11 Tools, Spanish Classes And Activities Almuñécar & La Herradura

We all have different learning styles and preferences when learning something new.  It is no different when you want to study Spanish.  Some of us prefer one-to-one Spanish lessons and some prefer group Spanish classes.  While some like to get into the details of grammar, others prefer just to listen, learn and chat.  Is it best to have intensive Spanish lessons, occasional lessons, play games or just meet up with friends once a week?  Only you know what you need and which will work best for you and perhaps it is a combination of them all!

El Tiempo en Almuñécar (The Weather in Almuñécar)

Many people ask us about the weather in Almuñécar, so that means it time to make a post about it!  Let’s first start by saying that the sun is usually shining, but it too needs to take a siesta once in a while.  The weather we have described in this post is what we’ve experienced from 2012 and we consider to be “usual”.  That said, for the past few years there has been a little more “unusual” weather, with cold snaps in October and a warm February.  This is only meant as a rough guide for each month, as we obviously can’t control Mother Nature.

Funerals in Spain, Dying and Death

The attitude to death and funerals in Spain is somewhat different from that of the UK and other countries.  The Spanish believe the funeral should happen as soon as possible, to allow the family to return to normality as quickly as possible.  Therefore, funerals tend to take place within 24-48 hours, I’ve known them to take place the same day.  So, what should you do when someone dies in Spain?  Do you know what to do, where to start?  Do you know what your loved one’s wishes are?

Funerals in Spain as well as information you need to know as a foreigner about dying in Spain or dealing with the death of a loved one. Read more on Almunecarinfo.com
