I guess we will probably still go through the whole thing again but luckily we think most purchases will be local - good old Ayamonte. However, we have just realised - how do we pay for it? It's not that bad we still have a few shillings left, but can anyone suggest the best way to pay - Cash, English Cheque, English Plastic, Spanish Cheque, Spanish Plastic or whatever and for that matter what payment types do these kinds of stores accept. Appreciate any useful comments. Also, does anyone know if it is cost affective to take small amount of cash say up to £10,000 to transfer at the local Banks. To-date, we have always done a wire transfer form NatWest to XE Trade for currency exchange with forward wire transfer to Banco de Andalucia

Good spot re the measure etc. yes we were busy measuring and doing a preliminary snagging. We will do the proper one when we have completed and we have power.

Pictures look good - and the weather looks fantastic. Are you Manzana 1? The view of the bridge from your terrace is fab.

Thanks so much for the lovely pictures. Good to see the irrigation system working on Golf 1.
It just goes to show with a few young plants already showing some colour how much can be achieved with a little planting. Its all going to look gorgeous. Though they are taking their time landscaping a lot of detail work seem to be going on which is nice to see. Imagine how it will all look by this time next year.

Hi Mike and Diane,
Spring will be a profusion of flowers along your streets if they have done that.
I have just treated myself to a new 19" high resolution flat screen monitor and when I download the thumbnails most appear filling about 2/3rds of this screen. Most of these then have an enlargement button in the bottom right hand corner when the download is fully complete. If I click on that it gives me a picture that must be 25" square and by scrolling around you pick up amazing detail. You have been warned.
The quality of some of the photo's now being posted is truly amazing you can read detail at big sizes and sometimes the colours are breathtaking.
Well done to all the photographers out there.
Regards,
John.

Add this to the fact that mortgage valuation trips are not being allowed and we both felt "there was something they were not telling us"
2 days ago I was encouraged to complete when there in April , and was told that by May Fadesa would start insisting on completions. The habitation license was due "any day now"
Note that I wasnt pushing for completion, I even told them I could wait.
So the story is changing. I dont know what the true situation is still - and I personally still think that June is more likely.. or even later (I wont be surprised)
On another point - I have stayed at the Don Diego before as its so easy to get into town and a good price (leaving more dosh for food + drink). But thought about the Atlantico as everyone is so positive about it. However it was expensive at 90 Euros a night. (From 18 April i.e after Easter) I made an internet reservation for another 5star hotel VINCCI SELECCION CANELA GOLF - does anyone have any info /feedback about it (my reservation is cancelable for a few days). Any good? Things nearby? etc
Thanks

We've just returned from checking out CE & stayed at Vincci Seleccion Canela Golf - we paid 110 for 2 nights stay. The room was very comfrotable with seperate bath & walk-in shower, but I must say that the hotel itself seemed quite quiet and we did not eat at their restaurant at all. There is free internet access in their 24 hour library, which I found usefeul. We played at the on-site golf course.
On a seperate note, has anyone bought any of the furniture/ aircon packs from any of the many agents dealing with it, if so, what are the average costs working out at? and any recommendations. Or is it worth the hassle of doing it on your own.

I'm sure people have lots of help for you on this. Alternatively if you look on the www.eyeonislacanela.com site you will find an extremely long thread on the discussion forums with lots of peoples experiences/advice.
I know lots of you read the site for tips anyway but incase you didn't know,
it will have a live webcam over the guadiana from the furniture frontera shop (actually, Trevor who runs it has furniture packages). They say it will be up and running Tuesday or Wednesday. If nothing else it will give you something to look at while you're waiting to complete

Sending best wishes for a good recovery to Nigel!
Mike and Diane's photos will be like a tonic. Thank you both for posting the pics! You're lucky to have such a lovely view from your terrace of the bridge!

Buenas tardes ,
Just had another look again at townhouse photos, and noticed that there is a gatepost/barrier (raised in the photo, with red stripes) at the street sign for Lomas de Esuri? Are there other street barriers throughout CE?
Thanks,
Carol

Have some great pics of building sites but cannot figure how to insert a picture
Loved Ayamonte - had a great weekend - liked the beaches etc - big decision - but worried if I don't do it prices will go up again - I met a couple who had just moved in and their 2 bed had gone up 40, 000 euros in the 2 years or thereabouts.
How long do you feel it will be before it starts to look less like a building site?
