Hi Adrian yes I know exactly where you mean, been up near the castle many times. My house is down from the Police Station square, but up from the pretty square, where the lovely bar is, my local actual!!! It's lovely inside, very 30's, have you been? Yes me too, just need to persevere with the lingo!!!!!

Hey there, any news on the 'electrical upgrade,? Cheers x

AdrianMalcolm

Hi Nicola.
Small world, I was in that bar a couple of weeks ago! I think a lot of Martos was embalmed in the 30's.

All the best

Hi Nicola we actually found a property that has the electrics already upgraded, tracked into the walls and everything so we don't need an upgrade of any sort.

The cost i think was for boosters and to up the ampage which i think you already have! Full electrical rewire should be 1500-2000, our friend had it done in Fuengorola and thats what he paid x

very good question i was qust cleaning up my place and wanted to get one as well had 6 big sacks of rubble and waste maybe more and i asked mt neighbor about it . and he just told me to take it to the local collection point and it would be collected every day. ok as i only had a small amount . turned out i had 14 sacks but i had no problems

Not a problem in the bins for a small amount skips are available at big mat as well as a service to dump your own rubbish on his tip
at the store there is also a tip on the industrial estate owned by the council

Thanks Guys

Timmy - do you have contact details for Big Mat? We have googled it and most of it is Spanish so not sure how to go about it. Also where abouts is the Council Industrial Estate please? Is there a service for furniture collection & white goods?

Wicklow - thats great we will dump as much as we can in bins but will definately need a skip.

I havnt got any numbers as its a stones throw from my house , I loaded up my hire car with about 30 bags of rubbish hard core etc and took them to his yard he charged me 10 euro , the council tip is on the polygono opens st 5 in the evening , as for skips you can get them from big mat about 50 euro I believe realy you should have a permit but if your filling in one day I wouldn't bother if you want to get a permit go to Calle doleres Torres council office with flags where you get planning applications done at , but if you can't speak Spanish it would be very difficult , I went about 3 yr ago to get planning for a patio and can speak Spanish but still found it hard , for furniture and white goods I think it's last day of the month if you leave them near a dustbin

wicklowjack

yes that is what i did but not to sure about white goods
