Hello, I'm new and need information about shipping pets to Spain

Hi again, sorry a bit late with update.Had our son & grandchildren over for 4 days.

Officially visited last monday ,it was hectic.Eco meubles were unloading all the furniture for L.O.to store in a few appts.

A pantechnicon was unloading all the white goods ( fridge/freezer included)

The first cleaners arrived in 1a

In the communal area the wrought iron rails down from the top side appts were on.The lower garden area has now had top soil spread,with the path to the toilets finished with rockery edging.

Inside work continueing,boilers installed ,A/C units on walls ,arched windows (glass very thick )arrived & being put in.

Confirmed that water & electricity on solarium.

outside the roads have been worked on nonstop ,the main approach road is ready for tarmac with all the others almost  there.Theconcrete bases for the pavements are laid on the left hand side of theapproach road &around the complex.,the should soon be done.The lamp posts have arrived & the first one erected.

The whole area whilst not ideal is gradually being tidied up--even the old discarded fuel tank near the water feature has gone .

Those are the facts ,this is what we,ve been told.Maria,s assistant today told us that some people will be able to sign next week.Judy is back at our rented waiting to hear from  Maria to confirm this.The building foreman confirmed that whatever was going to be done on the areas between L.O. & the water feature ,it would be at least 2 years before it was started.

The weather has been mixed but everything looking sunny about L O.

Once again all the best Haydn Judy.

Just to let everyone know, Barry has put a really good update again on the almeria community website:  vivacv.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1169308653/15#15

He seems to be very happy with how things are going, and we are looking forward to another trip on the 11th September (I should have hesitated to book flights for 11th September though!!!!) to see all of the changes.  Thanks for tips on the garden - I will visit the Antas place, and have noted the info re palm trees.  

Once again, Barry is asking us to register, and reading between the lines of what he says, this may explain why some of us have not been billed for rubbish collection yet.

Enjoy the bank holiday.

Hi Linda,

Is Barry's report on the costa almeria site. I have tried to access this without success I seem to remember something about the web address changing. Do you have the address as I tried the link on your posting but it did not work.

If anybody has the new costa almeria site address i would be very grateful.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hi - I am sorry.  I got it wrong last time so I just copied and pasted - try this www.vivacv.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl

and yes, it is the site that used to be a nice easy to remember costaalmeria.com

Best wishes,

Linda 

Hi Judy & i would like to send all our best wishes for Xmas & New Year .

With all the trees planted & rocks laid, &the channel from the roadside finished, the lake looks ready to have the pump started.

There a lot of activity to get all the urbanisationson H.N. ( incLos O )together, to pressure B.M.S.& Los Gallardos to finish all the work & start the Commercial Centre.

Spoke to a man on Bedar Village Council who have access to plans passed by Junta of Andulucia,which has given planning permission to build on all the land between Garrucha & Los Gallardos --30% housing,30%hotels & restaurants--some? industrial including a Yesso factory between Turre & Alfaix. This rides roughshod over an E.U. directive

Also  the site for the station for the highspeed train is on the Vera / Bouganvillea road, with the line continuing north of Turre past the bowling club & herb field, crossing the M .way lower down.

To those who asked about Harry, he is happy & lively after his op., but the prognosis is not too good but we keep our minds on the optmistic side of the forecast.

Once again our best wishes to all our friends & neighbours.Haydn & Judy.

Hi All

If you go to Brians posting 2 below this one and click on the link then scroll to Huerta Nueva go into this and click on commercial centre you will find some interesting information from BarryJ.

Happy Christmas and successful New Year,

Dave Maura.

I think that these are the plans reported in the Costa Almeria news in August - but I did not know where exactly the piece of land was located.   I have cut and pasted below:

'But the biggest bombshell was the revelation that the Junta is backing hotel development above residential or rural tourism in undeveloped areas.

One of these is a large plot of land, called ‘llano central’ and located between Los Gallardos and Garrucha, which is now earmarked for future development in the form of hotels and holiday apartments.

In a surprising admission, the Junta’s chief delegate, Juan Callejón, said the decision by the regional government had been politically motivated and not based on market trends.'

Have a great Christmas and New Year

Linda

Merry Christmas to all on Los Olivos.

Happy and Stressless New Year also

15 weeks to go!

Very Best Wishes to ALL.
