Dear Owners, On Friday morning on his way home from work Cristobal Gavira, one of our concierges, had a serious accident on his motorbike and is currently in hospital. He broke his femur, which has been operated on, and shattered one of his knees which the doctors are still deciding how best to repair. Cristobal's wife is 6 months pregnant and Cristobal had planned to take 16 weeks paternity leave when his baby arrives early August. It seems unlikely that Cristobal will return to work before starting his paternity [...]

Dear Owners, April was dominated by problems with Pool 2. We had a leak which had to be investigated and whilst waiting to find an appropriate company to do that at a reasonable cost we had a major breakdown of a piece of filter equipment which resulted in the loss of almost all the water. Both problems have now been fixed but we now face another huge water bill. Gerardo has again been spending time chasing debtors and the financial situation has improved slightly. At 6 May a total [...]

The problem this time was a huge amount of water entering in the basement area. Obviously we were not able to have our AGM last November because of restrictions. We are now over halfway through our community year and some people are still unable to travel to Spain. We can either wait and hope we can have an AGM this coming November or try to [...]

Dear Owners, No major dramas to report through February thankfully. More heavy rain did cause another problem with water entering the lift shaft in block 6. We asked Jorge to look at the problem and he has had discussions with Schindler as to how we might prevent this happening again. The insurance company will pay for the repairs again this time but they have said they will not continue to do so as it has happened twice already this year and the repair work comes to several thousand euros, [...]

Dear Owners, Some good news in that Cristobal tested negative and returned to work on 10 January after 10 days self-isolation. The financial situation has improved slightly although the amount owed to the community is still at an extremely high unacceptable level. The massive storm on 9 January caused power cuts and flooding which resulted in the lift in block 7 being out of action for over a week. The repairs to the lift cost almost 3,000 euros which we have claimed back on the community insurance. The worst [...]
