Water park
 
Anyone know if Aquapolis near Cartaya is still functioning in the summer months?

Was last year not open this year yet went past the other day. If you wait another year the one at Esuri should be open. Apparently the delay has been laying the water main from Ayamonte because the road between town and the motorway was controlled by the Province but they have now handed it over to Ayamonte Ayuntamiento so they can give themselves permission to lay the main.

The real problem might just be who owns it, the funding is Russian and they like waterparks apparently. That and bumping people off.

Thanks John, so Esuri looks like a done deal - sounds encouraging. The assassin didn't do a very thorough job of the Russian guy at Canary Wharf did he?. Umpteen bullets and didn't finish the job. You just can't get good help these days!

Rodrigo who used to work for Aymerich now works for Aquopolis? He has just posted an ad on Facebook asking for Job applications for there this summer.
So I guess it is opening soon

On the left as you drive up from the Motorway behind the electricity generating station next to the fish farm.

Ok thanks John.
We went to the one in Cartaya couple of years ago ,and was OK but a bit dated. Going to the one in Portugal means paying the dreaded toll, so woud be excellent if it happens.

There seems to be a waterpark next to the roundabout by the old O'Infante restaurant on the Altura spur road from the A22. I don't know if it's new, I've never noticed it before. In which case you can visit without using the toll bit of the A22

It closed down years ago due to a tragic accident!

It has been used in the summer as a "Outdoor nightclub"

Hi John

Is it 100% that they will make the water park in CE?

How comfortable are you that it will be open in 2013?

........... Dont know where the money will come from.......

Thanks

Jon
