Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Hi Sal,
The problem was with the wall tiles, it is as if they could not be bothered to clean the residue off the tiles (not that that surprises me!) and we got left with little blobs of grout everywhere mainly in the edges and corners and behind sinks, loos etc. This is what was and still is difficult to remove, and we still have not got it all off, and it makes the finish look shabby. In fact it's more like cement so don't think yours should be chalky.

President of Manzana 1
Read the minutes of the meeting etc, and I never seem to see Manzana 1 mentioned, does anybody know who the president actually is please. I am sure that at some point I will need to ask questions etc.
It seems also that you need to get a key for the swimming pool, take it that this must be for the changing room/loo, again any help on how you go about this.
Am at present abroad and have been for a while in Kazakhstan and shall be going to CE in about 3 weeks time, oh for some decent food.......
Thank you for the help - Karen

You will probably have two keys for the communal garden - one for the gates from the road into the garden and the other for the toilet/changing room.

PS I don't know the name of either M1 presidents, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to help.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
If you are a member of Makro you could get all of the type of things you mention including beds at good prices in one hit. They are in Faro and Sevilla on the opposite side of the motorway to Ikea so if you hired a van and got away at sparrow f.... you could do the lot in one day easily.
Forgive the ignorance...Who or what is Makro - member?

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Makro is a discount wharehouse for traders but everybody seemsto get cards one way or another. First came to UK in Manchester were Dutch or German I think. Now all over UK and we use them as a referance for price of aceptable quality goods. Not always the cheapest if you shop hard and use the internet you can beat them but their fortnightly mag is a good guide. UK cards are accepted in Spain so I would imagine Dutch or German ones would be also. They are all over continental Europe used them in Holland and Germany
Costo is an American membership wharehouse that has a trade section and I think has slightly better quality stuff but I have not found them yet in Spain or Portugal and their range is not quite as wide as Makro.

Re: President of Manzana 1
Karen - manzana 1 townhouses (which phase?) or marina esuri? Don't think the apartments are split into manzanas.

Rago II apartments, I also believe, are divided into bloques, but not manzanas!

The president is in full control legally and any problems you have should be addressed to him to sort out for you.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
I mixed up Makro with Costco re: birthday cakes. I seem to remember you had to show proof of working in certain professions (education, nursing, emergency services), a recent utility bill, and a joining fee (£20) to obtain a membership card.
Just got back from Costco and yes they still do the Birthday Cakes. Joining is not difficult all Professions are included and you can also join through your company ie the binman can be a member if his company has a corporate membership. Trade members get to shop 10-12 Mon-Fri and free coffee and cake to boot everybody shops 12-8 and all day at weekends
Marina Esuri is divided into manzanas (blocks of buildings not intersected by public roads), which, I believe, is the same as a bloque. Within each manzana, there are individual "edificios" or buildings ("E" followed by a number on the address), each with a shared stairwell.

Not sure whether you'd have to get the train from Loule or Boliqueime (spelling?)
Damas buses have a route Ayamonte to Faro and Lagos.
