Hi everyone, 

 

We are  just about to complete on a Baron style villa on Mar Menor and are thinking of visiting for a week in October and perhaps over Christmas. Its our daughters 19th Birthday when we are visiting in October and I would like to book a nice restaurant for a meal, anyone have any recommendations?  Also is there much going on over Christmas or will it be very quiet? We are very much looking forward to getting to know the area better. 

Hope to hear from someone !

Hi, 

 

This is my fifth year on Condado at this time time of year and I feel it's much quieter than usual , whats the reason for this ? 

 

Perhaps people are here and going off site more than in previous years but our pool has been empty and the restaurants all seem quieter than usual. Very strange!

Hi Underpar, 

 

I went to the new clinic on Camposol and I now need to go to C V I  ( Centrode vaccnacion Internacional) in Murcia which specialises in Tropical vaccinations. 

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi everyone, 

 

We are staying on Condado for the next month and we just found out our daughter needs a Yellow Fever vaccination before a school trip in 6 weeks time , so it has to be administered now to be effective. Does anyone know where I can get this done, or who might be able to give me more information? 

 

Many thanks

Hi 

I noticed this thread and the confusion and some misinformation causing concern for residents

In the current economic climate , I believe we should encouraging all forms of entrepreneurship that allows our spanish neighbours to earn a living.  I understand that noise can be an issue with Motocross venues, despite some notes on here the bikes are silenced to 94 decibel reading  2 meters from the exhasust at 4500 rpm and not straight through as claimed.

The sound  does carry dependent on wind conditions but they will have been  tested for a noise test for the track to gain a licence and the owner will have to conform to it. The test will be to record the a level at maxium rpm and 100 meters away where the maxium level will be 81 decibels and this will be periodically tested. 

Therefore with condado being some 1.5km away it is unlkely we will be exceeding the OSHAS limits for daily exposure are below

 

 

OSHA Daily Permissible Noise Level Exposure
Hours per day	Sound level
8	90dB
6	92dB
4	95dB
3	97dB
2	100dB
1.5	102dB
1	105dB
.5	110dB
.25 or less	115dB

 

The private track at the red finca is closer and the noise is more prominent but again they were here first and I am sure athat in building the resort and the motorway we so gratefully enjoy there may have endured considerable noise during its construction.

 

 Lets live and let live, we have created a NIMBY  (Not In My Back Yard) attitude in the UK , lets not transpose our prejudices to the our Spanish friends who are generally more tolerant to the freedom we once had.
