We have just returned from Spain and caught the tail-end of the friction. It appeared to be between the 'residents' and the parents of the teenage children that had been there for the past 4 weeks of the school holidays. The problem seems to be that they were enjoying themselves to much. The 'residents' seem to think that they have a right to dictate to all other non-residental owners. While I agree that we should all abide by the rules of the development they have to realise that a large number of the apartments are second homes, and the owners are on holiday. They have the development to themselves for 48 weeks of the year with a small number of non-residental owners coming and going. While we were there It was really quiet the only people mis-behaving were a few residents. They keep quoting that it is 'residental', they should think themselves lucky that its not 100% residental. if it was there would be an awful lot of people there on a permanent basis and the noise etc would be 52 weeks of the year. We are all 'owners' and should be working together to come to a compromise. I sugest that the parents speak to the president and vice president prior to the AGM and try to sort this out otherwise it will dominate the whole meeting. Also lets have a bit of a shake up of 'the committee' and get a cross section of people on it, i.e residents, non-residents, english, spanish.
