Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
Thanks Graham G for the photos of shopping centre, very reassuring.
Great News to hear you bumped into John and Kath and that they have completed on their plot.
Congratulations John & Kath good news after such a long and patient wait. Hopefully we may be able to complete on our plot soon too.
Regards
Dave & Lynn

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
We are furious about the Forteleza remarks (posting 1474) about the La Plaza shopping centre behind the BP garage. Perhaps he/she was wearing 'shades' at the time. We arrived home this evening and we were incensed by the remarks. Let others decide with the aid of my pictures.
There are approx 20-30 shops open (50%). The scale of the place is a little short of the Jumbo centre in Faro. It is airy, bright and plenty of escallators and stairs. Considering the centre is not fully operational it is crazy to pass judgement so early on. When all units are open they will have a super food mall. Mercadona is clean, spacious isles, well stocked shelves, terrific seafood counter but yes no fresh meat.
Go back Forteleza and take another look without the blinkers.
Whilst my blood is running high how about lowering your tone and using more acceptable language. I'm surprised you did not get a red card from the administrator for that tasteless posting.

It looks lovely. are there places to eat there? Last time I was there it wasn't open...Mercadona was and we thought that was great. I could see the front of a San Rio 'Hello Kitty' shop for little girls. My granddaughter will love that!!!

Congratulations, Steve and Pat, for the safe delivery of your colourful photos! It was a long labour, indeed!
Carol&John would like to thank the "delivery team" for their patience, and we appreciate all the photos & jokes
posted recently (what a variety!) Now, GrahamG, it looks like there's some serious shopping to do at La Plaza!
Regards,
Carol
P.S. It's stormy outside, so can't sleep. What's this I hear of balmy temperatures on the CdL?

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
I contract Conforta to take care of the connection of water, gas and electricity. Has anyone used them and would you recommend them or are there other efficient ways of sorting this out from afar?
Thanks

Hi Andy
I used Conforta for this - charge around 30 - 40 euros per utility - painless exercise and well worth the money (in my opinion).
You need your bank details and NIE when going to the shed.
Cheers,
Matt

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
I'm sure there have been postings about utilities before.....but now I have just completed on my Pueblo Andaluz apartment I need to get my head around it!! My abogado has suggested I contract Conforta to take care of the connection of water, gas and electricity. Has anyone used them and would you recommend them or are there other efficient ways of sorting this out from afar?
Thanks
Andy
Thanks

We used Conforta who charged about €42 per utility for organising this and then the actual utility company deduct a charge from your account for the connection...approx just under €200 but I can check for you if you want the exact figure. Conforta hand this task over to their solicitor Isabel who is very helpful indeed and when I get home I can search our her email address for you if this would help. Just check your solicitor hasn't already charged you for this service in their billing as they may be the ones to carry out this work on your behalf.
All the best

Thanks very much for the info. I'm sure my solicitor hasn't already billed me for this. I'll PM from here on.

THANKS !!!! to all for the photo's. There are some great shots and lifts the spirits of those of us who have not been able to get out there for months.
Just a quick question ...............has anybody else found that Graham's photo's show up more quickly than the others. That is the only bugbear with the majority of the photos recently, have to wait so long before with get to see them.
Thanks again to all

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
All to do with camera resolution I think. Graham's pics have either been resized or taken with a lower resolution camera. Size of the files is Graham 200kb, others 1000kb there in lies the loading speed IMHO.
Resolution = picture quality, doesnt notice on here but you might notice it if you tried to print them.

To see what I mean right click the photo and click image properties, then open it and right click and image properties again and see the difference in size.
If they pics are reduced prior then they will open quicker. ;-)
