Hello SooW

It's so nice to see that another Brit has discovered the Costa Azahar area of Spain.  We (hubby and I) bought an apartment at the Club Panoramica Golf complex at Saint Jorge near Vinaros in October 2007.  We too loved  the natural beauty of the surrounding area.  The complex seems to be more of a second home/holiday home for Spanish residents of Valencia or Barcelona, so only two Brits live there permanently and only two others have holiday homes apart from us.  So I have been struggling to get help with what's available locally.  Our Spanish is only basic but we try hard!

We have yet to furnish our apartment and I am struggling to find furniture shops in the area.  Can you recommend any?  We are visiting in late September and I would like to try and arrange at least a fridge and maybe a bed before we arrive.  We have a lady who is nearby who has keys and could accept delivery.

Can you also recommend any restuarants etc we can explore on our trip.  We are only over for a week unfortunately......   

Kind Regards
Jo Ludlow

Hi Morerosado,

Thanks for that, I did figure it out myself and have registered on the Panoramica Golf forum but, unfortunately there aren't any others on there at the moment! 

I have been checking out the threads on the general forum and have found a lot of answers to my many questions already. 

 

Best Regards

Jo

Hi Noreen,

What a shame you won't be able to enjoy staying in your own property.  Have a fantastic holiday anyway.

 

Best Regards

Jo

Hello Noreen,

Thanks for the information, I have registered for our Development but there isn't anyone else on that forum, so it's a bit lonely on my own!  I have just been reading the forums on getting paperwork completed in Spain, I don't hold out much hope now of getting it completed this side of Christmas.  As we have a mortgage on this property, I don't think we will be completing without the necessary documents.

Where in Kent do you live, we live in Sittingbourne, Kent.

 

Best Regards

Jo

Hello Everyone,

We are Ian and Jo Ludlow and are waiting for the ink to dry on the paperwork for our apartment at Panoramica Golf in Saint Jordi.  It should have been ready at the end of June but we are still waiting.  As August seems to be the month when the Spanish go on holiday, I guess nothing will happen now until September/October.  Does anyone else have any experience of how long it takes to get the builders guarantee and local govenment paperwork completed?

Ultimately we would love to move out to Spain full time but due to family commitments in the UK (grown children still at home and elderly parents) this isn't possible at the moment.  

We have been looking on the forums regarding furnishing the apartment and it seems to be the case that furniture packages can be a good thing, but you pay for the convenience.  We would welcome any advice of local shops for furnishing our apartment close to Saint Jordi/Vinaros or Peniscola. 

If there is anyone on the forums who currently lives on Aldea Golf or Panoramica Golf, we would love to hear from you. 

We hope to hear from our new friends in Spain soon.

Best regards

Jo and Ian Ludlow
