Dear Owners, December passed fairly quietly although we did suffer a broken water pipe in the square and in the garden area of Pool 2 both of which have been repaired. Our Christmas lights added the usual festive cheer to Phase 1. Pool 1 is being monitored as there has been some sporadic loss of water. Our new cleaner started on 3 December and is doing a very good job. Tomi remains signed off from work so we continue to issue Samuel (his replacement) with a monthly contract until [...]

Dear Owners, November was a busy month – all the palm trees were pruned by an outside company, the pump to Pool 1 was repaired, two new arms were fitted to the main entrance gate and repairs to guttering were carried out in blocks 2 and 9. An accumulation of rubbish in the storeroom of apartment 409 was cleared and the rats, which had been in that storeroom, disappeared with the rubbish. Those rats may have been the ones who chewed through a fibre optic cable which affected the [...]

He was delighted! I have a 20 euros surplus which I will give him when I see him. We still have to wait for his doctor to release him as fit to work before he will [...]

Dear Owners, Concierge issues have dominated this month. Tomi’s son Paco decided, on 11th September, that he couldn’t continue working due to some personal issues. On 13th September a gentleman called Paolo started work but decided, after one night, that he too couldn’t continue. He worked a second night and then his contract was terminated. We currently have a lovely young man called Samuel – who started on 19th September – who seems very happy and content to continue. Samuel is on a temporary contract until we know for sure [...]
