Halloween 2013 en Mer – Home of the “Scary Kürbis” en el corazón de la Ribeira Sacra

Hola,

Halloween 2013 in Meryes it has been some time since I wrote a new blog. So much is happening, threatening legislation to finally shut down Spain, potential taxes on Photovoltaic (tax on sunlight), we now have our license for casa vacacional but the hoteliers are trying to shut down occasional rental of homes and rooms…..

Preparation Cocina

Well we organised this years Halloween – If you can’t have a fiesta its not worth living, at least here in Mer !

Halloween helper It is great to have helpers that do not have to be trained.

A well stocked bar helps and thanks to the neighbours there is no shortage of excellent wine and stronger stuff for afters.
