The Plaza de los Naciones in Los Pocillos, Puerto del Carmen will host two festivals this summer to rock the resort, the Lanzarote Summer Festival and the Oktoberfest 2011. Two initiatives organized in collaboration with local Government and the municipality of Tias, which will helpto raise funds for AFA (Association of families with Alzheimers) and for sports clubs of the island.

The Lanzarote Music Summer Festival will be held on Friday 30 September from 4pm to 1:30 am. It will feature performances by bands from the island, and the German group The Silk Rabbits.

The next day, Octpber 1st, will be the second edition of the Oktoberfest , the Festival of Beer. The first day, to be held from 10am to 11pm, there will be an opening ceremony, where the Municipal Band will attend and also there will be Bavarian-polka music.

There is a great page that has recently been set up on Facebook which is great for all of the residents.

I have sold a microphone on there and a LP - MP3 converter. It was great as these things were just sitting around at home not being used and now have gone to a new home, and even better I got some money for them!

So have a look and join the group, and make sure that you keep an eye on it daily as things sell quickly.

Good news! The Playa Honda Intercambio is starting again!

This Wednesday (21st September 2011) from 5pm to 7pm in Friends Bar, Playa Flor Bungalows, La Concha, Playa Honda.

So if it's your first time or you are a regular - come along, the more the merrier! It is an opportunity for you to chat informally with native Spanish speakers and helps you to learn the language without being in a classroom situation.

It was a great success before finishing for the summer holidays, so please come along and help us to continue to be a success.

The Cabildo of Lanzarote, in conjunction with the City of Tinajo, has made some recommendations and given some tips for all those for the next few days, specifically the September 17, that decide to go to parties of Dolores in Mancha Blanca. Both institutions have reported on the Self-Defense and Safety Plan, state and sections of roads, safe routes for pilgrims, scheduled special services buses, and made some recommendations on road safety for the pilgrimage.

The Minister of Safety and Emergency and President of the Consortium, Monica Alvarez, has detailed that the pilgrimage will begin at 08:00 am on Saturday, September 17 and end at 08:00 on Sunday September 18.
