Having recently moved my business to the South of Spain, I have started presenting an afternoon show on Valle Radio which broadcasts from Albox to the whole of the Almanzora Valley and the coast including Huercal Overa, Garrucha, Vera, Mojacar, Villaricos, Oria and Olula del Rio. Tune in one day.

Another site that I find useful is www.search-almeria.com which provides a wealth of information specific to the province of Almeria in southern Spain.
