Re: Taxi Nos?
I'm sure this has been asked before and I've trawled the site but can't find the post where a taxi number has been posted! Boy can the Esurians chat....
So does anyone have a number that my friends currently out in CE can have..and do they need to dial 0034 from their UK mobile?
Many thanks
Christine

Hi Sam
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday at this time I was sitting outside the clubhouse before I had to retreat indoors as it was so hot. Today, I'm sitting indoors watching it precipitate down like rain is going out of fashion - and the forecast is for more (a lot more) of the same!
Don't need any better reminder of the benefits of CE - and the course was empty. In all the time I was flitting about hither and yon, I only saw four pairs of golfers.

You have my sympathy; it is hard to comprehend living in a flooded area.
It's raining here, too.
Karma to you,

Carol

Re: Taxi Nos?
Just moved into Rago I and Fadesa's level of poor performance continues to reach even by their standards new low levels.
The services provided by everybody else, furniture, legals , golf, etc are absolutely superb.
For those moving into Rago I, I would air words of caution;
First, the blocks are not yet fully serviced; lifts are not working; and there is no external car park lighting. The lack of lighting in the car parks is a serious problem, particularly when arriving back late at night and it is absolutely pitch black. Anybody intending to complete under these circumstances, which I would not recommend, must bring a torch!
The non-availability of the lift is presenting serious problems with regard to furnture deliveries and isntallation, again you can all make your own mind up as to whether this is an acceptable basis on which to complete your contacts with Fadesa.
Second; the builders electricity supply, which all new residents are taking over in the short term, consists of a diesel generator (not a permanent supply from a Spanish electricity company). The diesel generator, rather than being located at the construction end of Rago I, it is located directly in front of Block 13, 6 and 5. The diesel generator runs for 24 hours a day, then depending upon which direction the wind is blowing provides the nice smell of diesel fumes, no doubt other residents will be as happy as I am about this.
Fadesa have been approched about removing this generator, but as yet they can not give any committment as to when it can be removed or relocated to a more suitable position. Consequently, anybody intending to be out here in the immediate future will have to contend with the noise from the diesel generator. It was my expectation that builders electricity would be a single permanent metered supply and not a temporary diesel generator.
There are possible problems with the diesel generator in that it only has a limited power capacity and it is likely therefore that it will not support the high current demand needed for the numerous lift installations on Rago I... hence, no lifts.
Finally, and perhaps of much more importance in the long term, is the total lack of any landscaping / tree planting in the car park areas. Fadesa has unilaterally without consulting any of the purchasers opted for an alternative car park scheme to that advised when we purchased in September 2006. We were told by Sylvia in the shed that the landscaping scheme would be identical to Rago II i.e. block paviors in the car park with planted flower beds and trees. Fadesa has changed this design; the hard areas are now pattern imprinted concrete (which is not much of a problem), but Fadesa have made absolute minimum allowance for any planting in the car park areas. Consequently, what we now have does not match Rago II or any of the displays in the shed. In essence, Fadesa has cheapened the scheme and the vista over the car park areas is essentially one of grey concrete.
I have spoken to my Spanish Solicitor about this and Sylvia in the shed (and Grace in aftercare) and they all agree that it is not acceptable, but simply seem to shrug it off. I for one did not buy an apartment to be expecting to look over a mass of grey concrete.
I think this is an unacceptable position and I do not think that others armed with this knowledge should proceed to complete as I have. That is unless you are all fans of large masses of grey concrete. I have instructed my Spanish Solicitor to write a letter of complaint to Fadesa, he has also advised that he will be writing to his other clients to advise of this and the other above mentioned problems. I think it would therefore be in everyones interest and if everyone is similarly minded to complain en mass to Fadesa and ensure that before any further completions take place that Fadesa undertake to provide landscaping scheme in the car parks (planting and trees) equivalent to that in Rago II.

So consequently, the scheme that we now have and that Fadesa are expecting us to sign upto for all Rago I apartments has far less landscaping / planting than shown on the model and as previously promised by Fadesa.
