Belly Dancing

If you haven’t tried it yet – you must. Put it down in your diary as one of those ‘must have a go at that’. It was a lot more athletic than I imagined. A cross between yoga, martial-arts and dance, and I now have aches in places Ididn’t know I had places. The teacher was [...]

Popular with European golfers for many years the area has become better known farther afield [...]

Home Shopping Mercadona Style

Did you know that Mercadona will do a home delivery of your shopping? You can either go in and shop yourself, or order online. The other day I tried the first option and have to say was suitably impressed. As usual here in Spain, it wasn´t without its complications to start with, but once I [...]

ONE hundred and twenty people planted trees to create the first Ikea Family Forest in Arboretum Marbella.

All the participants received a ‘Friend of the IKEA Forest’ card which includes the GPS co-ordinates of the trees that they planted so they can find them in years to come.

This event took place within the campaign “Create your IKEA FAMILY forest” which was launched in May 2011.

This initiative donates 0.10€ to the Foundation + árboles every time that a member uses their Ikea Family card, funding the creation of forests throughout the Iberian Penisula.

It was a lot more athletic than I imagined. A cross between yoga, martial-arts and dance, and I now have aches in places Ididn’t know I had places. The teacher was called Inma, and she is very thorough when it comes to techniques and also explained the ethos behind Belly Dancing.

The classes are held at the new studios of Niko Valiente and his team of fabulous dance instructors and performers. Although not exactly in Elviria, and thought they were worthy of a mention. Niko’s partner is Marisa, who works in Elviria and between they hold the following dance titles -

They do all sorts of dance styles and now includes classes for children. For more information visit www.NikoValiente.com

There is a new Indian Restaurant in Elviria – yah! And it offers home delivery – double yah!
After last years dreadful weather this will be a blessing, when you just do not want to leave the house, and really can’t manage another pizza (I cant think of any other delivery around here at the moment but if you know different please let me know)
The Taj Mahal is located behind Open Cor, next door to Bar Uno (where Browns used to be).
We ordered Chicken Balti, Vegetable Balti, Vegetable Byriani, Piau Rice, Chips, Garlic Nan, Chapati, Onion Bhaji plus dips.
It was delivered within 30 mins, quite smoothly given it was the first time they had been to us.
The portion sizes were very generous. The taste was really really good and the chicken tender.
Would have liked slighty bigger Bhajis, as they were more like pakora, but you cant have everythhing.
Guess how much? Incredible value at 32,95 including delivery!
Amazing, at last a decent curry, in walking distance and reasonable prices – sorted.
