It is often said that knowledge is power, and this is never more accurate than when you establish yourself as a foreign resident in a new country, like Spain. Being able to quickly familiarise yourself with the culture, rules, events, and customs can help ease the transition during a challenging time.
This is why Euro Weekly News makes it our mission to provide you with a free news resource in English that covers both regional and national Spanish news – anything that we feel you will benefit from knowing as you integrate into your new community and live your best life in Spain. In this way, you can forget about translating articles from Spanish into awkward English that probably don’t make much sense. Let us be your convenient and essential guide to all things that will likely affect you as a foreign resident living in Spain.

A new campaign is being launched in Benalmadena to encourage shoppers into the centre of the town to do their Christmas shopping.
But this is not mere advertising, as it will have benefits for consumers as well. There will be the ‘Win a Shop Window’ raffle with prizes valued at more than €4,000; the handing out of 1,200 free parking vouchers in the Pueblosol car park; free entertainment; and gift bags from the shops taking part in the promotion.
Feliz Benalvidad, as the campaign is called, is also counting on visits from Santa Claus to each of the shops taking part in the Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmadena Costa areas, as well as Benalmadena Pueblo on December 27.
As for the ‘Gana en escaparate’ (Win a shop window) raffle, tickets will be given out to those who spend €20 or over in participating shops. The prizes on offer are worth over €4,000, and the draw will be made by a notary at the beginning of January.
The Councillor for Commerce gave details about the campaign, saying, Park easily and buy nearby, which includes the distribution of 1,200 vouchers for 8 hours of free parking in the Pueblosol car park during business hours. This initiative aims to allow customers to park for free if they make their purchases in the associated stores of the central shopping districts of Benalmádena.
