Hi just a quick question.  My wife and I spend about 180 days in mainland Spain a year. 

If we go to the Canary Islands, say for 21 days,  would this time count as part of the 183 day rule for Spanish tax.

Hi all

just a quick up date on progress of the paseo.  The section between the supermarket and the caribbean bar is now complete and the road up to the caribbean bar now open.    The section of road in front of the olimpo buildings is now closed with more pipe work being laid.

They have still yet to plant trees, plants or install new lamp posts on the completed section.   They have also to install the underground rubbish collection bins. I can only assume this will be done when they have worked their way down from  Los Bolishes and torreblanca.   You would have thought they would have installed them when doing the paseo but it is a different contractor.    Personally,  I think the paseo will not be finished until the end of next May.

Hi Pearce 

Not  sure of the extent of works but we believe new pavements / road etc between the Calpso bar at Torrablanca and the the small roundabout at the end of Carvajal. Only parking on one side of the road when completed.   Some apartment blocks and cafés loosing some of their frontage.

At the moment they have only provided additional parking bays on one side of the N 340 from torrablanca roundabout to the end of Carvajal adjacent to the welcome benalmadena sign opposite the garage.  The bays are maked out by bollards at each end, which will probably get flattened and cats eyes in between.  Not sure if meters will be fitted as these pakiing bays have only just appeared but wil keep you posted.

There is also a lot of building work going on at higueron at the moment with south beach well under way and several over projects started.    That is why the area under the bridge is now being finished and our pavement.  perhaps they will now start on the Golf school.

Hi Pearce 

Work  started on the paseo Monday, a sign went up stating cost and contractor.  A few trees have been cut down and barriers / fencing is stored on the beach ready.  They have also cut the main dual carriage way between torrablanca and Carvajal down to one lane so as to provide parking.  So one Lane now parking, probably going to cause chaos.

Work has started on the unfinished section of pavement, adjacent to the station, they have cleared all the weeds away to expose what sections of ducting had been completed.   Still a big section missing and it looks like the missing ducts for the telephone lines will be installed before the pavement is laid, fingers crossed also some additional parking  and lighting will be provided.

The area adjacent to the roundabout by the bridge has had about 12 pine trees planted and turfed, the roundabout is also being worked on, so all looking good.
