Festival Arte Sano 9 – Dec 6 & 7 – San Pedro Alcantara

Arte-Sano9-eTransformation is the theme of this edition of the popular healing arts festival that will be held in San Pedro on the weekend of December 6 and 7. The Arte Sano festivals have been running for 8 years now, offering a chance for people to experience different ways of living, and transforming their lives through healthier eating, holistic disciplines like Yoga, meditation and personal development. The Arte Sano festivals are weekend events that are packed with activities for people interested in trying something new – classes and workshops give people the chance to try practical activities, while talks and conferences can introduce new and innovative ideas. The eco-holistic market has all kinds of natural and organic products as well as original artisan gifts, ideal with Christmas just round the corner. “San Pedro’s municipal ‘Carpa’ provides an excellent venue for this event,” explains Monica Bereuther, co-organiser of the event. “It is very easy to find in the town’s feria ground and has enough space for the diverse market as well as all the activities. As a complement to our summer edition on the Paseo Maritimo, it serves to bring our message of natural living to a wider audience.”

Join Specsavers Opticas on World Diabetes Day

Diabetic testing Specsavers FuengirolaTo support World Diabetes Day on the 14th of November and raise awareness of the issues related to diabetes and blindness, Specsavers Opticas is joining forces with local diabetes associations to offer customers free healthy snacks and information about diabetes and how it affects the eye. They are also offering free eye tests throughout November, which are able to detect the signs of Diabetic Retinopathy. This condition affects vision when the blood vessels in the retina are damaged by the changes in blood sugar levels and can cause permanent sight loss. If these signs are identified during an eye test, patients are referred to a doctor for further tests and treatment.

Specsavers in Fuengirola will be holding a free diabetes screening event in store on 14th November from 10am to 1:30pm, in association with La Cala de Mijas Lions Diabetics Support Group. This is open to all and totally free of charge. During the event, a qualified nurse will be conducting a simple finger prick test to detect the signs of diabetes and an appointment is not necessary. Results will be given immediately and if positive, patients will be referred for medical advice.
