Finding El Mojon.
Sunday, June 6, 2010 @ 5:21 PM
We found El Mojon about nine years ago when the Playa Diamante urbanisation was nothing but a huge building site. From this it was hard to visualise just how the area would look once it was completed. However, the developers produced an artist’s impression and I was surprised at the amount of space that was planned for parks and gardens. Areas where one could sit in the shade of palms and enjoy the quiet.
During the time that the building was taking place I became ill with cancer and never got to see the gradual organisation from chaos take place. Our next visit was a big surprise as our house was complete and ready for us to occupy. Through a breakdown in communications we had not been informed and we were only there to check on the progress. We returned to England and in the next couple of weeks tied up details with the bank and the solicitors before returning to sign the completion forms etc.
On this occasion we were accompanied by my brother and his wife. They were waiting for the completion of their own house up at Guardamar and took this opportunity to check on progress. Whilst my brother and I looked after more important things such as checking out the local bars, the girls between them selected furniture etc. etc. for delivery and installation the following day. This done we popped into the village for a meal and patted ourselves on the back for a good days work.
Early the next day the van arrived as promised with a crew of three and they immediately unloaded the van putting all the furniture in the respective rooms. Beds were erected, fans put in place and crockery loaded into cupboards, in fact when they left some four hours later, the house was , apart from a general cleaning, habitable and ready for use.
