Dear Owners, There have been no major issues during June – minor maintenance issues have been dealt with promptly and some bigger jobs which are in the pipeline will now be held over until after the summer season. A new area for garden waste has now been established which should make things easier for the gardener. A post box is going to be installed on the wall outside the concierge hut so that if the post arrives when the concierge is doing his rounds there is a secure place [...]

Dear Owners, The focus for May was work in the gardens – the doors to the pool-houses have all been painted, the fountain behind block 3 has been cleaned and Patrick, the owner of apartment 203, volunteered to repair and repaint the benches around Phase 1 and has done a superb job. The outside ‘barranco’ area has been almost completely cleared of weeds. This is something we always had to pay a lot of extra money to have done but which has been done this time as part of [...]

Dear Owners, No major maintenance issues cropped up in April. The path outside block 4 has been modified to improve the access to the garages of blocks 3 and 4 so hopefully cars can now enter from the right direction. Tomi visited Phase 1 on 11 April and is signed off until his next review on 6 May. His doctor however has advised him that he cannot drive anymore which obviously would make a return to work almost impossible. He is eligible for retirement from the beginning of July [...]

Dear Owners, March was dominated with changes to our concierges. Tomi visited the community on 5 March and is looking well although he remains signed off from work. His next doctor’s revision is 8 April. Juan Perdigones retired on the 10th March and his replacement – a very nice young man called Juanjo – started on the 20th. He will be covering night shifts and is on a temporary month by month contract as Tomi’s replacement. Samuel who had been covering Tomi has now been given a permanent contract [...]

Dear Owners, Our new gardening company started on 1st February and the difference was immediate. Our permanent, full time gardener, Inuso, has been working incredibly hard and has achieved an astonishing amount in his first month. Hedges and bushes have been trimmed, dead trees removed, soil turned over and weeds removed. Inuso’s work is methodical, clean and non-stop and he is a pleasure to have around. The pots outside block 1 have been renewed and the plants that were there have been relocated to other areas. Carlos, our previous [...]
