Hi just drove back onto Esuri after a trip to the beach, and there for all to see is a massive crane at the side of the defunct shopping centre, taking down one of the old cranes which as sat there for at least 10 years!!.

Not sure if all the cranes are coming down but will check on my way out, Garda Civil in attendance so maybe being taken down as unsafe!!.

Wouldn't it be good if they knocked the 'shopping centre' down with it. They could then replace it with something that a. isn't an eyesore & b. something everyone could use.

Another one taken down as I post this, maybe the ones by the hotel will also come down,?.

Would be an ideal time place for the likes of Aldi Lidl to open a store on there, think this as been the busiest I've seen Esuri and the surrounding areas, which is great to see and shows things in a positive light, fingers crossed!!.

well two of the cranes (one at the shopping centre and one at the hotel) didn't turn with the wind and makes them dangerous. may be the reason to bring them down?

Looks like the other four at the hotel are coming down today as well. There is activity right now! Could it be assets being sold off/liquidated? I've heard the hotel and the shopping centre will be released for sale in January.

bitmanev

well good news as those cranes weren't safe in anyway.

altho i used them to see where the wind was coming from

Good news that those reminders of broken dreams will be gone by the time I get there next month. Absolute eyesore for too long.

The hotel was on the fadesa liquidation site about a month ago for 1.6 million euros - wonder if it has been sold as its not on there now xxxxx

BILL AND CLAIRE

The Cranes are on there way to Morroco. Where according to one of the drivers. Fadesa are building many houses.and employing many Spanish builders. ??????

Fadesa Morocco probably purchased them from Fadesa Spain for PEANUTS but that's business.

BILL AND CLAIRE

So Fadesa has not gone bust after all. ??

MikeJ

I'm not sure they actually belonged to Fadesa. ISTR that they were rented and when development stopped it was more cost effective to leave them where they were rather than the cost of taking them down. Subsequently the leasing company went bust too.
I suspect they are being removed primarily for health and safety reasons. 10 years of just standing there has probably made them unusable anyway.

BILL AND CLAIRE

They are being deliverd to a building project in Morroco. Run by Fedesa.Go up and see for your self.The Drivers are maintaining them before they are loaded on to the trucks. If they were being moved for "Health and Safety " reasons they would have been moved 6 years ago.Health and safety here in Spain Whats that.???
