4 DAY TRIP TO MADRID
What an experience we had! Absolutely supurb city to visit and would recommend it to anyone! We stayed in a 5 star Hotel, but that was only because it was a big Birthday present, however you can stay in relatively cheap accommodation and make full use of the transport in Madrid. The buses are very good and so cheap, but better than that the Metro is clean, cheap and so efficient you would not believe. For just 1 euro, this will cover you from one part of Madrid to the other, which is fantastic value for money & only 2 euros to Barajas Airport, could not believe this. You can also have the comfort of a open top tourist bus which provides all the orated history of every building and archetectural piece you see. There are 2 different routes you can choose from or do both.(best way to see the majority of Madrid) The restaurants in the central areas can be expensive, but if you come off the beaten track you have some wonderful local Spanish eateries with an abundance of fresh homemade food and the obvious tapas. We were lucky enough to be there when they had to major festivals in the main square and there must have been hundreds of thousands of people celebrating, dancing and singing and we did not see no violence whatsoever. Having said that the police presence was immense and they were situated on every corner.
You can also get cheap flights from Alicante which take 45 minutes, so if you do your homework you can package a deal at a very reasonable cost.
If you would like any more info then please let me know.
COMMUNICATION
Am I wasting my time here?
We are about six active here on this wall?
Our politicians of course ignore us as they always have done and always will?
I need contact with the people who represent my interests here in The Urb.
The Mayor must be very tired with his travels between Alicante and San Fulgencio?
Jeff has, obviously, a PP gag over his overactive mouth?
The amimal ambulance is going through a Guiness Book of Records record setting MOT?
Where are the residents with real matters to take up?
"Where are the inhabitants of the Ivory Tower, our so caled politicians? They seem very quiet?
You are right Angelique,not enough people are voicing their anger at what this new council have done or will do to the people of la Marina,I am sorry Linda that you have your SATS to worry about,but if we dont all protect La Marina,and stop these part time politicians from destroying it,chances are no one will be here to help you walk the dogs,you dont have to be political to see we residents of La Marina,are in for a hard long slog if we allow these part time politicians to have their way and destroy this community,only when they have succeeded,will they realise that they will have no money to pay their own wages,as only a few people who cant afford to move out of the area will remain,so Linda get political and learn to shout when kicked,you dont have to stand on the roadside waving a banner,just voice your disquiet at being treated with contempt which is clearly what this so called new council will do.
I mat suffer with dodgy bones,but i promise that if you start to shout to protect your rights,i will walk some of SATS dogs,dodgy joints permitting
Linda,
I am sorry that you take limited offence in what I say. I would ask you to remember that I am French and am trying to converse in your language, sometimes things do not sound the way I or you would want them to. I never want to offend anyone!
As it happens I am an animal lover also, I have a puppy which I adopted from K9 so there we have a common interest.
OK Angeliqe then I am sorry too.
No Alan I will not get involved in politics, because at the end of the day whatever we say or do, they will make the final choices.
We are here as residents on La Marina Urb to enjoy our retirement, walk the dogs, post information and receive information from this forum and chill and relax, what will be will be........
well Angelique funny you say you are French and are trying to converse in our Language you dont seem to be doing to bad didnt think KNACKERED was a French word a lot of people are interested in this site but because you do not get all the answers that you want from the politicians why dont you go and ask them yourself and then report back. Dont give people grief if they are interested in trying to help the dog charities or improve there businesses
Oh dear, oh dear!
I do seem to have a habit of ruffling feathers.
Sorry folks absolutely not my intention.
ICE CREAM MAKER
Does anyone know where I can get an ice cream maker? I have tried to find the number for Millar Electrical Punta Prima without success as they may sell them, (couldn't find one at Carrefour) Need to buy one asap, so would appreciate any help
Thanks Angie
You should maybe try the electrical shop in Benijofar called Stracco.. Its all British products too...
We sometimes have them at our weekly Auction, we had a elec yogurt maker last week, If you dont mind it being second hand, I´ll ask around, you never know. Tuesday our Charity Auction.
I have seen ice cream making machines in the electrical department in Garcia Bros near Carrafoure
Have you tried the Straco Outlet at Benijofar, tel no 666 400 444. They have 3 shops and can ring round to see which shop has one. Alternatively, have you tried Hnos Garcia in Torrevieja. Media Markt at Elche (near Primark), Discount & Electrical Home, Benijofar. Failing that, if you order from Amazon and spend over £25 it is free delivery to Spain. Norm takes 3-5 days by courier. Good Luck
ISLAND OF TABARCA
IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO VISIT THE ISLAND THEN PLEASE CHECK THE INFORMATION BELOW WHICH MAY HELP YOU BEFORE YOU GO.
Tabarca Island, Alicante is an island where adventure meets the sun worshipper!
The island is the largest island in a small group (archipelago) of islands known as the 'Islote de la Cantera'. Tabarca Island itself is a protected marine reserve and it is this that draws the scuba divers and snorkellers who swim amongst the vast numbers of fish and marine life that surround this little island.
The island is 1750 meters long, with a maximum breadth of 300 meters and it is absolutely flat. It is unique because it is the only island that is inhabited on the Alicante coast. The western end is remote, yet in stark contrast the eastern end is populated by the village of Nova Tabarca, which homes a small population of 100 people. The beach is small which the port backs onto. Coves are plentiful around the island and the waters are calm.
Getting To Isla de Tabarca - Information
Lying approximately 8 nautical miles (15 km) south southeast from Alicante and 5 nautical miles (9 km) east south east from Santa Pola this island can be accessed by one of the designated ferries leaving Santa Pola, Alicante or Torrevieja on a daily basis. They cost around 14 - 20 euros for a return trip.
If you want to know how to get to the Island of Tabarca from Alicante then the timetable is as follows:
Ferry Operator Barco Kontiki - +34 965 216 396 or +34 686 994 538

Information for Parents
It is possible to take buggies / prams out to the Island and we think it is suitable for all ages. Do take travel sickness tablets for your children in case you discover on this journey that they suffer from sea sickness and do take all your nappy supplies, nappy sacks and baby food for them. Make sure you have plenty of water. Plastic shoes for the sea, whether you will be paddling, swimming or cove jumping, you and your children will need them!
My advice to you is this, if you don't want to spend a lot of money on the day then I would advise you take a cool box with a packed lunch. Remember there aren't too many restaurants on the island and visitors are a "captive audience" so to speak, if you want to eat on the island be prepared to pay!
Information for Visitors with Reduced Mobility
There are a few facilities here for the disabled and if you are in a wheelchair you will find the terrain in some places quite difficult.

What things would you be intersted in discussing angelique?
I am not interested in politics either and my posts are generally to do with La Marina and asking what is going on or where I can find out relevant information for what I need.
We are involved with S.A.T's, so I post information on that subject too.
Some people are just happy reading what other people write and dont post personally.
But there is no reason to be disrespectful to the postings from other people.
