Voting in Spain

The chance to register to vote in the 2011 local elections closes at the end of this year. It's worth while joining in with all the various rights and obligations of our community, because that's integration. There's a purpose-directed webpage called Voting in Spain by an Englishman on the Costa Blanca called Russ which is worth reading. Meanwhile, I'm at the Mojácar town hall each Tuesday at 12 noon through the end of December to help anyone who wants to register on the padrón or register to vote.

Mojácar's Art Museum

Angel Medina was in Jerez de la Frontera recently, accompanying his brother-in-law, the artist José Morera ('El Hortelano'), at a prize giving officiated by His Royal Highness Don Felipe the Prince of Asturias. The prize, also given to Julio Iglesias the singer and others, was the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes.
Sr Medina, who intends to open the 'Museo de Arte de la Ciudad de Mojácar' art museum shortly, hopes to begin with an exhibition by El Hortelano. He has asked the Town Hall to make contact with the Casa Real to see if a visit by the Prince and Princess to perhaps attend the opening ceremony would be feasable.

Sr Medina also visited Madrid earlier this week to meet La Baronesa Von Thyssen, who had that same day opened an exhibition in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza
(Paseo del Prado 8, Madrid) called 'Impressionist Gardens', to plan future exhibitions in the soon-to-be opened Mojácar museum.
