As the crisis continues to grip Calasparra and unemployment spirals many local families and businesses are struggling to survive.
Under these circumstances it is becoming increasingly difficult to finance the local news service for non Spanish speaking residents of Calasparra.
Few people are exempt, least of all our readers, and most of us find we have less money than ever for the household budget. However, we would ask you to consider spending the little money you have in the local shops and businesses and support your town.
There are still a few local businesses which support NEXOnr and make you local news service possible. A quick glance at the webpage will tell you who they are. We would ask you to support them when and how you can.
Some of the joys of living in Calasparra is fresh bread baked in artisanal bakers; day fresh meat and poultry; free range eggs and the large etcetera that comes from living in a small country town in Spain. Service in local shops may not be quick and efficient but it is friendly and personal in a town where shopping is considered to be a social outing rather than a chore.
