Hi All
My source of information regarding the pathway was Pilar in the Spa Valley Office. I believed her as she has no reason to mislead us. However, Fernando's comments are more encouraging. When I was in Spa Valley in May the council were working in the area of the lemon groves, they seemed to be laying pipes. I agree with Fernando that the hotels etc are not blocking our access to the spa facilities, its in their interest for spa valley residence to have easy access to their facilities.
Things have moved on a lot since we first stayed in our apartment in 2007. There were no roads and the paths were non existant. In fact, my husband fell down a hole out walking one night and spent the next day in the health clinic. It was a bit of a nightmare, with no Spanish. Anyway, things have improved since then.
Also Mattock please be aware that you do not have to walk along the main road, with no foothpath. There is a walkway to the left just before the junction with the new traffic lights and it leads to the path on the main road. However, I agree this is not satisfactory. Also there was to be a bus to bring people to the spa. This seems to have been shelved too.
Regarding the meeting in July 11th, we received the minutes of the last two meetings and the only part in English was requesting the quarterly management charges. The rest was in Spanish. As we make up a fair percentage of the residence we should get an english version. How can we vote otherwise; Translating it using google is not very satisfactory. Also there is no point in attending the meeting unless there is a translator present. This should be standard practice.
After my last visit to Spa Valley I felt more optimistic. The place is getting more settled and local families are coming with their children to use the playground.
My main concerns are - 1. The Pathway 2. What will they do with the open spaces. They really are a mess, anyone renting would be very disappointed with the standard and may not come back. and 3. Will the other developments be finished, or will they suffer the same fate as many other developments in Spain and here in Ireland.
Please keep this forum going. Its a great to know that there are Spa Valley people out there somewhere.
