All seems to have gone very quiet on here recently !
Anyway I discovered fthe following artcile below recently and was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this and if it is anything of major concern etc ? It infers these issues have caused delays to the build but I was led to believe that delays were the choice of the Med Group as a result of current ecocomic woes.
Incidentally has anyone been down there recently to see if any progression and what the plan is for continuing the build out of the development ?
Thanks
Irregularities claimed at Playa Macenas

A report from the Cámera de Cuentas has found irregularities
The Andalucian Chamber of Accounts has noted irregularities at the Playa Macenas in Mojácar where 1,395 homes, a hotel and a golf course are planned to be built.
Ecologists have described the project as the new Algarrobico.
El País reports that the Cámera de Cuentas has issued a report which says that the sale of the municipal land involved in 2007 by the then Socialist Mayor, Gabriel Flores, was irregular.
The plot, valued at 6.9 million €, was over 25% of the total resources of the Mojácar Town Hall, meaning that such a sale needed authorization from the Junta de Andalucía.
However to get round this requirement the report claims that the Ayuntamiento split the land into two at auction. It also notes that of the seven companies who bid, four, including the winner, were linked to each other. Now the project and payments are on hold as one of the companies at the auction has presented a complaint to the Andalucia High Court of Justice.
