Thought Of The Day
Excuses come in all shapes and sizes, some dress up as little white lies, some are even used for their or our best interests, but in the end excuses stop us achieving and moving forward.
I have been the one saying it is so difficult for me to lose weight; I am big boned or it just runs in our family. Ha who was I kidding, I was adopted and I have the same bones now as I did then, but then I did not have the belief that I was worthy of looking and feeling better, so I had a library full of excuses that diets were stupid, reasons why I could not train, why it worked for everyone else and not me. Excuses gave me concrete boots and fixed me to where I was, taking responsibility for me and banning excuses opened up new beautiful horizons. Where are your concrete boots keeping you?
Hindsight
May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, The foresight to know where you are going, And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

WELCOME SAN FULGENCIO
I would like to welcome the people of San Fulgencio to A Spanish Life. This is the 106th website we have launched across Spain. We hope that you will used the site to promote your businesses and to exchange ideas and information with others.
Well A Spanish Life has worked for me. I run the Los Balcones site and have advertised items and sold them, bought things, and now I am promoting my properties, all positive stuff.
Have added a few topics to My Spanish Life and my latest project is Thoughts for the day given to me by Linda Sage a well known mentor - helping people to achieve their goals.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Suzanne and Richard to A Spanish Life, and I know that together, they will do a great job in running this site.

HOT AT ZOCO MARKET
What a scorcher at Zoco market this afternoon, sweat dripping off you, very uncomfortable, but hey must not complain cos thats one of the reasons why we are here.
Not too many people about and all the stall holders were all moaning about the lack of sales. Compared to last year the takings are lower and they are all concerned as this should be the best time of the year for tourists.
with the euro the way it is, there are fewer holiday makers here at the mo, also they are not spending, prefering to eat in and spend time at beaches and pools....dont blame them really it has got so expensive here now...Mercadonna has just put their prices up for the summer season, aswell as many other shops?...surely they should b droppin them to gain customers???...plus it makes it harder for us locals, who have been here many a year and give them custom all year round?!....interested to know any other views???...ok my rant over for the day!
Chris from the Algorfa page!!!
I totally agree with you Chistine the general cost of living has shot up over the last few years and you quite rightly mention that the exchange rate is now very low, which has affected the spending power the Brits used to have and they are all reducing their expenditure. It makes you wonder how the average Spanish family survives especially that at least 1 in 4 is unemployed.
Hello,
I was out and about today in the the main tourist areas of Villamartin, La Zenia & Playa flamenca and I could not believe the lack of people around. The majority of the bars & restaurants were not full and I feel for all these businesses as this should be the busiest time of the year for them.
Hope things start to pick up as things are not looking too good at the moment.

La Marina Golf Course
The first time I heard mention of the proposed La Marina Golf Course was about 16 years ago. If I remember correctly there was a certain Barry Jump trying to promote the idea. Then it went quiet with the odd report here and there but without any action. There must be some interesting stories of what happened and why. How about a few of you knowledgeable ones spilling the beans.
Ian,
When we bought our first house it was on the basis that the proposed golf club would be built imminently (that was 23 years ago) and the value of the house would increase considerably. Today we still have the house but still no golf club!
When we bought our first house in La Marina, on Extramadura, we were told the same story. The only money we made was by extending it. The Estate Agents in La Marina (no names mentioned) have used that to sell properties down there for years. I wonder if any of us will be here when the Golf course does come to La Marina - I doubt it.
Eve,
You are an optimistic lady!
Do you believe that one day we will have a golf course?
I heard people are still being told there will be a golf course when viewing villas.
I Wonder if any one actually knows if back in the distant past was there at one time some kind of Planning Permission granted for a La Marina Golf Course?
Although this was way before your time Mark perhaps you can fill in with any information.
Or was it all pure Pie in the Sky?
I can remember about 5/6 years ago there was a lot of excitement on the estate because there was a stretch limo down in the proposed La Marina Golf Course area. The stretch limos occupants were all Japanese and were carrying out some kind of survey. That was the last I heard on this old La Marina Golf Course subject. I suspect that the truth will never be known as to all or any of the ins and outs.
Admin Comments
Those of you who are active on other Local Forums are well used to getting your postings deleted or moved to another section on that forum. We were actually trying to get away from all the Rules & Regulations of what you are allowed to do, or not allowed to do on this Forum. No other forums will allow any business to put their own website links in to promote their own business (unless of course you are paying money out to sponsor the said forum).
We at Admin must however ask you please to behave fairly responsible to each other on this forum and, of course, we do not expect you to agree with each other all of the time - the forum would be very boring if you did. However if we think anybody is speaking out of order we regrettably may have to step in and do some minor editing to certain posts. We would also please ask some of you not to keep swearing !
We agree that some of the postings should be split and are waiting on the IT Dept to inform us if this can be done.
Good to see that we may become a proper forum again,hope you dont overdo the editing,but I must agree last nights fiasco was a step too far.
It would be a good idea that personal insults were kept out of the forum,by the contributors,that way Ian wouldnt have to waste his time editing things out.
But well done Ian,for taking this initiative
Are the ones in the rentals section on this forum yours?
