There is plenty to rejoice about in Nerja too with one of our longest standing clients , Irish Annies , celebrating their 20 year anniversary . See page 21 for details . Many congratulations from all of us at Soltalk to Ann and her team .
The town hall have asked us to remind our readers about the Padron - the town population list , also known as the Empadronamiento . This register give the number of inhabitants of a town . Registering on the Padron is free and it helps Nerja to receive more funds from the Government for local services such as doctors , health centres , schools , police , firemen , infrastructure and social care . Anybody coming to Nerja regularly several months a year as an owner or renting a property can register on the Padron . You don ’ t have to be a Resident holding the green card or sheet . You just need your passport and a utility bill or a document with your name and address in Nerja . You can register on the Padron at any time of the year . For more information , email the town hall on extranjeros @ nerja . es and do your part to help the town .
Meanwhile relax and have a read , you ’ ll find all our regular features including a look at the news and this month ’ s Book Talk features only books written by local authors . Enjoy !
