AUTHOR Chris Stewart visited Sabinillas to officially launch the brand new Olive Press office last week.

He was joined by the Mayor of Manilva, Diego Urieto, and many distinguished Olive Press clients and friends for the evening.

Olive Press columnist and Marbella celebrity Giles Brown opened proceedings with a speech on how far the newspaper has come from its days when the office was effectively a shed in Arriate.

Editor Jon Clarke then offered his thanks to all the advertisers and staff members who have made the journey possible, before Chris Stewart gave his views on the importance of the Olive Press in publicising the wrong-doing in our society.

The Driving over lemons author recited an apt quote: “The evil in this world does not worry me. What does is one good man passing it by and doing nothing.”
