Looks like you've just gone offline...Will it be an Horlick's or an Ovaltine?
Careful with the paracetamol complexes (don't o.d.), and, if they contained codeine, have the All-Bran ready.
There've been quite a few respiratory viruses doing the rounds this winter. Glad to hear you're feeling better.Your comment regarding the children's playpark at CE: would that be near an area designated for a school, perhaps?
I agree that it could take 10 to 15 years for the CE urbanizacion to mature.
Any news about developments on the other side of the river (Portugal)? Would they (ie. Portuguese gov.) consider the importance of siting a marina nearby? (Just asking for the sake of curiosity.)
Regards,
Carol
P.S. Thanks for the photos, Paula.d! Anybody heard about Pueblo Andaluz??

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
Hi Carol&John,
No. This particular playpark was tucked in the corner of D (Deportivo), just north of S-1 where the Big Tent is now. We also saw several others but did not note locations since this is the closest to us for grand nephews and grand nieces to play on.
Both Ayamonte and Villa Real de San Antonio have extensively dredged and enlarged their Marinas over the last 12 months. I read in the Algarve English papers that more golf courses are proposed for the Eastern Algarve so the Portuguese are responding to the "threat" of Spanish tourism taking a bigger share of their cake.
I think over the longer term this can only be good for the prospects of CE provided that the quality is there ie La Manga, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago should be the level to pitch at.
Regards,
John

Pitch at yes, dream of yes, but what about a bit of reality,
La Manga, Vale do Lobo, Quinta all on one site?
10 yrs ago our development was going to have a International equestrian center, International football academy, 5 yrs ago Isla Canela was the new Puerto Banus!
Nice they all are. I have visited and stayed at all, but John you also seem to know these well, do you really want the baggage, especially related to La Manga / Banus, mas ladrónes, mas senoras de las notches y mas camellos.
Be careful what you wish for.
As much as you keep saying you are different to the Costa del solerians, costa blancarians, las personas opportunities will still just see you easy targets.
I wonder who will be the one to have his/hers window knocked by the non members but so called visitors to this thread begging for money.
Oh shock horror!!
All this is very apparent in the level to pitch at:- La Manga/lobo/quinta
This is not mocking but reality.
The best things in life are best kept quite.
I am glad you are getting well, but why is it our business, sorry if that sounds harsh.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part III
It seems that some people are in a negative mood again. It is true that we have all
been frustrated over the past year or so, and the “ExPats” has been a great help to many of us. Indeed without it, our knowledge would have been very poor, as whoever we have bought from, whether it is Fadesa, Superior or uncle Tom Cobley they have all been less than forthcoming with information.
But whilst some of us will be waiting to complete , others have completed and are living on Esuri.whether full time or for holidays. Now is the time to share our knowledge about living there.
Can the forum be used to share information about the best places to for instance get keys cut in Ayamonte; where to get a taxi late at night; a good vegetarian restaurant in Ayamonte, or even a good hairdresser (this is for the ladies)
Sharing our experiences will help all, whether we are staying on Esuri for short or long periods. Many of us will feel a little lost at first and whilst nothing beats talking to others, there will be times when there will be few people around.
The moving to Esuri is going to be a great adventure for all of us but by sharing any information, we can all benefit.
There will still be problems with the developers and when they arise a quick comment should result in private messages or emails from others who have a solution.
Esuri has promise for the future and the expats site will always have a place but lets try to make it positive and promote the good side on living in a new country.

Hi Mike and Carol,
re Keys cut - in Ayamonte you can get this done at Leptis on the right hand side of the tree lined road into town, also Carefore in Cartaya has a key cut stall.
Hope this helps

Hi Mike and Carol
Well said I couldn't agree more! far too many people seem to enjoy moaning, we're nearly there now after so long, lets make the most out of the site it's so useful and has been a great help to us and should not be misused.

Regarding internet access, try www.gonuts4free.es - they're a pay-as-you-go ISP, assuming you'll have a home computer and a telephone line. They work fine and should suffice until - or if - you decide to go down the broadband route or a fixed price package.
