I  would also like to know if there is anything I can do about this in retrospect as had to pay 20,000 euros in 'black money' when I purchased in 2006.  When I queried it with my  lawyer, he told me that it was normal, everyone did this.  As I had already spent a considerable amount before this was mentioned I felt I had no choice but to go ahead.

Thanks Morerosado

If the new promenade in Torre looks as good as the one in Guardamar I will be very happy.  I will go to the town hall next time I am there and see the plans.  Do you know if they are on display or whether I will need to ask for them?

Hi All

My name is Wende and I have just joined the site. I have an apartment in El Paraiso,Torrevieja and wondered whether anyone can give me an update on the proposed plans to build a promenade along the beach area behind the Dialprix supermercado. Has anyone seen the plans?  (or are plans too much to ask for???) 

I know that the bars and restaurants next to the sea have been told their outside terraces will have to go and last month I saw the police (?!) measuring the terraces.  I don't understand why the terraces cannot be reinstated on the new promenade. 

On a positive note, I am hoping that a new promenade along that stretch (and not sure how long it will be) will bring about improvements to the general area.  If anyone has any info I would be very grateful.
