Sorry, didn't realise putting up directions was classified as advertising, genuine mistake.

Jackytoo, I have never asked my 'friends' to put up posts. I have never met 90% of the people, who have put up posts, until they came to eat/drink. I have had a lot of custom because of recommendations on this and other forums, for which I am very grateful, but I can tell you honestly people have posted on here because they wanted to and not because I have asked them.

Carol & John, my wife cooks great okra/ladies fingers/bindi, I will get the recipe from her and pm it to you. I would put bindi bhaji on the menu, but I cannot get hold of it fresh from a local supplier yet.

Marisol, I think you are ready for a Madras or maybe even a Vindaloo. Harran, my son, who you met, is a big Real Madrid fan, and I would love to come up for a weekend and try to watch a match and we could go out for a curry in Madrid.

Steve & Pat, glad you enjoyed your meal, sorry I didn't get to meet you, next time you are in, be sure to give me a shout in the kitchen!

Had a drive around Esuri this afternoon, first time in about 2 months. I don't know if it was because of the recent rain, but it looked very green. So many new villas seem to have popped up, now really looking forward to starting ours. John & Kath, the tiles are on the roof ready to be put down, your place and the one across from you look great.

Hi JAG

Will be in Esuri late October and also at Christmas... will definitely be visiting your establishment. If the recommendations on here are anything to go by, sounds like your on to a winner.
:thumbup:

Best of Luck

anna, I understood you the first time:) (I was just trying to lighten the mood.) Good question about opening hours, though.

Thanks, Jag, you're a star! Please don't busy your wife for the recipe. I'll look for it on the menu, as & when. Interesting, though, what veg can't be sourced, no?

Early thunderstorms Saturday, v. windy yesterday with heavy rain all day. Just cloudy today and hopefully clearing to sunshine. Regards Bryony

Hi Bryony,
Is this type of weather a regular feature in Autumn?
Come to think of it, in Huelva province particularly, what are the characteristics of each season? For instance, is Autumn noted when certain trees change their leaf pattern (like in other places)?
Regards,
Carol

Marina Esuri - Manzana 7

There is an AGM scheduled on the 1st November for the above manzana and we would like to make sure that we get the administrators to listen to what we want. I have some information that I would like to pass on to you from Mick Biddulph, our vice president and as I don't think that this site is the right place to do it I would like you to either send me a private message or email me so that I can pass this information on.

Hi Carol, we were here late September 2007 for a couple of weeks (before our permanent move) and it was very changeable and cooler. Not sure about the characteristics of other seasons but it is looking Autumnal here with leaves changing colour and yesterday was definitely a duvet, cocoa and good book day. Bryony

Hi Bryony,

I thought I'd ask as I remember you've been living there full time.

I wonder if there are changes in the seasons that local people (perhaps more so those living in towns/cities) might take for granted as it is a regular occurrence? For example, the changing patterns of the countryside along the river Guadiana, the river itself, the wildlife, etc. Not just a change in temperature.

I know that the almond, cherry, and orange groves are full of scent and colour in the Spring. But what is it that makes (or perhaps does not make) Huelva unique from other areas? (This question is open to all.)

I am very new to this forum and am taking my time to read through the many posts. I must say I've found it really informative and helpful.

I am in the process of buying a property at Albatros Golf - phase 2 due to be ready soon apparently. I'd be really interested in hearing from anyone and their experience of phase 1 or even 2. I am also visiting spain to see where everything is up to the weekend of the 11th October and would really like to meet up with anyone to get info, latest happenings, things I need to be aware of, etc, etc

Sounds like shortly I'll be needing someone to do a snagging report for me. I've seen on the forum SB property Services and Pauline and Arthur Nolan recommended. If someone could mail me their details I would be very grateful. Or if there are further recommendations that would be great.
I've got loads of other questions but I'm going to read through the posts first.
Many thanks,
Paulette

Golden Girl.
Wellcome its been a bit lonely in here as an Albatros buyer. We completed on our phase1 apartment, on the 19th, after delaying for 9 months, untill the Mains electricity was available. The water+electricity were conected within a week and so things are moving quickly for us now.
We were delighted with what we saw at Albatros and more widely on Esuri when there back in March and feel lucky to have chosen this particular development. I'm sure you will feel the same way also when it comes to your turn to complete.
I am very impressed with the company who have arranged our connections and in the next couple of weeks will be able to comment on their cleaning and snagging as well. PM me if you would like their details.
Going out for a few days on the 15th of October, so if there's anything else you would lie to know from site just ask. Looking forward to meeting the neighbours and hopefully putting some faces to the people you read of on this site.

1 Locos advice has always been of the highest quality
2. Gerry Im glad you completed and have a home now somewhere great. Congratulations.:beer: It must be hard to hear that all us who have completed are sitting on a big loss at the moment, especially a few days into the completion.

Jon

Jon - Fair points. Well made. Although imho the loss would be greater if completion had not happened - hoping to walk away (losing the deposit) and then somehow buy the plot later for less than the current cost to complete does not compute. Anyway good luck to all who visit this forum - I will now start the next phase of this project and I will not be on this forum again. I wish you well. Adios.

We are booked to come over and stay at CE during October and hopefully again in November (cant wait).

Thinking about the dead time from boxing day until early January, is there much too do? or are most places closed through the holiday?

Hi Ray, sorry but we have never been here at that time of the year so far, but I'm sure that regardless of whether things are open or not its a much nicer place to be. Regards Mike and Bryony.
