Welcome to the March issue of Soltalk. March the month the clocks go forward and it starts to feel like summer is on the way! We love that! And of course we have Easter this month, early as it is all based on full moons and such like, but whenever it happens the processions around Nerja are always a sight to behold, and can be very moving.

Do you believe in reincarnation? If so you will be fascinated by Marilyn Barry’s story on page 42 of this issue which continues on from her previous articles about her travels to Egypt. Or perhaps you are feeling artistic? A local resident and artist Barry is offering Art Classes in Nerja, please see page 28 to find out more.

And how can we forget everyone’s favourite date in March? Yes of course it is St Patrick’s Day on Sunday March 17th. And the place to be on Paddy’s Day is Irish Annies of course! So see their ad on page 27 for details of all the celebrations. Go and join in “the craic” as they say!

We wish everyone a happy Paddy’s Day and a happy Easter, and we hope you enjoy this issue!
