Hi All!

We have just returned from a very sunny Spain, while we were there we met up with our agent, Paul who took us into Cartagena to sort out the N.I.E numbers- it was a very simple process that could be quite the opposite if you dont realise that the sea of people waiting when you arrive are waiting for work permits & have allocated appointment times so you can actually just walk past them into the building.

We stayed at La Cumbre and although we didnt eat in the restaurant we met a couple that had and said that it was nice.

We had lovely tapas at Avenida on the seafront & also had a really nice Paella & good wine at a restaurant called Arco Mediterraneo which is on the road behind the indoor market in Peurto de Mazzaron.

We also went up to the development and fell for the place over again, it has really come along since the last time that we were there, no consolation to those of you that are still behind schedule.

Paul & Mel took us to a lovely Chinese retaurant  but I can't remember the name- maybe Paul will put it on the next time he visits this forum.

Bye for now

Sharon

P.S. the brother of the guy that owns La Chara has a cafe next door that has a good 'menu of the day' for about 8 Euros which includes wine should you decide to have some lunch after visiting the site as it is right in the centre of the villlage.

Hope that you get good weather, have a great time.

Sharon.

Hiya Leigh,

Good idea to start a thread for local restaurants, we are going out on the 3rd-10th May & we will be going to La Chara which is in Isla Plana itself, it's very 'Spanish' with an extensive menu at good value prices.

We went on a Friday ( we were told that it's advisable to book Friday & Saturday eve ) we then went on to the social club a few doors away & had a really good evening.

It would be good to hear from anybody else that is out taking advantage of the Bank holiday and going to see the development and I will keep you posted on any new eating hotspots when we return.

Hi Leigh

The website is www.hotellacumbre.com

We stayed there last year & we are going back to stay again in May so needless to say that we can recommend it.

Hello Pauline,

When we bought ours (phase 4a) we were told that the completion date would be September 2009, but who really knows?!

We were tempted to buy a villa on an earlier phase but the views from the penthouses on ours  won us over even though we may have a bit of a trek up hill to reach them!

We are going out in May to see the solicitor & go to Cartagena for N.I.E numbers, we will be meeting up with our agent, Paul who is very clued up so we will ask him what his feeling is on the completion date & we will take lots of photos to share with other buyers.

Sharon.
