Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Absolutely disgusting. Fancy those rotten Spanish not even trying to serve those lovely Brits who have only come to enhance their economy because the Spanish were too poor to buy themselves.
They should think themselves bloody grateful that we've bolstered their economy and at least learn that 'Early Grey' is polite terminology for someone in their twenties looking older than they should and not tea!
Pimms anyone???

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
The guy is only asking for advice - lots of us are trying to learn Spanish it does not happen overnight and for important things it pays to say the right thing - and that means seeking out those who can speak English. Why do some find it hard to be helpful on this thread?

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
"Early Grey" might be the polite way of saying Happy Hour for the over 50's? Now that's a good idea!

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Hola, final post for the evening (promise)...
Re: mobile grocery vans. (The quotes were out of sync again.)
It's not a bad idea. I don't mind whether it's Pedro or Peter who pulls up, as long as the horn isn't a claxon, and I'm not kept waiting forever in my "bata y chanclas"
Prices would be higher than in the shops, because of the petrol costs, etc. Our local (UK) fishmonger does a "rural run" once a week. It's a great service.
Buenas noches,
Carol

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
You don't fully appreciate the risk to life and limb I took that day. The pictures do not reveal me suspended from a helicopter in a harness at the end of a long rope. My accomplace the pilot swung me around a full 360 degrees as I frantically snapped way with the camera with one eye and the other eye looking out for jobsworths in uniform armed with walky talkies and pistols. I'm still recovering from the experience three days later. All in the line of duty. No sacrifice is too great
PS Glad to see the toll booth has been removed from the border bridge!!

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Was over in Esuri last week and despite weather not being perfect had a lovely week. Is it me or has Ayamonte improved over the last few months? Noticed several new bars and a coffee bar just off the marina selling some really scrumptious cakes and various teas, including "Early Grey". Was going to mention spelling to waitress but thought better of it - sounds better anyway.
What I would like some advise with is payment of Council Tax. I'm on Rago 2 and have not received any notification regarding this but have been told this is now due on Esuri and fines are being issued for late payment. I did go into the offices opposite Solbank (won't even try to spell the name) as I was told they could inform me but they didn't speak English and was told to come back later. As I was leaving early the next day this wasn't possible but I am concerned that I am overdue. Has anybody paid and if so how did you find out the amount and where do you pay? Very grateful for any help.
