Clients looking To Purchase a 2 Bed property with nice Garden - Can anybody help please?
Can anyone Help Please?
We have clients that are near Retirement age. They are looking to buy a nice property with 2 bedrooms with a good size outside area/garden, sheds, garage etc. They have pets !! They are not bothered about having a pool, although they say it would be nice. The area they are looking in is from around La Marina going towards Alicante. They would like the property to be a short drive from the beach or walking distance of the beach. Their price range is up to 120,000 euros.

RED DAYS
Does anyone know if tomorrow is a red day?
Thanks for that Ian I did not want to get SAT a 2,000 euro fine. I don't think I would be very popular.
Eve,
I have a BBQ on the go here! The concensus of our guests is that tommorrow is not only red but it is green also! Whatever that might mean?
It seems to be the concensus that apart from bars and restaurants that nothing will be open.
According to the spanish-info website it is only a red day in certain parts of spain.
Tambien Angelique, as I will be expected to pay the fine. If I see everyone else are closed , I won't open, but if the Banks are open everyone will be.
rain and wind
Its cold wet and windy here in Kent again! can't wait to move over.....not long now.
Thats true Carol!
Definately don't need it here though! Being too hot is not nice either!
music
Alan I think that would be a great idea, if we could all get together and go to the town hall and try to get some answers. As has already been said, the summer season will be over before anything is sorted out.
Nikki,
It might be a good idea that you keep your head under the parapit?
Only a few weeks ago there was an afternoon charity do at your pub with hundreds of people outside, music, stalls etc. All of this without police interference!
Hi Julie No Inever did find out about the market. Do you know anything about it?
Angelique yes you are right in what you say. As I have said before we are very lucky on the whole, that the police dont bother us to much, but then we try to be considerate and keep the music low, doors closed etc. The fun day was obviously outside for us to be able to have that many people present. Again I dont think the music was overly loud and the singers were finished around 8.30pm as it was an afternoon event. I just think it would be nice if everyone knew where they stood and maybe then we could have more entertainment without fear of being fined.
Hi Nikki
When I went to see Jeff Wiszniewski he made the statement to me that he thought it a good idea that a meeting was held between himself and all local interested Bars Entertainment operators. It is obvious that nothing has been done. Many bar owners take on the policy of keeping there heads down, but a time has to come when this is all sorted out for the good of every one. If Jeff is not over interested in making this happen perhaps a couple of bar owners should make the first move.
Thank you Nikki for letting me know that it was a great idea.Unfortunately hardly any body else put forward the same feelings on this forum,which surprised me because quite a few complained about having to put up with the police tactics of ordering bars turn down music on what seems like a whim.
Obviously unless a large turn out could of been guaranteed,at the council offices,the idea of a protest is a non starter..
Alan / Nikki,
I think myself the landlords are there own worst enemies. Instead of getting together they guard their own territories.
From what I have seen and heard I believe that the landlords are afraid to take up a discussion with our local police, alternativly they are keeping their heads down because they are not being affected by the police.
At the same time they are always very quick to tell you which pubs were visited last night and who got denuncias.
From what I have seen myself their are few if any visits to Grey Area. Woodstock, White Swan and Anandas have music blaring out, doors open until early hours with no police problems and Ramons recently held an entire wedding with live music outside until approx 12 midnight whereas Bar Stop has been suffering from a vendeta with one householder for years, the minute music is played the police come.
Surely it is in everyones interest to standardise the rules, is it not?

IT'S ALL GONE QUIET!
Hi Everybody
ive noticed over the last couple of weeks the forum seems to have gone quiet. Im guessing this is because your all in full swing with the summer season, maybe with family and friends out there on quesada taking up all your time in the nicest possible way or maybe youve gone back to uk to avoid the high temperatures.
Anyway it would be good to hear what youre all doing with yourselves at the moment and in particular anything nice or any new stuff thats happening on quesada
kind regards for a great summer !
On maps in Google, most of Quesada is at street level. I think it was filmed in April this year.
We're still here, it's gone quiet I think because adverts are no longer allowed, hopefully we'll now get people back posting stuff. We're enjoying the summer, not doing much at the moment but my first visitors are due next Friday so for end of of July through August, we'll be busy entertaining and BBQing, can't wait. Maz
Hi Maz
thank you for response its good to know youre well ! I think the lack of ads may have played a part and I do hope users will continue to put their ads in the correct the place as this makes more sense.
Personally I have enjoyed the site very much since it was re launched earlier in the year, also I have been able to make good use of the information advice and guidance provided by the forum users and long may that continue.
In the meantime Maz do enjoy your summer, I will be out there from august bank holiday weekend for a couple of weeks so I am really looking forward to that
Maybe after the main summer season we can all have discussion on "What I did this Summer"
Kind regards

Welcome Back
welcome back to the forum Angelique and Julie,I have spent the last week reading and even sometimes replying to the non political comments that have been made on this forum,I must admit that although some of them were interesting,nothing got me wound up like our council debates,I tried to go along with a few comments that didnt want heavy political stuff on this forum but have come to the conclusion that local politics is important to everyone on La Marina Urbs,and we shouldnt be gagged in giving our comments.So go for it and see how many people can give their opinions of what we want La Marina Urbs to be
Alan,
I make no apology, however, I do agree that local politics, the welfare of us all on La Marina Urb is far more motivating for myself than stories about aolie, bread and waiters or some of the other comments in here that do not excite me at all!
I take it you're referring to me Angelique about the waiter trying to take my bread/ali oli away when I was still eating. Well I thought other people should be warned if they intended to go to this particular, quite expensive restaurant - I see no crime in that. That's what makes a forum successful - a variety of different subjects - NOT just politics all the time !!
If this forum was just about politics, then I would not bother posting anymore, some people have more interesting things in their life!!!! Like great family and friends and enjoying life with them, as well and chilling and enjoying retirement and spreading valuablle information to like minded people and finally enjoying walking dogs for S.A.T.s - we have a wonderful life and do not need politics - but hey hoo each to their own - enjoy your postings.
Sadly Linda our lives are run by politics - its no different here than it is in England. They all look after themselves first.
Eve,
regretably life is so! It is so important that we continue to make our politicians aware of our needs and thoughts.
However, I do also agree with Linda that other matters are important also.
I would like to see The Council take over all the Parques which don't have committees. I was under the impression that if you had street lights then the council was responsible for the other work. I have asked in the solicitors office why I was not told about the parque being private when we bought on it. The lady in the office said she thought it was owned by the council. As it is the biggest Parque on the Urb and there are probably about 10 different nationalities on there and probably 50 per cent are holiday homes, you have to be quite an intelligent person to start up a committee, me I'm to busy. It looks as if we are going to have to pay up and shut up.
Eve,
One of my houses is in a cul-de-sac and the road was a real mess.
The residents decided to discuss this problem with the council whereby it was suggested to us that this problem should be taken up with what was then a newly formed Residents Association.
We met these people at Dos Mas Bar and told them of our difficulties which would be taken up directly by them with Trini Martinez at the next meeting and we would get the results of this meeting in exactly one week.
I might add that in the cul-de-sac we have street lighting which has been maintained by the council.
We were informed that, if you look at the entrance of the cul-de-sac, the pavement is either two colour as are all pavements or solid red. If the pavement is solid red then everything inside the cul-de-sac is the residents responsibility otherwise the council is responsible.
The result was that we had a red pavement and we paid for our road to be re-surfaced.
We did have, about 15 years ago a community for, I believe 85 or so houses, however, it was decided by the council of the time that they would take the residual funds from our community and accept responsibilty for the entire community as it was then.
According to the Residents Association had Trini been re-elected it was her intention to re-instate all of the communities so that the residents would again be responsible thus saving monies for the council.
That is the story as I understood it about two years ago.

It seems from the list that it is a Red Day in some areas but not here
