road to the very modern cinema in Santa Pola which every Thursday shows an English speaking film. We watched “Les Miserables”. Again the bus was ready and waiting for us to provide transport back to Gran Alacant. All of this was arranged by Alan at the restaurant. You can book through him and ring to ask what film is showing for that particular week. His phone number is on his advert on page 29. -----------------------------------A Sunday afternoon out Next, a Sunday afternoon out which can be enjoyed at the Easycare Horse Resue Centre at Rojales.
