We sometimes pick up The Olive Press, you can also read it online at

www.theolivepress.es
I'm always disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually catch on fire.

It is worth considering forking out 1.20€ for the Cosa Blanca News (or Costa del Sol News further southwest), even though they have not sacked their dyslexic proofreader yet.

When we lived in Costa Tropical, once a month we would go to the Tourist office in Salobreña. They had loads of english free press, The Sentinella, Sur, Olive Press, Coastal Gazette, and at least 2 more i forget the names of.

I only wish I could get just one, over here near Huelva! :cry:

Happy Reading! (and feel free to post them to me when you´ve finished with them. :wink: )

the papers on the costa del sol are the sur in english, euroweekly, and the town crier, and the best one is the olive press which deals more with
inland , granada and more remote places

Hi Pilgrim. Many thanks. I picked one up at Almonte Tourist Office a year ago....only to find that was the last delivery they were taking, as no takers for them here :cry: I have tried all around but have yet to find anywhere near that has the Oracle in! :cry:
Think we´ll take a trip to Niebla later this week...we have been meaning to go for ages, so good excuse to get going!
Many thanks.

I would imagine that the dirty tricks brigade (of which I have had personal experience) of the Euro WEekly had a large amount to do with Olive Press being unavailable..they will go to any lengths to sabotage ANY potential competition!
