    Street markets are great places to shop, watch the locals and while away a few hours in busy pavement cafe. But especially if you’re new to the Spanish Costa Blanca, knowing where to find them can be a bit of a minefield. Listings are usually given in the local free papers, but you have to be able to find copies in the first place and they tend to be snapped up by ex-pats fairly quickly!

    Most street markets take place in the morning, starting around 10am and finishing around 2pm. Those annotated “pm” are afternoon markets usually starting around 5pm. The Spanish concept of the afternoon is a little different from ours and it extends into what we’d call the evening.

    There are markets, craft fairs and the like at other locations too, such as Castillo de Conesa

    On Mondays there are street markets in:

    Santa Pola, San Pedro del Pinatar

    Tuesdays in:

    Orihuela, Benijofar, San Fulgencio, Mil Palmeras (pm), Benidorm

    Wednesdays in:

    Algorfa, Guardamar, La Mata, San Miguel de Salinas

    Thursdays in:

    Rojales, San Javier, Bigastro, Urb La Marina, Alicante

    Fridays in:

    Dolores, Torrevieja, Daya Vieja, Los Montesinos (pm), Pilar de la Horadada (pm)

    Saturdays in:

    Urb Playa Flamenca, Almoradi

    And finally Sundays in:

    Urb La Marina, Zoco (Quesada), Benidorm

    Unusually, there is a ’street’ market that opens all week, Monday to Friday; it’s the British Indoor Market at Formentera which is quite a big affair.

    Goji Berry Plants

    Traditionally a juice that the Chinese and the natives of Tibet used for promoting general wellness, Himalayan goji juice is becoming more popular in the west due to very recent commercialization efforts. However, as the name implies, the best berries that are purported to make the best Himalayan goji juice, are grown in some areas close to the Himalayan mountains and Tibet, particularly in China and Inner Mongolia.

    Noni Juice Benefits

    Tahitian Noni Juice is a great product that has so many amazing health benefits. It is made from the fruit of the noni tree, but Tahitian Noni Juice only uses noni fruits from the islands of Tahiti. On Tahiti, the soil is always fertile, so they grow a lot of noni trees.

    Schoolies, or more correctly, school leavers week, is a yearly right of passage for thousands of Australian teens. It usually happens a week or so after the end of Grade 12 exams. Originally starting at the Gold Coast in Queensland, it has grown to include many more tourist destinations. Schoolies is very big business and injects millions of dollars into the tourism economy.

    If you believe the nightly news, Schoolies is all about drugs, sex, music, motor vehicle accidents and fights. It isn’t. It’s just that the conservative press play to established prejudices so they can sell products that appeal to the over 55 viewing audience.

    Notwithstanding all the bad press about Schoolies week, tens of thousands of Australian teenagers have a great time during their post exam Year 12 break. The reality is that because of all the bad publicity, Schoolies is now a very safe activity well serviced by police, ambulance and volunteer organisations like Red Frog. The local and State governments pour lots of taxpayer’s resources into helping keep Schoolies safe.

    If you or your children are considering going to Schoolies this year, here 10 tips to improve safety and enjoyment.

    Fights - get help, don’t get involved

    When lots of young men, and more recently, young woman, congregate and consume alcohol, there is an increased chance of disagreements leading to violence. If one of your friends gets involved in a fight, don’t get involved, get help from police or other authorities. If you get involved one of two things may happen: you will get hurt, or you will hurt somebody. Both can have very bad consequences.

    Learn what a standard drink looks like
    If you are going to drink alcohol, drink in moderation. Three to four standard drinks in a six hour period would be a reasonable amount. Ask your parents what a standard drink of beer, spirits or wine looks like, or read the label. A standard drink is a lot less than you may think.

    Use protection
    Did you know that 500 babies are conceived at schoolies each year? Boys will be boys and girls will be girls. Unfortunately this leads to unwanted pregnancies and the spread of nasty diseases. If you are going to indulge in sexual activities, use protection.

    The Police are there to help you
    Police love Schoolies week. It means they get to do what’s called “Specials”; lots of overtime. If you do get involved with police be respectful and don’t be a smart-mouth. You will not win a battle of wits or a physical encounter. And having to fetch your parents or guardians and go to court the next morning is not a good look.

    Leave no one behind

    When at Schoolies team up with a friend or two and don’t get separated. At the end of the night’s activities make sure you are still all together and do what the Marines do: leave no one behind. That cute guy you met will still be around tomorrow morning. Give him your number and agree to meet-up in the morning. In the morning light of a sober day you may have to reconsider.

    Have an escape and evasion plan
    If you are really unlucky and everything turns pear-shaped, make sure you have an escape and evasion plan. Agree with your friends a secret code word that when spoken means “lets get out of here right now and meet up at the agreed location”. Make sure you have enough cash, enough clothing and all the location details you need to get back to your emergency rendezvous point to plan the next move.

    In case of emergencies

    A lot of people don’t know this but police, ambulance officers and other emergency service workers when dealing with an unconscious person look in the address book of the person’s mobile phone. They are looking for an entry called ICE. It stands for “In Case of Emergency call this number”. Make sure you have an ICE number in your phone. It could be a friend, it could be a parent or guardian. Do it now.

    Watch out for the unknown silent killer
    Do you know what the biggest life-threatening risk at Schoolies is? It’s not drugs, car accidents, or violence or the other risks reported in the news. It is sunburn. The second degree burns you get during schoolies week this year may turn into the skin cancer that kills you in 20 or 30 years time. As the ad says, slip on shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat. Get in shade in the hotter parts of the day and if you are drinking alcohol, drink at least one glass of water for each standard drink.

    Watch Out for Valuables
    Lots of young excited people tend to attract thieves and other low-life. If you are going to Schoolies only take stuff you are prepared to lose. Borrow you Dad’s old clunky mobile phone, leave the fancy jewelry and shoes at home, don’t make yourself a target by strutting around with the latest iPhone or notebook.

    A Note to Parents

    If your child is going to Schoolies make sure they understand that’s it’s OK to call them at any time of the day or night. Preplan an emergency pickup point. Work out a way they can get emergency cash in a hurry.
