The U3A Marina Baixa is a lively and active Association with various Groups. We have weekly Spanish for beginners, intermediates and conversation. Also weekly is the Sugarcraft group creating exquisite works and also a good number enjoy the Petanca group and it’s social aspects. Twice a month a well attended Rummikub group meet to exercise thinking powers. The monthly groups are also varied: Watercolours, Ten Pin-bowling, Picnics (which include a light-hearted quiz), Classical Music, Spanish Culture and Spanish History meet on alternate months. One of the largest groups is the Dining Out, clearly we all have good appetites! Having eaten well, walking with the Sunday Strollers helps to burn a few calories. There are other Groups being discussed for the future. As you can see, there is really something for everyone.

With this in mind ArtHouse Gallery in Gata de Gorgos will be holding an art and literature night on Saturday 3rd March from 8pm until 10pm. The Theme of this night is nothing more and nothing less than “Love”. That odd yet intoxicating emotion that in some way or another touches us all. Love has been and still is the greatest inspiration for all creative souls.
This night explores the concept of “love” with both paint brush to canvas and pen to paper.

There will also be Paintings on display by some of the Costa Blanca’s leading artists including owner of ArtHouse and international artist Julia Evans who will be displaying her latest collection of paintings “lessons from a poet” for the first time.
