Mission Statement: to assist the integration of foreign residents living in Spain
It is often said that knowledge is power, and this is never more accurate than when you establish yourself as a foreign resident in a new country, like Spain. Being able to quickly familiarise yourself with the culture, rules, events, and customs can help ease the transition during a challenging time.
This is why Euro Weekly News makes it our mission to provide you with a free news resource in English that covers both regional and national Spanish news – anything that we feel you will benefit from knowing as you integrate into your new community and live your best life in Spain. In this way, you can forget about translating articles from Spanish into awkward English that probably don’t make much sense. Let us be your convenient and essential guide to all things that will likely affect you as a foreign resident living in Spain.

Estepona’s Padre Manuel Cultural Centre is showing the 2023 award-winning comedy film ‘The Holdovers’ as part of the Cine-Club international film festival, and entry is free.
The showing is on January 9 at 8pm, when Estepona council invites residents to watch the American comedy film directed by Alexander Payne, with a screenplay by David Hemingson, starring Paul Giamatti (star of the series Billions), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Dolomite is my Name), and Bafta award nominee, Dominic Sessa, among others.
A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school remains on campus during Christmas break to babysit a handful of students with nowhere to go. He soon forms an unlikely bond with a brainy but damaged troublemaker and also with the school’s head cook, a woman who just lost a son in the Vietnam War.
The movie won the Oscar for the Supporting Actress (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) and 2 Golden Globes – one for comedy actor (Paul Giamatti) and best supporting actress (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).
The film is being shown in English with Spanish subtitles and is not recommended for children under 12 years old. Admission is free until the auditorium is full.
The Padre Manuel Cultural Centre can be found on Calle San Fernando, 2, Estepona.
