On July 16th we celebrate La Virgen Del Carmen, which is a local holiday in Fuengirola.We are therefore closed at the dental clinic.
Carmen is the patron saint of sailors and fishermen, and the local saint of Los Boliches, since the time when Los Boliches was a small fishing village within the municipal boundaries of Fuengirola.
The day is celebrated with a procession where the Madonna is taken out of the church in Los Boliches and brought down to the beach and then out to sea along the coast.
We would like to wish all our current and future patients a very Happy Easter from all of us at Clinica Dental Noruega in Fuengirola. On Maundy Thursday 17/4 and Good Friday 18/4 the clinic will be closed. We will all be back as usual on Monday 21/4. If you would like to book an appointment during this time please write to us at info@clinicadentalnoruega.com. We will be reading emails over the long weekend.
Thursday, March 20, is World Oral Health Day. This year’s campaign slogan is “A Happy Mouth is… A Happy Mind”. The campaign thus focuses on the connection between oral health and mental well-being.
Oral diseases share common risk factors with many other non-communicable diseases. Some of the most important factors are tobacco, alcohol, high sugar intake and socioeconomic conditions.
February 28th is Andalusia Day and a regional holiday here in Andalusia. Clinica Dental Noruega is closed and we will be back as usual on Monday, March 3rd.
It celebrates the referendum held on February 28th, 1980, in which Andalusia voted to become an autonomous region within Spain in accordance with the possibilities provided for in Article 143 of the Spanish Constitution of 1978. The referendum on February 28th came after the great autonomous demonstration on December 4th, 1977, in which approximately two million people took to the streets to demand independence for Andalusia under the slogan “Freedom, amnesty and autonomous status.”
Today, Spain consists of 17 autonomous regions and two autonomous cities. Andalusia is the largest autonomy in terms of area.
The plot next to the Edifico Tres Coronas where Clinica Dental Noruega is located is now a big hole and construction site, since Mercacentro in Fuengirola was demolished. This is what it looks like now. It will probably be really nice when they have built a new market hall with restaurants. But it would have been nice if they had made an open square with trees and green areas here in the middle of the city center. To enter the Tres Coronas building, just like before, you press the code 403 followed by the button with a bell. Then we can open the gate from the inside.
