About Us

This site is about Jimena de la Frontera, Campo de Gibraltar, the province of Cadiz and Spain as whole focused on this small village in the mountains.

Our aim is to keep English-speaking residents and non-residents abreast of what goes on here; to reinforce a sense of community and belonging to a place where we have chosen to live or spend our holidays; to create a bridge between the local community and the expats; to help with the language; and to have some fun with what we hope is a sense of humour.

The site is managed and written mostly by a long-time resident who goes under the name of Prospero, but whose real name is Alberto Bullrich. He speaks native Spanish although he and his mother tongue are English. His purpose in creating this site is to return a little of the much he has received from the people of Jimena over the thirty-plus years he has known the village. It is the least he can do.

Please note the words ‘nonprofit dilemma’ in the above cartoon. While taking care of this site takes up a great deal of time and effort, it is essentially a nonprofit enterprise. However, we do charge our advertisers a very modest sum for their presence here, the idea being to cover at least some of costs involved. We are very grateful to all of them, past, present and future, for their support.

And we’re very grateful to you, Dear Reader, for visiting us. Of course, if you’d like to donate a little something you can go to the PayPal icon on the sidebar and do your thing safely and securely. We will undoubtedly be even more grateful.
