Hi,

We've owned an apartment in block 2 since last November and we have noticed too the floor marks very easily particurary by black soles and suitcase wheels etc. We've had to use the sponge scouring pads to keep on top of it, yet we've had no renters. The problem is due to the fact that porcelain tiles are unglazed and non slip, unlike glazed cermaic tiles which are easy to clean but can be slippery.  The tiles on our balcony have been stained by what we think is some sort of creosol the builders have applied to the render. (we can't remove it)  I am a tiler and frequently visit a tiling forum so did a quick search for you and I think you will find the links below useful, particulary the last post in this link explaining why they mark. http://www.tileforums.com/index.php?showtopic=4435&hl=cleaning+porcelain 

Also look at http://www.trades-direct.co.uk/modules/shop/products.asp?catid=21 and give them a call for advise on their tile care products for unglazed porcelain. Let me know how you get on,  I might be doing the same yet.

Regards,

Steve

Hi Lesley, Many thanks for your replies regarding a bus service from El Rincon. Does the coach/service from the Town Hall stop at Torri ?

We've had quite a few queries from people about our apartment including the local bus services, from an ad in our local shop and newspaper but then nothing has turned into a booking.  I have it advertised on the internet, local shops in uk, and with a management company in spain but we've had no rentals at all. Anyone with advice or recomendations would be appreciated, like a good managment company or where else to advertise etc? When we were last over there we had a great time, apartment was beautiful, area lovely, and looking forward to going back in afew weeks, just a bit concearned we've been the only people there since last November and still paying full spanish mortgage and bills etc.

Many thanks,

Sarah
