February happenings on the Southern Costa Blanca by Keith Nicol
After all the parades and activities of Christmas and the Three Kings have finished, February is much quieter but there are still a few things to do.
If you are looking for something a little different, especially as a gift or for decoration, there is a monthly Craft Market at the Cuevas del Rodeo in Rojales, where local artists put their work on display along with other craft works to browse and enjoy. It takes place on the 1st Sunday of every month January to June and September to December in the morning from 11am to 2pm and in July and August from 7pm to 11pm.
Another fun and unusual event for kids of all ages is the Torrellano Miniature Steam Train. It is run by the friends of the railways association and so is normally only open on Saturdays between 4pm and 8pm with Miniature Train Rides during February and March on the 2nd Sunday from 10:30am to 1:30pm. Every month the Friends of the Railways Association host a miniature train event at the railway museum in Torrellano. Donations of 1.50€ per visit are requested.
As usual, the most proactive municipality is Torrevieja where there are a number of events and exhibitions every week. La Cazuelica y el Vino 2015, is a similar event to the Tapas Route where you can enjoy a 2€ casserole or wine for 1.50€, from 5th to 8th February at 25 Torrevieja Restaurants. Each of the participating restaurants offers their specials from noon to 4:30pm and 7:30pm to 11pm for a casserole and a wine special.
