Hi Julian

I really couldn't agree with you more. However, knowing that these families have already been approached by other residents with absolutely no response, my thoughts of having Taray intercede on our behalf is as you put it 'better the devil you know' in some ways. Taray will be keen that San Cayetano is a happy place where both long term residents and people utilising the area for holiday lets only feel comfortable and safe. Loutish behaviour should be non-acceptable anywhere. People have spent a great deal of money to secure for themselves a happy place to work and bring up children and/or to use in their retirement.  I know Taray have no real powers, but it is in their interests as much as ours that this is nipped in the bud as soon as possible. Confrontation has not solved anything apparently, so what would you suggest is the next move. Any port in a storm as far as I'm concerned.

Dear All

This news is disturbing for sure. As the offending family are known, is it possible before a committee can be formed - which is taking on the appearance of vigilante almost and understandably so -- that those who are in the process of signing for thier dream homes can 'threaten' delay through their agents/solicitors thereby bringing pressure on Tary to assist the residents in sorting out this problem sooner rather than later.

A committee certainly needs to be formed, but for positive rather than negative reasons. If we can potentially 'hit' Taray in their pockets, then maybe this situation can be nipped in the bud.

Update regarding the park.  It's called Terra Natura - a zoo and aqua park from what I can establish. Hope that will give some of our visitors - and us - something else to look at within the region.

Hi both

Warner Brothers have just opened a major zoo and park in Murcia within the last week. Just off the main '30' going towards Ikea, with the turn off towards the University. Did see a big piece in the local paper about it - certainly sounds an impressive place. Maybe if you go on to Warner Bros. web site you could glean some more information.

Best wishes   Harry

Congratulation as well Alex

As some of the others have said, there are quite a few places around, but would strongly recommend Eroski at the Dos Mares shopping centre on the 332 near San Pedro for white goods. Good selection, decent prices/  Lighting would also go to Ikea. Know its a way out, but easier to make the choices there, plus there is a guy on site who can fit them at a very reasonable cost (half of what everybody else was quoting)  Leroy Merlin down at Cartagena great for the shower screens, but 50 euros for delivery is the only set-back. If you can get them into your car, then well worth-while. Just got back this last weekend myself having put some of the furnishings in - but did go to 7 different outlets to pull it all together, making a good saving in the process. Certainly worth looking around. Hope you have a good trip out there.
