We have just received a card today from our cousin who went to our apartment in Sabinillas for his honeymoon. He had the most fantastic time, and can't wait to come back. For our part, we have had quite a few very happy holidays in Sabbi now - we feel a lot of affection for the place. We too have taken goods back to Carrefour and received great service. When you think, that we can leave home at 5am and stand in our apartment 5 and a half hours later, that's very good news indeed. The only negative side for us is that we're not retired yet and we can't come and stay longer.

Does anyone know where we can buy a small tumble dryer? We are in Sabinillas, but we can travel a little. We're looking for a 3 - 5KG one. Thank you.

Hi Justin, Thanks for replying. My spanish is muy pequena.  We completed on the apartment July '08. So technically, it should still be under warranty BUT of course, the apartments sat with the white goods in for about a year before we completed. So, debatable about the actual warranty. Good point though. I will first give the problem to Arenal. See what they make of it.  Will get back to you about your contact if they don't come through for us.

We've just heard from our keyholder that our fairly new fridge is not working. Can anyone recommend a Seimens repair man in the Sabinillas area please? We think it's the thermostat. I am out there Friday, for the weekend. Thanks.

That sounds like quite a good idea, that way you're not carrying heavy stuff around every day.......thank you for that Sharon. Food for thought. Margo
