I look forward to seeing more up to date photos of how the road/pavement works are going.

We are out first week of April. Do you think work will be finished by then?

Can't see much chance of seeing any difference to the heart of LG this year. Maybe another 2/3.

SandyLea · « **Reply #2 on:** January 26, 2019 »

Gosh Victor really!!??
I was hoping that Dolly would post some more photos.

Sandylea ...... the only work being done at this moment is the new main sewer from Tamara down to the beach road at the harbour (since 2 October) ...it's due to finish in 2/3 weeks. After that the major renovation works to the roads, pavements, street lighting and street furniture will begin ..... I understand that this is expected to last 18mths - 2 years .... so some considerable disruption to come ...but should be worth it at the end of the day. Plus the renovation of the Lido is due this year as well....

So happy the lido is being worked on

Sorry to post

SandyLea · « **Reply #5 on:** January 27, 2019 »

Thank you frogeddy. I think our week will be disrupted somewhat.

Dolly Diver · « **Reply #6 on:** January 27, 2019 »

Yes, I took a couple of photos yesterday. Will post them later today.

SandyLea · « **Reply #7 on:** January 27, 2019 »

The photos are excellent. Thank you. I do fear our holiday first week of April isn't going to be as pleasurable as usual because of these works and the noise from the construction of Cristal.

How is the new walk from the barcelo hotel to crab island coming on please

Dolly Diver · « **Reply #9 on:** February 09, 2019 »

Very slowly. No sign of completion yet. I will take some photos next time I am passing

Georgie · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2019 »

Thank you

Hi Dolly, any news on Masca bay pontoon repairs/re-opening.
Guess you guys are enjoying the lack of boat traffic for your dives.

Dolly Diver · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2019 »

There is no news on Masc walk opening again.

The taxi boats from Masca are never a problem to divers. We have to anchor very near the cliffs for suitable depths and the taxi boats are further out to sea. Also they know us well so keep well clear.

I was asked this question a few days ago "How is the new walk from the barcelo hotel to crab island coming on please"

I passed by on Sunday. There is still a lot of work to do, difficult to judge how much longer they will take.

Bloody hell!! I hadn't realised the enormous extent of the work. Why? What was wrong with how it was before? Seems a waste of money. I think our holiday next month is going to be ruined because of all of this. Glad I don't live there now.

pilgrim · « **Reply #15 on:** February 12, 2019 »

I guess the owners of the villas will be looking forward to the financial compensation!

Georgie · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2019 »

I for one would enjoy the walk rather than cutting through the la pergola restaurant

Are you all saying it has be paid for through your rates and tax

That is not right

SandyLea · « **Reply #17 on:** February 12, 2019 »

When they did the pavement about 5 years ago down in the harbour, the businesses didn't get compensation, at least Sonia and Arthur who ran the Dolphin at that time, didn't, and they were forced to close for about 4 weeks.

Georgie · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2019 »

That is not fair

pilgrim · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2019 »

I was being facetious. The Canarian's at Political level, are a law to themselves. If they jump on you
try to get out of the way, as it won't matter if they break your legs or business - you wont see a penny.
Like many (most) countries in the EU they don't play cricket. And seem to get away with it.
Thank God were leaving.

SandyLea · « **Reply #20 on:** February 12, 2019 »

Agreed.

Georgie · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2019 »

Thanks dolly

Not much has changed since our visit in December

Bit will make all the difference

unhappy · « **Reply #22 on:** February 18, 2019 »

Just returned from staying in Sansofe for 10 weeks in the complex next to the new pathway what a waste of money.

By the pace they are going it might be finished this year, they are now in the process of building up the cliffs with rocks and cement

AWOL · « **Reply #23 on:** February 18, 2019 »

It seems that there is road works all over the area. Shame they do not finish one job before starting another. Just hope none are being done by the company that did the square re tiling😂😂

SandyLea · « **Reply #24 on:** February 18, 2019 »

I agree with Unhappy, a total waste of money.

pilgrim · « **Reply #25 on:** February 18, 2019 »

I still cant look at it. The grey/white blocks are now filthy. Covered in mud and dog I am an idiot, why can't these
so called dog lovers be filmed and fined when fouling. And the grey ones have white blobs all over them,
where the chewing gum has been spat out and stamped on. Probably by the dog owners, waiting for their animal to have a shi#e.

SandyLea · « **Reply #26 on:** February 19, 2019 »

They also ruined the courtyard in Poblado Marinero when they re-did it a few years ago. They just poured some horrid concrete over the cobbles and not evenly either. They ruined the built in plant holders. They can't seem to do anything nicely.

Where is the money for all this coming from? The EU? Maybe when we are out, the EU won't have so much to give away......

Georgie · « **Reply #27 on:** February 24, 2019 »

Booked el sombrero in March 2020 so hopefully the work will be completed by then

2 weeks away from our first visit north of the island in puerto de la cruz

Any tips from anyone would be much appreciated

unhappy · « **Reply #28 on:** February 24, 2019 »

Georgie, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, ASK US IN FEB 2020 the Island might have sunk by then with you the only resident ON IT

Georgie · « **Reply #29 on:** March 06, 2019 »

Unhappy

Sorry for upsetting you it was not meant to be

I was just asking now that we are coming up to retirement
