 With the run up to Christmas I spent more time in the local shops of Calahonda and the Thursday Market of Calypso, to my suprise the Local Police of Mijas were out in force in the days running up to the year end.

I helped some poor brit who was on his holidays here as the police demanded his NIE number and Residencia card, to which he had no idea what they were. His car was photographed as it was on bristish plates and he was fined 250 euros for parking in a loading bay. The police at one point were thinking of impounding the car until he could prove it had only just aarrived in Spain.

the poor guy informed me he was here on a weeks holiday after driving down from France but after his treatment at the hands of the police he would not be comming back!

I sat and had a cold beer at a local cafe and watched the police hand out some 5 fines in 1 hour and tow 1 car.

Never in my 5 years of living in calahonda had i seen so much police action in ElZoco!

I wonder if Mijas Townhall needed some cash for the year end?
