Story & Music Evening - Bar Esperanza - 14th May 2026 - 5pm

  The Written Word Group in association with Bar Esperanza are proud to present:  A Night of Music, Story Telling & Poetry. Date: Thursday 14th May 2026 - 5pm Location: Bar Esperanza Avenida Andalucía, La Alfoquía  (next to / junto a Arboleas Oil gas station) Contact:  642 52 21 01 (To book a table) Expectations: High This Story & Music Night, is about connection: between voices and listeners, between memory and imagination, between the stories we share and the music that we carry within us. A storyteller isn't just a narrator—they're our oldest guides . In ancient Ireland, they were as valued as kings, and ever since those first campfires were lit at the dawn of time, they’ve been our teachers, our entertainers, who nudge the world toward change. Each performer brings a little piece of their own journey, and hopefully together we’ll shape something that only exists here in this place at this time at this moment. May you hear a poem that stays with you, a son...

Parque Copihue in Peñuelas (Cathartic) by Mongolita

To her surprise, it was the same couple who had stopped five years earlier to ask if the place was open to the public while they were having a BBQ. She re...

SPARKLES WRITTEN BY MONGOLITA

SPARKLES - THE EUROSIAN GOLDEN ORIOLE We as newcomers arrived to this wonderful arid land of Los Huevanillas nine years ago. I was unaware of its beauty until I ventured into the surroundings, so rich in its flora and fauna. Almond trees come in bloom between the months of January and March, orange trees in bloom during the months of April, olive trees in May and June, and not forgetting the multiple blooming of the lemon trees throughout the year. The bees busy buzzing pollinating the flowers, birds singing their morning songs and different insects aerating and fertilising the soil which is breathtaking. The contact with nature made me feel alive. I was perceptive to the different birds, busy singing when I heard this distinctive and particular bird song which registered in my mind. I noticed the same singing the following year. So we named this gorgeous bird Sparkles. He visits us every year in the early month of May keeping us company throughout the summer....
