 Thanks for all the replies, too many to respond to individually.

We will definitely be printing this off and taking with us so we can try some of the recommendations.

The Golf course sounds interesting, something we would not have considered and the Chiringuito with the waves lapping sounds idyillic.  Duquesa is one of our favourites and we have also been into Castillo on a few occasions.

Thanks again and we are looking forward to sampling dome of the culinary delights on our hols.

Hi All,

We go to Fuengirola every year in June for a couple of weeks and like to have a bit of a drive out to somewhere nice in the morning and stop for lunch before driving back.

We have been down the coast as far as Gibraltar and up the coast to the Balcon De Europe stopping off at various places whose names escape me (senior moment).

Does anyone have their favourite spot or can recommend somewhere that has a nice view to sit out in the Sun or in the shade of a cool beer whilst partaking in the Menu Del Dia?

Thanks

Kelju

 I think that my home town Rotherham was the only place that Screaming Lord Sutch didn't loose his deposit, the Tories did that year, coming a place behind the monster raving looneys.

It was in the late 70's early 80's when the mines and steelworks were closing and lots of men were out of work, his manifesto was to bring the Channel Tunnel entrance further north to the outskirts of Rotherham and he had really thought this through - lol.

The out of work miners would dig the tunnel, the redundant steelworks would be re-opened to provide the steel and to employ the out of work steelworkers plus there would be no impact on the environment because all of the 'spoil' from the tunnel would be tipped down the redundant mine shafts.  Once the tunnel opened, wealth and propsperity for all.

I also think that he made Rotherham his campaign headquarters for future elections.

No characters these days, more's the pity, only career politicians who are more concerned about keeping their lucrative jobs than doing whats right for the people and the country.

 Hello all,

I am asking the question out of sheer frustration, it is 9 weeks since my case was heard, I'm not going into detail beacuse that is not what this post is about.

But what on earth takes 9 weeks to sort out?  does the Judge take a long time to deliberate?  does the Judge make a decsion almost immediately and it is the administration of the court that takes the time? is it that I am English and so put to the bottom of the pile to be seen to when there's a spare minute?  Which?????

I do not have any experiences of the english court system, but surely it should not take 9 weeks and counting?  and the most frustrating thing of all is that there does not appear to be an end date so I could be in exactly the same position in another 9 weeks.

Frustrated

 Hi All,

just reading through the thread and thought I would add something.

We have been extremely fortunate and have recovered our deposit and costs in full, this is all down to Costa Luz lawyers and their determination to succeed on our behalf.  our original lawyers told us we had no chance of recovering any money.

It does get extremely frustrating at the lack of information and progress updates and sometimes the only way to vent your anger is to post on EOS or fire emails off to maria demanding explanations.

I have been there and all I can say is that Maria and her team have answered emails as frankly as they can and with empathy.

I know that some of the posts are questioning the success rates and the testimonials, all I can say from my experience is that Costa luz are honest and trustworthy and that when I venture back into the Spanish property market, there will only ever be one lawyer that i will use to represent my interests and to be sure that everything is legal and that will be Costa Luz lawyers.

I have one final hurdle to get over, the developer is now taking me to court for breach of contract due to be heard in early December, Costa Luz will be representing me at this hearing.

If anyone wants to PM me or post any questions about my experience, then I will gladly answer them if i can if it will help to  alleviate the frustration.

Good luck everyone in your claims and fight.

Kelju
