Hi all,
Ive read today that permission has been granted for an ave high speed train link to Almeria with the only stop at a coastal resort being Vera Playa and that work will be starting soon. Does anyone know the proposed track details ie where it can be boarded and also how it will affect Thalassa [does it pass behind it Vera side , or infront beach side].
Cheers Jay

The good news about the new high speed rail line is that it is to have a station at Vera Playa (allegedly due to the influence of Sr. Zapatero, the Spanish Prime Minister, who has bought a holiday home and it will be the only beach resort to have an AVE station. The station is to be located near to the new Mercadona supermarket on the Vera-Garrucha road. The line will come from Lorca and sweep to the east of Vera town, to the station and then across towards Turre and onwards towards Alfaix in the valley where the E15 motorway goes towards Almeria city.
. The new line will make a trip to Madrid and other places a doddle (approx. 2hrs 30m compared to 5hrs drive) and properties at Vera Playa are likely to become even more in demand from Madrilenos - the downside being that the whole area may well become one big urban area - the local councils aspire to the Levante area of Almeria becoming bigger than Madrid in the next 20 yearsThis message was last edited by kenshaz on 2/5/2008.

Lets hope the Spanish PM hasn't purchased a holiday home in the vicinity of the proposed rail station, he could find himself being "grabbed", and not in the nether regions!

300 metres I have looked at the co-ordinates and that is not feasable. This message was last edited by kenshaz on 2/5/2008.

Depends if it is the way the crow flies? The Mercadona is a 3 minute walk and I am assuming the station will be on the other side of the road due to the fact they are building a school on this side. Poetic licence maybe, but no by much.

Will it be situated anywhere close to where the house was demolished recently? If so, what will happen to the other houses in the vicinity?
