Chiclana - News
There have been three or four fires in Chiclana this week including one at Campano Silicianos (not sure of spelling, so excuse me if wrong). This threatened the college there where there were 1000 students at summer school who had to be evacuated to the beach. Allegedly (I put this in in case my source is incorrect) a 52 year old man and a 22 yr old have been arrested for deliberately starting the fires. Again allegedly a real estate agent was involved to clear the land of pine trees so that planning permission would be given to build there in four or five years as the pine trees would have prevented the building, as they are protected.
The new shops next to the underground car park are due to be completed at the end of the summer and have already been let to, yes wait for it. Banks, insurance companies and restaurants. I am so excited, just put in a few charity shops and it will be like home! |

Re: Chiclana - News
I remember when looking at a property inland with olive groves being told that there were strict rules about maintaining the land around them to avoid the risk of forest fires. Glynis does this mean I have to bring my old stuff to Chiclna to donate to the charity shops so you can feel really at home, or are you content to browse through second hand castanets and mantillas?? :D

they also do some cracking deals, excellent news that they have opened up here, i got such a good deal on modern taps i took them back to the UK, we got some very funny looks from the airport security, the xray attendant had them going back & forth, & even called over extra staff just to check :scared: |
Re: Chiclana - News
I agree Cigarron is the best.....I never bothered with them when I first arrived but now they are my first port of call. Sometimes they are even cheaper than the supermarkets, Carrefour and Eroski, and the quality is better. In the winter when everyone else had sold out of green wellies they came up trumps, and are endlessly patient, and open on Sundays too. Armed with my dictionary I manage to source nearly any and everything.

Midway between the Sopresa and the Florentina on the opposite side of the road, open Saturdays until 2pm and Sundays until 1pm. And so very patient..

Re: Chiclana - News
There's a similar sort of shop in La Barossa but I don't think it opens Sundays.

Re: Chiclana - News
Just a question of time before area of pines developed , todays paper says that the two storey rule is being relaxed in some areas , Chiclana is growing at the rate of 2000 new residents a year , they don't want to widen the area around Chiclana being developed so they will be going up , this will apply mainly to down town area , Chiclana has and is still seeing larger than average house price increases, so with the rich rewards possible will see greed get the better of people when planning decisions area made.

Whatever people say, a burnt pine is no longer a protected pine because as soon as the growth area is destroyed, the whole tree dies !! If Chiclana truly is growing at the rate of 2000 residents a year are there any plans to put more petrol stations in the area as I was in a queue 8 cars long this morning to fill up my car. I really do have better things to do !! |

My Spanish neighbour assures me they are all illegal, completely and utterly. When I asked if the Ayuntamiento could have them demolished he said highly unlikely, in fact almost certainly not!!

Perhaps a hotel? I always got the feeling that Pago del Humo wouldn't stay that rural for much longer...too near the town and beaches too.

The general rule for developing in the area is ground floor +2 as the maximum , as in the Uk there is a distinct lack of affordable housing , so in the down town areas and the new development at San Jaime they are relaxing the ruling to allow 7 and 8 storey buildings ,you never Know here but if you built illegally higher than 2 storeys action would be taken . |
Re: Chiclana - News
A Spanish friend in London was asking about the fires that destroyed the pine trees in Chiclana... she had seen it on Spanish TV in her flat in Victoria...maybe with so much exposure, and the ongoing saga in Marbella, people will be less keen to flout the regulations publicly ??
