Instead of being a N European enclave CE has a more realistic Spanish national presence and is much more cosmopolitan lots of Swedish No plates this winter.

One additional factor to the reduction in price by the banks may be the granting of mortgages by those banks and these are easier post crisis for Spaniards than others.

Probably the reason for the additional reductions on Rago 1,only a few remaining now and prob not in the best spots,plus they are all sold as seen. IE,empty shells?

I thought the other site was known as Rago 3?.
Having just spent 10 days at Esuri it was good to see lots of activity on Rago 1,mostly Spanish couples who arrive each fri in their droves.

The local was well attended each night,and we now have Jag's sports bar open,so you can actually watch the football all the way through?.

In Las Colinas there are bank apts. (BBVA,LA CAIXA) w/ guarantees and others FADESA and private companies w/o guarantees (as is-won't fix broken appliances or fixtures,etc.)

Mercadona supermarket is introducing give way signs,
roundabouts and fast lanes within its store to combat trolley rage among
customers. The supermarket in by the BP garage is due to
launch the so-called Aisle-Way Code today to enhance a mood of calm
inside the upmarket supermarket. Apparently the store’s manager has denied
the new rules were an over-reaction, claiming health and safety
regulations demanded it. Instead he believes the unique move
will create a tranquil atmosphere for customers as they stock up on
groceries. Under the controversial measures slow and fast lanes,
roundabouts and give way signs will be introduced in every aisle while
trolleys will be fitted with “vital” wing mirrors.The measures
will deter a small minority of shoppers who cause problems by pushing
heavily-loaded shopping trolleys too fast and do not give way at busy
aisle junctions, particularly at peak weekend and evening times.

Notices on trolleys will promote trolley etiquette by asking shoppers to wave
each other into free spaces and respond with a “thank you” hand signal,
similar to the one used by drivers at the wheel of a car.

Weird - I saw the Spanish version and used google translate and got this....

As you can see Google still has some ways to go - but not bad....

Mercadona is the introduction of yield,roundabouts and roads within their store to combat rabies in the truck customers. The supermarket of the BP petrol station is due to put in place the roads today corridor Code to improve a calm environment in luxury supermarkets. Apparently, the store manager refused
the new rules were an overreaction, saying health and safety regulations required it. Instead, he believes that the only movement create a relaxing environment for customers and stock up edible. Under the measures in fast and slow lanes, roundabouts and giving way to be introduced in all corridors, while
cars will be equipped with "vital" mirrors.The wing measures deter a small minority of buyers who can cause problems by pushing shopping carts heavily loaded too fast and not give way to availability union hall, especially on weekends and peak hours of the night.

Notices promote the label cars car buyers asking wave each other in the gaps and respond with a "thank you" hand signal,similar to that used by drivers at the wheel of a car.
