If, like me, a couple of years ago, you used to enjoy eating at LPs in Pinoso when it was run by Manolo and María, you may be pleased to know that they have now opened a restaurant in their home in El Cantón.
They will be open for lunches from Thursday to Sunday inclusive each week, but they would appreciate it if you could call beforehand to give them an idea of numbers.
"Casa Manolo y María" - El Cantón - 653 063 717 or 681 007 595
I´m going to try to visit next Thursday or Friday and get hold of a map!

Irrigation Water - SAT de Pinoso
I have been asked by the Bodega Cooperativa in Pinoso to contact as many users of SAT Pinoso irrigation water as possible to inform them of proposals being made by the Bodega before the next SAT elections.
I am told that there is considerable concern about the rising costs of water amongst the commercial users of SAT Pinoso and that they consider these costs are mainly the result of profligacy and inefficiency by the current SAT Board. As a result, the Bodega is putting forward two candidates for the coming elections with the express policy of reducing costs and prices.
Every user (socio) of SAT Pinoso is entitled to attend the next assembly and to vote members to the Board, and the Bodega would like as many socios as possible to hear their arguments. Socios may also vote by proxy if they wish, and arrangements can be made.
If you are a socio of SAT Pinoso and are concerned by rising costs, please reply to this post by e-mail to ucl.cliver@gmail.com giving your name and contact details, and I will try to make sure you are included in the information process.

Public Holidays in April
Just to remind you there are regional public holidays on the next 2 Mondays - Monday 9th is Easter Monday
Monday 16th is San Vicente
Monday 16th is San Vicente
EU Register - new format
In 2007, the residency card for EU citizens was replaced by an unwieldy piece of green A4 paper, known as the "certificado de registro de residente comunitario". This year, the A4 paper has been replaced by a smaller card (credit card size), still green and still without a photo, but much easier to fit into a wallet or purse.
If you would like to change to this new format, the Comisería in Elda say you will have to go through the full process again, filling in an EX-18 form (available from the Internet) (or an out-of-date EX-16 form from the Comisería!), handing in your old green form together with a copy of your passport, padrón (less than 3 months old) and NIE, and paying €10,20.
Incidentally, if you are already on the register and change your address or your passport you are expected to update the details at the Comisería each time a change occurs.
