We have an apartment in las filipinas near to el galan or blue hills-all close to each other. There are a few rough places  ie los dolses commercial but its the english that make it rough (the word chav springs to mind) and there are some nicer parts ie campaomoar golf course area there is a new commercial being built there. I beleive most of the break ins are done on recently completed properties that havent got grills up, there are a lot of immigrant workers from morroco and they are blamed for much of the thefts.They all go home in the summer so there are less thefts then.We personally-touch wood-have not had any problems, or seen any problems, although i have heard of a mugging near el galan shops, and we have had a couple of break ins on our complex- all without grills on.Oh and get your keys changed the day you take possesion.I suppose you get good and bad everywhere but there seems to be more nicer people round than bad if that makes sense!Any other queries let me know.

I think the rules you are on about may be the swimming pool rules, Keith said he had a bog standard rule board made up to put round the pool ie no jumping, ball games, no petting (only joking)etc.I havent seen them but presume they are just standard pool rules for safety.When we were over in August the pool had got very busy and people were going out and leaving there kids round the pool - which is fine except they were leaving rubbish there and cigarette ends etc etc and it was thought that a rule board may be a good idea.

I may be wrong, if there are community rules i havent seen them,although i think admiburgos perhaphs may have standard rules that get applied on the set up of a new community, i know it must be hard to please all the people all the time.But i think Kieth has got the well being of the complex at heart and its reassuring to think that there is somenone there who is bothered about what goes on.
