Hello there,
New owner on Playa Macenas here. I am the proud owner of a three bed ground floor on the edge of Patios, overlooking the sea and Playa. I came out with my brother for the Fiesta week of 25th August.
On the evening of the 28th August we went up to the Pueblo to enjoy the evening festivities. Unfortunately on our return we found the apartment had been broken into, with drawers and cupboards ransacked and personal possessions stolen.
This caused a great deal of upset and distress, as we had always imagined the security arrangements at playa Macenas to be more than adequate and thorough. Sadly, not so. As well as ourselves when I went to speak to Christina about my break in another Spanish resident was reporting a break in to his apartment at a similar time.
When reporting the crime to the Guardia in Garrucha I found them to be less than interested, particularly as there was no interpreter available. I had grabbed a young English speaking lad in off the street to interpret for me and they still were not interested.
I beg any of you reading this to strengthen your security arrangements when leaving your apartment even for a short time. Lower all shutters, and activate any alarms you may have fitted in your apartment. Also please reiterate this fact to any guests you may have staying at your property, as I will be ensuring this from now on.
Many thanks for reading this. Keith
