Fiesta de San Anton in Benalmádena Pueblo: La fiesta de los Animales
The festivities began with performances of local musicians and singers. Subsequently the animals could be blessed on the day of the Feast of San Antonio Abad patron saint of animals (and the gravediggers).
Hundreds of people gathered with their pets so that they could receive the blessing of Pastor D. Antonio Garcia Lords. Our local mayor D. Enrique Moya also came with his little Yorkshire to receive blessing.

Cooking, Heating & Hot Water using Butano Gas Bottles
Most of the properties here in Spain still rely on replacement Butano gas bottles for cooking, heating and water heating. If you run out of these orange heavy gas bottles during the weekend you could be left without hot water, heating or cooking facilities until another bottle can be delivered from the depot on a weekday.
Many families still rely on the Butano lorry passing by once a week to replace the empty gas bottle with a full one, but there many petrol stations in and around towns and villages in Andalucia, as well as some rare butano retailers are selling those gas bottles too.
We have a butano gas bottle in the kitchen for cooking, and another one on the balcony for the water heater.
Every Tuesday the Butano lorry is passing by, and if we need a replacement bottle we have to place our empty bottle in front of the entrance door, so that the Repsol man will ring our door bell to bring and to sell a new one.
For us each of the 25 kg bottles usually is good for about 2-3 weeks. We just bought a new one 2 days ago from the "Butano man". The current price per bottle is 11.30 euros.
