ADBSA were invited for a special coffee morning where we could browse in the shop, and then enjoy coffee and cakes.

On April 24th about 20 ADBSA members visited the lovely Suriya Spa, close to Tiendesitas, and C5. We had a great morning with a very well researched wellness lecture, showing that stress can lead to all sorts of difficulties and asking us to ensure we take care of ourselves by developing a good stress busting lifestyle. We were treated to coffee, tea and Merienda and then to finish this fantastic morning we were all treated to a 20 minute taster massage. Wonderful!
