Hi Michael & Yvonne

Just returned yesterday from a week in La Isla and can report the fish have been removed.

On enquiring with Milinium the cause of their untimely and total demise, I was informed that the council had tested the water and reported back that nothing was amiss !

I had heard previously that the lake had been stocked with Carp, what I had not realised it that they were obviously the very rare Hari Kari Carp, who at some predermined date (presumably something to do with the phase of the moon) commit mass suicide.  Also the frogs normally present in ever increasing numbers appear to have flown south for the winter as they were too reported "missing in action" (perhaps they hibernate, but I am not familiar with the Iberian variety)

Seriously though, I feel the disappearing wildlife is symtomatic of an underlying probelm as yet to be disclosed and the continuing low level of water in the lake is frankly unacceptable - we pay over the odds in taxes for our plots, the least we can expect is for the lake to be adequately filled...suggestions on a postcard please !

Hi,

 

Strangely, we have been involved in CDA from the very beginning but have never even been offered a discount card - ever !, but would probably quite like one, does anyone have any details as to where we might start our search ?!

It's said that for something to become true you only have to get enough people to believe it to be so (Rule 1.1 Press Association)

On that basis , I believe that Tom Cuise, Kylie, Robbie Williams and Cheryl Cole (?)  have bought on CDA, but  I may have missed a few other notable celebrities as I wasn't really  paying attention.

Hi Mark,

I believe the man you are after is a chap called "Juan Sheet" - although I gather he has now found an alternative career in TV commercials.

Seriously though, our dealings with PW Homestyle resulted in a vote of no confidence and we sought alternative suppliers - eg: do you know M&S will deliver to CDA for only £10 !

Hi,

Aqualand in Murcia is great - we have now been many times with the kids and they love it ! Plenty to keep all ages amused, well run, clean and reasonably priced - also really easy to get to from CDA !

Suggested Tips :

1. Do try and get discount vouchers in advance - these are widely available (even at the toll booth at the motorway, and in most pertol stations) and will save you a significant amount.

2. Last year they offered a buy "Come today and come back again another day free" offer - which was great as the kids were keen for a return trip - at no cost - a no brainer if they do it again this year.

3. This is dual adventure -  with a zoo and a water park - do both - they are great in their own right - our kids loved the zoo as you can get up close to all the animals as well as buy food to feed them. Interactive talks and plenty of places to stop and have a break/beer/snack make for a great day out. Don't rush round - life is not a rehearsal.

4. For the water park, if you are going over lunchtime you may want to consider going to Ikea, El Corte Ingles etc... for something to eat fist - water park is not cheap and lunch menue not particularly appealing, unless you eat at one of the snack bars in the zoo - (the one next to the Wolf enclosure was really nice) - Great, Cheap and very Spanish -all freshly cooked, fish, meat etc.. .

5. Sunscreen and lots of it - it's like sitting ina bowl of tin foil in the summer !

6. Go with the flow - this is a Spanish family attraction and there are lots of happy, noisy kids - which makes the whole experience better in our view.

Try it and enjoy !
