They were first there a couple of years ago, but when they finished building the pool on that holiday village pool they put them round there.
They have been back on the roundabout for a few weeks now, but don`t know if they are staying or just put them there to paint them, although they do look settled as if they are staying.

Yes, turn off the 340 to Arroyo but turn right at the garage roundabout as you go down the hill as if you were going to the Pueblo.

Lol, it would be in the sun all day, I can`t work out the theme of it, but it is so impressive to see live.

Not long I am sure but sadly things are a changing here.... I have started to notice a number of urbanisations that where open to the public or closed off only with a barrier that have been putting up security gates of late, in the last couple of months alone in Fuengirola... Pueblo Lucia 'back end' has had gates put up to keep people out and Pueblo Lopez has had all the narrow pathways closed off to the public now! I hear it is because of the increase in vandalism (never existed there before), robberies and locals being intimidated by strange characters hanging around in secluded areas.

I thought that was via publica, didn't think it was anything otherwise... in otherwords couldn't be closed off... surprised

I am one of the culprits then, or at least was... I used to use it a lot although not as much now since motorway was opened and since I stopped using Wynn's years ago. I didn't think it handled much more than the normal urbanisation traffic to be honest.

Is there not three roads? or I guess the other is a separate urbanisation.

Cappelania on the left road up and down, and Torremar the other two, one up and one down.
They are private roads with no entry signs for non residents.
If they gate them it is quite a way to the next linking road

Yes, there is a bit to travel actually, whichever way around you go...
