Biking & Baking in Las Alpujarras

We've been in Spain for over 4 years now - plus 4 motorbikes - and a horse - join us for the ride!

BEWARE OF PERFUME SELLERS!
Thursday, March 1, 2012 @ 8:07 PM

I have been told that there are thieves working in this area (Granada/Almeria/Malaga) who offer you a smell of some wondrous new perfume that they are selling, but it actually contains ether! This will make you dizzy or pass out altogether, and they can then rob you at leisure. Be careful in secluded places if you are offered anything like this, by men or women, and keep your distance! This information came from a reliable Spanish source and I have no reason to doubt it. Pass it on to anyone you know living out here.

Well that's a new one to me but I can believe it. I'm seeing more crafty ways that people are using to either rob people or steal from their homes.

You've certainly got to have your wits about you these days.

I've heard that thiefs are turning the water and electricity off on peoples properties and also leaving a pile of stones at your gate and if the water or electric hasn't been turned back on or the stones removed then they'll know that there isn't anyone using the house!!! Beware

Interesting to hear about that one Irving - scoundrels everywhere! Luckily we have neighbours in the village who would soon see strangers fiddling about, but anyone in a cortijo would have to be careful. The only recent theft up here involved someone's 'stash' of an illegal substance, but people are unpredictable when times are hard, so anything and anywhere is at risk!

I'm heading towards 65 and enjoying life out here in Spain with my partner Steve and all our great friends here and in the UK. I have cancer and know a bit about the Spanish health system these days, but my motto is 'it'll get me one day but not yet!' We live simply, enjoy good company, the fabulous scenery and fresh air, our motorbikes and my special Andalusian mare Canela. Also the village cats! Home-baking has given way to growing vegetables, walking and riding, but we never know what else may crop up! And you can rent our s/c granero if you contact me direct. I have lots to say, so blogging is a good way to do it!
