True to say things have improved and very quickly in many areas since the boom days.
wow Every time I go to various parts of Orihuela Costa and beyond many lovely country lanes have disappeared and dual carriageways and yes yes yes we love our Redondas too and especially when one goes round &round..and round to find that signpost that suddenly disappears.
Their is never a problem of traffic jams but still the problem of those that have just landed and toddling along to their sunny destination by the Pools & bars who already who were already over the legal limit before stepping down on the sunny soil. But then they ignore the Fact that Now we have changed and moved up to ZERO tolerance.

The X-Mas. cards finally used to arrive in April or May but then there was always Mañana. The Iberdrola,Aguahest bills that never arrived as the Correos had no record of us or the existence of our Urb. Humm.. The dreaded Telefonica Bills. arrived before we even had the Linea Basica. Hurray Now every street Has a Name on a blue plaque with a matching colour Post and ..wait ..and a local Policia post no. so the now the ambulances and fire brigades and of course the policia local seldom carry on passed the callers homes. These are but serious improvements. Now we can request at the local town hall to come and reprimand rather than repair those humongous potholes that use to hang around like the ladies &little gents of the knights
We have new hospitals, all the charity and clubs that some one supported back home. Finally after at least 4 attempts and Minus €2000. Many have that Cori, maxfactor!! and E-Ender Satellite Leagal Dish
The ayuntanmiento desprately organised free Spanish lessons,petance Yoga,and parties but we cant change as As a rule the English & Germans do Not play or share activities to gathers but still things have changed in other areas as all the many corrupt ladrones are locked up although new ones are arriving but the Latitudes and Longitudes seems to have changed.It must be due to the cold northerly winds. Before communication with the Spanish in the banks,shops,supermarkets etc.etc.. was impossible but now things have changed and they thoroughly enjoy practising so why learn Spanish."some things never change." Finally before we (some of us9used to flash our glittering new notes in the markets and could not wait to pay for those bargains but the libre has tumbled and now we count the centimos from the piggy banks to pay for the 250 gm of Bananas. "Viva España." We no longer leave our handbags out of our sights.
