Selina’s Halloween Quiz Adam Woodward THE spookiest night of the year is almost upon us, and in Benahavis, popular Talk Radio Europe host Selina Mackenzie is hosting a slightly eerie quiz night at The Social. Why not join the ghoulish fun at The Social Halloween quiz and pit your wits against the rest in Benahavis? Teams will be made up of a maximum of six, at €2 per person. There will be plenty of fabulous prizes to be won. Booking is essential, though, as this will be a sell-out. Quiz Night fans can book a table by sending Selina a message through Facebook or by contacting The So-
cial Bar directly on 637 227 047. This fun quiz isn’t to be taken too seriously, though. It’s just a little fun for the local community. So, start thinking up your Halloween-themed quiz team name. If you can, bring friends to make up a team, and if not, there’s no problem, as Selina will be on hand to introduce you to others looking to build a team. Book now, as Selina’s quiz has only a few places left. Don’t forget your pen and notepads and scary Halloween costumes on Thursday, October 31, The Social, Centro Comercial Los Halcones, Maltes, 2, Benahavís. €2 quiz entry.

Spooky Mijas
We are rapidly approaching the scariest night of the year, and to celebrate, Mijas Council is going all out with Halloween parties based on the Mexican Night of the Dead, including bouncy castles, shows, and workshops. In the Cortijo Don Elías, there will be a large maze of terror for the adults to scare the wits out of each other. All participants in the shows and workshops will be dressed as Catrina, as the aim is to give each party a very haunting atmosphere. The programme includes workshops on palmistry, potions, make-up, and making Mexican skull masks. In Las Lagunas, at the fairground, and at La Butibamba Park, there will be bouncy castles, terror mazes, food-

trucks and drink stalls, Day of the Dead parades, and Mexican skull mask workshops, while the scenery will be filled with candles and ghoulish adornments. The schools are off on Friday, November 1, so while late finishing, at least the kids don’t have to wake up early in the morning. The evening of Thursday, October 31 will kick off at 5.30pm at all three venues.

In Mexican culture, the memory and the need to honour those who are no longer with us are a reason for family reunions on November 1 and 2. This unique tradition is full of love and respect and a time to
share joyous experiences with those still alive. That is why the Ralli Museum of Marbella is organising this creative workshop. The activity will be taught by Danya Loyola, and families who want to attend can book through email at reser vas@museoralli.es, or by calling 952 857 923, or at reception.
