Hello. From a magazine article aimed at residents of an upmarket residential complex in southern Spain:
"Una mañana practicando golf, una tarde navegando, una copa en el Puerto deportivo, no faltar a ninguna fiesta... **a golpe de agenda** comienza agosto y en XXX, el mes de agosto se escribe con mayúsculas."
Thanks for your help :)

: La idea de la expresión en español es que está repleto de actividades. / You are a native speaker, so you know better: Is it equivalent to "loaded with activities"? If so, I will withdraw my "disagree".
