WHAT IS GOING ON IN LA MARINA

I have a large golfing group coming over for a few weeks and we would like to travel round the ex-pat areas and see what is going on. So can anyone let me know about La Marina and the places that we should go to.


You should call in a Divas Bar, the hub of the community!

You should book a table at El Matador on a Friday Night and see the amazing Bella Luna!

Is Divas bar where all the Ex-pats hang out? Can you give me directions to it please. I know the main drag though La Marina and that's about it.

Diva's Bar, is almost at the top of the Urb, on the main strip, near the chemist and little newsagents, also near where Cromwells use to be.

Hi Bobby I am not from this area but have been a few times, its very nice and even though its very much a Spanish area there are a lot of Brits there. I am sure they have a local bar they hang out in as do most of the areas where x-pats are living. Good luck in your search.

Commented Daves Homes in Rojales 2011-05-05 07:11:44 UTC

We will see what we can do for you.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN LOS BALCONES

I would love to get to know all about this area, we have passed though so many times on the N332 and have always stopped off for a few hours, but we are thinking of stopping for a week in the summer, is it possible for the locals to let us know what there is to do in the area and where best to eat and drink. I have seen places like the Courtyard listed so I will give this one a try but where else is there.

Los Balcones

Will you be hiring a car or just keeping local? and where will you be staying?

Worst First Date Story

Worst First Date Story

If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or not!!! We have all had bad dates but this takes the cake.

Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!

She said it was midwinter...Snowing and quite cold... and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah.

It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon..

They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car

They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.

Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem, due to the extreme cold.

Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply that indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some assistance!

He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem.

Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.

As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down. 'And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment...'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.'

Oh and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show.

NEW TAX LAWS

I have been contacted by my solicitor in Torrevieja about the new tax laws which are apparently going to be very strict. They say the tax authorities will liaise with utility companies to establish if properties are using electricity, etc. But apparently if you live in the UK and have to pay tax on the Spanish rental, you can get exemption from paying UK tax as well. Let's hope!

Quesada

Thanks for the info, I was also looking into this issue. Are you saying that if you are paying the tax in the U.K on your rental income then in fact you should be paying it in Spain?

Also do you know when all this is going to happen and if they are just looking for you to pay the tax from now on or they are going to back date it. And fine those that have not paid their tax?

PROPERTY TO RENT

I see that there are no properties to rent on this site. I hope it is go then to ask the forum members if they can help me out. I am looking for a nice 2 bed apartment for July 2 weeks and over looking the sea if possible.


Hi Dave

Justin asked about rental property a couple of weeks ago and Dawn responded saying her friends have property for rent. She might be worth contacting.

Commented Ian in Guardamar del Segura 2011-05-04 19:53:15 UTC

Thanks for the info Ian I will make contact. Do you know of a estate agent in the area that does rentals as I would like to have a look as to what else is on offer. Hope you do not mind me asking.
