Dear Readers and Supporters, April already! Have you changed your clocks?

Its amazing how 1 hours sleep can make you feel disorientated for a few days. However, this is it we can look forward to the lighter evenings and warmer days now we are in spring.

The start of April sees celebrations of Holy Week (29th March to the 5th of April). Watch out for the elaborate Semana Santa processions during this week. You will see traditional medieval robed and hooded figures, slowly walking behind swaying life-sized religious effigies, followed by women in black carrying candles. In some situations they walk barefoot with shackles and chains on their feet as sort of penance.

Processions are organised throughout the Holy Week but certainly the most spectacular ones are those on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

Thank you to all the people who sent in photos taken in the Axarquia during March.

Please continue to do so, this time capturing your images in April and send them in to The Directory by the 15th of April as one will be included in the May issue.

You can follow us on our social media pages and keep up to date with our advertisers news and offers and what´s going on throughout the month. You can also read The Directory through our website and our online readership substantially grows every month as people enjoy having The Directory to hand on their mobile devices.

ALARM SYSTEMS Security for Rental Homes We all know, Spain has seen an increase in burglaries at holiday accommodations, according to the Foreign Office, which is advising all travelers to make sure their accommodation has adequate security and that they lock all doors and windows at night or when they are out.

Owners of rental holiday homes should feel responsible for the security of their guests.

From the legal point of view, there is no obligation to take any measures. But as a responsible landlord, who cares for their customers, we suggest getting in touch with us, to discuss solutions that fit your needs which are easy to handle and respect the privacy of the holiday renters.

Another major advantage, you are always informed about irregularities, while you are not around. You can even add an option to automatically turn the Air Conditioner off, when your customers are leaving your rental, as they activate the alarm system?

This Information is brought to you, by ¡PERFECT Alarm! SL, the professional experts for all your security needs. Here in the Axarquia you can find many satisfied customers who have stopped burglary attempts with our quality systems. We provide the latest technology and equipment that fits each property and situation. We understand that no two homes or lifestyle are the same, so we provide quality security systems that fit your individual needs.

For more information or a free demonstration, contact ¡Perfect Alarm! S.L. Contact 608 517 661or www.perfect-alarm.com.

BEAUTY SALONS

BEAUTY SALONS Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree, which is native to New South Wales in Australia, and also grows in Asia. Tea tree oil was used as a topical treatment by the Aboriginal people for centuries. Tea tree oil has strong antifungal and antiseptic properties, tea tree is a common ingredient in many natural skinand body-care products and can help alleviate an array of skin conditions, such as dandruff, athlete’s foot and acne.

At RUMOURS Hair Salon in Puente don Manuel they stock Paul Mitchell hair products which have a fantastic product range. The Tea Tree special shampoo contains a blend of natural tea tree oil, peppermint and lavender. The oil reduces itching and redness caused by dandruff and psoriasis and which could help improve better hair and scalp condition, less dandruff and shinier hair.

This month at Rumours, they have a special offer for a relaxing Tea tree Indian head massage, see their advert under Hairdressing for more information.

Over the past 15 years Lake Vinuela and the Alcaucin valley has become a popular destination for people looking for an alternative to the overcrowded and expensive town to the west of Malaga. The area to the east of Malaga enjoys the same beautiful weather, the same countryside and the same quality of life but at a lower cost of living and pace. VillaSolutions is the leading estate agent in the area with a portfolio of over 300 individually sourced villas ranging from €100,000 to over €1 million. Lake Vinuela and the Alcaucin Valley has a thriving population of expatriates from North Europe, so you can always find someone to chat to in the many bars and restaurants. The town of Velez-Malaga is a 15-minute drive and the beach resort of Torre del Mar only 5 minutes more. Malaga city and the airport is a very close 40-minute drive free of the traffic jams you encounter in other cities. Altogether we feel the area offers the best of both worlds and should be on the list for anyone looking for fantastic value for money.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided Universal Life Energy which is channelled through the practitioner to the client. Reiki helps to harmonize and balance mind, body and spirit.

What happens during a Reiki treatment?

You relax, fully clothed, on a massage table or couch while the healer holds his hands on or above you. A treatment can last an hour or longer depending on the treatment required. The hands are moved down the body covering all the chakras (energy centres) and main organs of the body. There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required (spiritually guided) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!

What can Reiki be used for?

Reiki can be used for many ailments like reducing stress, relieving pain, headaches, stomach upsets, back problems, asthma - respiratory problems, PMT, menstrual problems, sinus, anxiety and many more. Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment, it should be used as a compliment and a way to become and remain healthy).

There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment.

As in any healing the first step towards a healthier life is a desire to be healed.

What are the benefits of Reiki?

• • • • •

Promotes natural self-healing Balances the energies in the body Balances the organs and glands Strengthens the immune system Treats symptoms and causes of illness • Relieves pain

• • • • •

Clears toxins Enhances personal awareness Relaxes and reduces stress Promotes creativity Releases blocked and suppressed feelings • Aids meditation and positive thinking

Reiki can be booked on its own or combined with an Indian Head Massage which I talked about in the last issue.

Quaintly Spanish I just love Spanish high ways.

Back in Amsterdam congestion started at 6.00 in the morning and didn’t really wind down until about 22.00 at night. Whereas here I can drive from Malaga to Portugal and barely touch my brakes. Well maybe slow down a little at that awkward bit in Seville where you cross the bridge, but other than that, just miles and miles of lovely empty tarmac, waiting to be conquered.

All that wide open space has its inevitable downside though: I’m often slapped with fines for speeding. I remember the first fine I got in Spain, for making an (alleged!) illegal turn. I’d only been in Spain for a short while and I was baffled by the Spanish approach to fining: Police officer: “That’ll be 130 euros.”

Me: “I don’t have 130 euros.”

P.O.: “How much have you got?”

Me: “40 euros.”

P.O.: “Okay, I’ll give you a 30% discount, make it 40 euros.”

A discount? Seriously? And how on earth is 40 euros a 30% discount from 130?!! Though I figured it might be better not to point that out.

Somehow these days when I receive a fine for (alleged!) speeding it’s always the third and final warning. So where on earth do the first two letters go? Do they end up next to my runaway socks, in some parallel universe? Though mind you I’ve found that there isn’t that much of a mystery to my ‘other’ socks, most of them are simply stuck at the bottom of my laundry hamper.

Maybe that’s where I should start looking for my next fine as well...
