Spring is in the air. There seems to be an atmos-phere of excitement now that winter
is moving on. What winter? Folks, let’s get real. Mojácar’s self-imposed hibernation Wake up,
smell the coffee or roses and begin to realize that while winter days here might be a tad cool,
they are by no means Cold and certainly not a reason to stay indoors bor-ders on the ridiculous..
We need to get out more and begin to breath life into this area all year round. Mind you, I’m not
advocating us losing our quaint charm and suggesting we replace it with big city noisiness where
the lights never go off. But c’mon, seriously!
I understand this area traditionally saw many businesses close during the winter or ‘off-season’ but this past season due to the weather, economic reasons, lack of tourism or whatever reasons, gave everyone a sense of nervousness and the result was that many businesses that might have normally stayed open, closed. It is my opinion and certainly the opinion of some local residents I have spoken to that local residents need and want something to do during the “off-season”. Perhaps many of the local residents thought the tradition of seeing places closed during this period continued to exist and by default, opted not to go out because they thought the local bars, restaurants and other businesses were closed. A good number of businesses did remain open. I’ve heard stories about people venturing out to have dinner and had to search for somewhere to go for over an hour. That’s a shame, now isn’t it? Enough said on that subject!
