Nothing changed CC. The area between Residencia El Higueron and Don Juan is scheduled for 1500 apartments while El Higueron itself still has the option to expand to 1200 apts (twice it's current size).

The total number (El H: 1200, DJ 1 to 3: about 600, inbetween: 1500) would be sufficient to merit a supermarket, some small shops and a few bars to provide for an estimated 7000-10000 inhabitants of the Carvalal area. 

As the town hall long ago declared this to be a luxurous area with relatively more green and lower buildings than elsewhere in Fuengirola even lower numbers of effecitive inhabitants should be sufficient to merit the shops and bars. 

Nowadays our 'high standards' prescribed by the official planning actually hamper economic development of our area, but in the long run this will be the 'upper class' area of Fuengirola. Small comfort for now, but good for long term value of our properties.

 Hi Corrie,

What has been decided for the pool in phase II this winter? I missed the last meeting. Do you know if and when it will close for the winter this year?

 Westport, the new golf practise course won´t be where that future road would go. It will lead to the center of the planned development of 1500 apartments between El Higueron and Don Juan.

The project developer has paid about 20 million Euro for his license but as far as I know, the developer went into bankruptcy and the bank now holds the license. 

The plans to open a series of shops and restaurants alongside our new boulevard are indeed old. The reasoning was that when Don Juan would be completed including phase III, El Higueron would have doubled its current size as planned and licences and the new development would be built there would be more than 3000 apartments in the Carvajal region behind the railway station. 

More than sufficient to warrant some shops and restaurants so these have always been in the development plans.

 Best hospital at the Costa del Sol is Santa Ana in Torremolinos. Very advanced equipment, friendly staff, human size and best of all some highly respected specialists who are known all over Europe. Unfortunately I have ample experience with this hospital having stayed there for a few weeks in total over a series of serious issues.

Have never seen this quality of equipment and expertise of specialists before and I used to go to Academic hospitals in the Netherland which have some international fame.

 Completely missed this post. Chris and I have had an exchange of emails months ago. The reality is that this job is two years old and was mostly finished except for on one detail which the owner had to provide. She never did while I asked for them numerous times. 

When Chris, who is not the owner and often sends outs conflicting messages returned to this issue it turned out that they had lost a crucial little piece of equipment in these two years. Furthermore we never promised Skandinavian television; that´s not to be found in any email, nor does it exist. It was about getting access to European broadcasters which are not on the ´Sky sattelite´ 

Everything has been carried out according to plan together with Gemsat, who completely agrees with me that this is a customer issue, not something eithet Gwynn or I could have solved. The both of us have given up on this customer as there is no alternative left whatever we tried. 

As an aside WeTakeCare is no longer open for holiday rentals and cleanings although I still take care of a number of old clients who this summer chose to continue the relationship as they have always appreciated the relationship. All active clients have been informed. Sales of properties continue just as before. 

The phone not working was just a matter of switching from Movistar, which has a notorious bad reception in Don Juan, to Vodafone´s network which is much better. This was communicated to all active clients during this summer; there is no reason to put this on a forum where as good as none of our customers ever read.
