The Foro

Initially I was very pleased & some what  greedy to think that the Foro was going to be oposite or very near to our Jardin (5)

Was`nt too chuffed when I read it was to be moved. However have just returned from Condado &  I have to say  It seems to be going at quite a pace. When we arrived on the 19th there was still a large portion of the outer wall to be completed & concidering that there were a couple of days when the wind would have made building or any type of work done at a hight very dangerouse. by the time we left last saturday the outer wall was complete & a lot of internal building was being done. So though as a none  driver I wouldnt be able to get a lot of shopping done if Ham was`nt with me . I have to say that I really do`nt mind where it is now because I think the overall finish will be good.

It does have some goodpoints too. Can`t spend MY money If I can`t carry it can I 

We meant to take our camera with us & forgot it.

Would be great if some of you going over later this month could take som pickies of the area for us all to see.

I can tell by the quality of many of the photos already posted , there are some budding David Baileys out there.

Or are you all to young to know who he is.

To Pam & Pamela ( how spooky is that )

Thanks

I feel like a school girl getting all excited for xmas only this is a shopping area.

But then we girls do  like to shop. Not food. but clothes, shoes & more shoes & bags & hats.

Sorry guys do I need to say more, Except hold on to your wallets.

Does anyone know if the area in the centre of the Foro is a swimming pool or simply a decorative water feature?  I know they have a communal pool beside the restaurants on Mar Menor so wonder if this is the same idea? - Probably not as it seems quite close to shop doors!!  Can just imagine wobbling out of the bar and smack bang 'heed first' into the carp pond !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Arlene

Is that after your 7 euro glass of wine and bag of plain crisps   lol, I think its just a feature BUT Tom wants me to bring it up at the GM that it should be a heated swimming pool for the kids whilst their Mums shop til they drop !!! I think the answer to that will be ....NOT Happening !!!

See ya soon Girly

Damn - you're right - it's too dear to get inebriated on Condado. Well we will just have to go with Tom's idea of a heated pool for us all to use in the cold winter months.  Sounds like a plan - go Tom!!
