November 14 to 23 Annual Fiestas del Milagro in Bolnuevo in Mazarron
"Sardine Sunday" on the beach of Bolnuevo falls on November 23 this year!
The coastal village of Bolnuevo in the municipality of Mazarrón is holding its 2025 Fiestas del Milagro between November 14 and 23 this year, with the celebrations once again revolving around the miraculous events which saved the town from attack by Berber pirates in 1585.
For most people the highlights of the fiestas are the “Romerías”, in which the figure of the Virgen del Milagro is carried first from Bolnuevo to Mazarrón and then, a week later, back to her sanctuary in Bolnuevo, and the final day on the beach, when everyone comes together for a sardine barbecue known by some British expats as Sardine Sunday".

The languages spoken by the experts at PALS include not only Spanish and English but also French, German, Dutch and Swedish, making them accessible to the vast majority of non-Spaniards with interests in the Costa Cálida.
The main services offered include the following:
Property law and conveyancing
PALS have dealt with countless property sales and purchases over the years, but their services regarding property are not limited to the conveyancing side. They can also help in finding the right property, arranging finance‚ securing an NIE number, opening a Spanish bank account, ensuring Due Diligence, overcoming the potential difficulties after Brexit (such as the requirement for British nationals to obtain a military permit if buying certain properties in the Costa Cálida!) and even helping to organize repairs and refurbishments once the property is yours!
And in completing transactions, PALS accompany you to the notary to check the deeds before signing, make all the arrangements for tax obligations to be correctly met, and register the deeds with Land Registry.
The team also have experience in dealing with the controversial mortgage rate “floor clauses” which were included in many loan conditions in the past, protecting clients’ interests against lending banks.
In addition, if you plan to rent out your Spanish home it is vital to make sure you do so legally, and again PALS can help you to put everything in place quickly, easily and with the minimum hassle.
Tax and Accounting
Taxation in Spain can be a complex topic, and at a time when the current Spanish tax system is regularly subject to review on issues surrounding Brexit, globalisation, and even the popularity of cryptocurrency, it is especially important to make sure that your affairs are up to date with the latest requirements.
PALS will take care of all the legalities regarding fiscal residence in Spain, legal tax obligations for both residents and non-residents and property taxes, guaranteeing that tax declarations are filed on time and no surcharges or other unpleasant surprises are incurred.
Inheritance and Wills

At PALS, making a will could not be easier: simply explain your preferences to the staff and they will produce the necessary document – in two languages if required – leaving you with nothing more to do except sign it before a notary.
