Very hard to call this one! However I think Nadal is beginning to find his form again since recovering from his injury last year, and I have to go for Nadal in 4 sets. Should be a great tennis match to watch.

I love tennis so I will be watching this rather fantastic match between the two best players in the world. I am going for Federer to win in 4. I think if Federer wins it will be his 13 or 14th Grand Slam of his career. I just hope its another tennis classic.

Well done to Rafa Nadal for winning his 6th French Open by beating Roger Federer in 4 sets. Well done also to Chris who predicted a Nadal victory in 4! Unlucky John better luck next time.

There is a lookout platform in the Natural Parc at the Montesinos roundabout off the Crevillente Road CV 905. Tell us how you get on and maybe show us a picture...

I was taken to a place just down by the golf club, it was a mini golf course but Spanish looked a bit strange from the outside but it had the best Tapas I had every eaten in my 9 years in Spain.

Try Manola's next to Consum on Dona Pepa 2 it has a very good choice of tapas and nice frIendly staff

Yes you have Villamartin, Las Ramblas, Campaomor within 15 mins of each other and 30 mins away you have La Finca..hope this helps

For the first time ever three British councillors have been elected in the same municipality ie San Fulgencio and it would make history if these three were actually installed as governing councillors, giving residents of the urbanisations a voice in local government: Mark Lewis (APSFU), Brian Deacon (PSOE), and Jeff Wiszniewski (PIPN).

The PP party's 8 elected councillors are all Spanish in an area continually boasting its multi-national status. Commenting on his own website, Mark Lewis said “The Spanish voters won the day due to the unwillingness of the British people and other Europeans to go to the Polling Station. The requirements of the Spanish voters may now take priority over the wants and needs of the English and other nationalities living in the urbanisations.” All eyes will now be on 10th June to see the outcome.

Well looking at the way the last administration treated " The Spanish Voters" especially in Oasis, I am not surprised, in fact delighted at the outcome. Maybe we can now have a coalitition which will treat ALL residents fairly, and Oasis will finally have it's infrastucture replaced. As for not enough British and Europeans voting, the right to vote was taken away from us by the last administation, unless you were on the Padron, and you had to be a resident to be on the Padron. Maybe the new administration will reverse this unjust rule, Remembering most expats that have a property here are NON residents but enjoy the luxury of owning a holiday home, and paying their Taxes all year round to the Town Hall in San Fulgencio.

Hi There
When you arrive on the Urb ask someone to point you in the direction of the Saterlite roundabout ( thats what it's known as locally) There is a cable company there doing a package which includes TV, Telephone with your choice of free calls to Europe or Local calls and 2mg Adsl ( Broadband) for €36 a month. We have had the system for 3 months and so far it has been excellent. They do charge an installation fee and also if you want more than 1 box for the tv you will pay more for installation and more per month. You can also upgrade the ADSL to 4mg for about €6 extra a month. We have found 2mg is fine for normal internet use and even for downloading, but slow when using Skype.
We origionally had Telephonica internet and telephone. They were doing a deal for €40 a month for the first year, but then it's about €60 after that, plus calls, so now we are making a big saving. Also at the Saterlite roundabout the people in the office speak english. Good luck....

Hi Nikki,

Thanks for that, I have noted it down! and we definately go there when I arrive.

Hiya,

sorry forgot to ask do you know how much the instalation fee is roughly?

Hi there
The installation cost for us was nearly €300 but we have 2 tv boxes and I think around €70 was for the second box.

If there is a television installed at the property through Torresat then this is one of your cheapest options. If you are going to be on La Marina Urbanisation it costs 21 euros a week for your internet and includes free calls to England. You pay about 6 cents a minute for calls in Spain. There is a charge for connection but I don't know what the deal is at the moment. Hope this helps.

Hi Eve, yes there is English TV in the property so we would only need the internet? Did you mean 21 euros a month or week?
