Thanks for this, will try it next time we are out. Only another 3 weeks to go!! Can't wait!!!

sounds about right ... they have a notice on the board in the clubhouse.

Today Wednesday I saw them pack up at about 5.30pm.

17.30, Spain is metric and 24 hour clock. ;-))

barf.



At the Eurosupplies are loads of books available, I think you pay in 1€ to bring or take a book. (The € goes to charity)

Not the first monday of the month already is it ?

What? Please try to stay on topic here. Otherwise leave the useless comments.

The RIU Atlantico and Iberostar on Isla Canela normally have some books lying around as well.

Hi Gemma,

It was a humourous reply to your useless comment of barf.

PS. there is no topic on this thread, how`s the mozzies in CE ? lol

The topic of this thread is Costa Esuri - Ayamonte.

Listen, I don´t think you are funny. Also if there´s nothing usefull to post except your wisecracks about an area you do not know anything about then please go and try to be funny elsewhere. eg.Siesta Time.

I don´t know about the mosquitos in Costa Esuri. Ayamonte and Isla Canela are without. Sun is shining and predictions for today are 30 degrees.

Vicious and hungry!!

We had a good mozzie free week in Esuri the last week in April until the last night we were there. We had diligently sprayed the terrace of the apartment where the mozzies seemed to collect but......we forgot to use the plug-ins and on the last night some of the little blighters decided to pay us back. My husband just got 3 small bites - nothing to speak of but ..... they had a go at my face. I must have been laying on my left side in bed and the right side of my face was the only part exposed. I had about 5 bites which swelled considerably. This lasted for about 5 days, was most unpleasant and I had to make a trip to the doctors. So to everyone out in Esuri do make sure that you protect yourself from the mozzies. I would say that plug-ins at night are a must!!!!

Thanks for all the info on books.

I answered because I think Costa Esuri is in Spain, so reminded them that Spain is metric and on a 24 hour clock, I believe it was you that returned with a smart arse off topic answer.

Emailling from the Algarve. Superb weather. No real new news from our solicitor. We have not been accepted as creditors which he seems to imply is good. i.e. we have a contract with them which he says they have breached - although I have no evidence how the case is being developed to prove this. However, they have to do something with us if they eventually want to sell the apartment - and the banks are holding 80%/70% mortgages on it. Could they sue us to complete? However the solicitor seems to think it will take time and so I have to appreciate his honesty on this. I am just worried they will at some stage hold us to the contract - apparently that is what would happen in Portugal. It is still difficult to get any clarity about this. We are worried about following up other possibilities (resales) without real clarity about this although we have seen a very nice resale on Rago 2 at a reasonable price with great views. Still rather more than we had left to pay on our prevvious puchase and all the others we saw at our price were not very good. However, we have decided we cannot do anything until our position is clear.

Our solicitor made a suggestion. On the face of it it seems a good idea but it needs some thought. The suggestion is to swop the apartment for a plot- Fadesa had sold all the plots but loads have come back due to speculators who bought loads but could not complete. As the plots do not hold mortgages on them Fadesa are willing to swop. It releases a property and then allows the purchaser to sell the plot. I checked with one of the agents and they have sold plots - lower than original price but I can take a cut due to the euro difference from when I paid the deposits. What we would need to do is share a plot with someone else - i.e. enter into an agreement with someone else who has paid a deposit so that we don't have to pay out anything more - we would need to hope that our joint spend so far is equal to a plot cost plus IVA - I hear they will take a 15% reduction - complete on it and then try and sell it - coming down by 30% will still result in breakeven and would be quicker than waiting to see if we get anything back from this fiasco. What possible issues could there be other than not managing to sell the plot? I just wonder whether it is worth waiting but the solicitor reckons it will take at least a year and a half.

Anyway sun is shining here and it is lovely. Has been a strange sort of holiday trying to sort things out, look at property to gauge how things are going and to try and have a bit of a holiday. Frankly we have had enough so we are doing no more this holiday. What do people think about the plot idea? Global minds should be able to see the hitches!

Pff, you´ll be busy with correcting everyone out here. Bit sad really.

Everyone, Don´t forget there´s a one hour time difference between Portugal and Spain. For those who land in Faro. (one hour=60 minutes)
