MANILVA is to host its third summer Holi Party this year, on August 23 at the beach, and coinciding with the town’s patron saints. Taking place on Colonia beach, come dressed appropriately in white (but not your best) as there will be foam cannons and powdered colours to throw at each other, plus a DJ to get everyone in the party mood.
Suitable for all ages, it’s a fun, and messy, way to usher in the closing of the summer. But what is a Holi party? Holi, from the Hindi meaning festival of colours, is a tradition that has spread from its native India and Nepal in which everyone chucks powered dyes at each other as a celebration of the coming of spring, although nothing to do with spring
Holi party Manilva beach in this case. According to tradition, it also represents the triumph of good over evil, a party full of joy, love and getting messy with bright colours. The messy Holi party starts at 7.30pm on Colonia beach in Manilva, Friday, August 23. Don’t forget to wear all white and bring something to change into for afterwards.
Climbing
La Concha for prostate awareness Adam Woodward TIRELESS campaigner for prostate cancer awareness, Clive Marks, is lining up another charity adventure for this coming October - climbing La Concha mountain. Many readers will remember Clive and his triathlon event from March in which they raised an amazing €5,000 to buy a defibrillator machine and PSA tests for men to get checked out for prostate cancer. This time, Clive will be leading a hiking expedition to the top of the 1,200-metre La Concha mountain, near Marbella, to raise awareness about the need for middle aged men to get checked out for prostate cancer. The cost to enter the expedition is €25 which goes to pay for free PSA tests. Water and t-shirts will be provided.

One in eight men get prostate cancer, so it’s well worth getting checked out. Prevention is cheaper, quicker to deal with and there’s no need to worry about embarrassing encounters with the doctor. A PSA test is a simple blood test that checks if you are at risk or not. You can get vouchers from El Campanario Medical Health Centre in Mijas where they do the blood tests, Dempsey’s Irish Bar, Dona Lola, Pals Bar, El Zoco, the Overseas supermarket Calahonda, Murph’s Irish Bar, Las Chapas and La Cala Lions Charity Shop in La Cala Mijas. After the hike, it’s all back down to Dempsey’s Irish bar for drinks, JC Paella man and karaoke with DJ Tubbs. Contact Clive Marks via his Facebook profile if you are going to take part.
