Dear all,
I am sorry I
have been silent for so long.
- The community office has sent a letter to the administrators of Sol Andalusi SA asking for information regarding the future of Sol Andalusi SA. We understand that their report should be published soon, but to date we have received no official confirmation of what is going on.
We do know that
the restaurant and bar staff attended a meeting, in which they were told that
the bar and restaurant will be closed on 4th November 13 and will
remain closed until at least March, but that there was no guarantee that it
would re-open then.
- The installation of the independent lines and meters to apartments in the Central Building started on time and has been going according to plan. We were pleased to raise over 50% of the funds in order to commence works and we have almost enough to pay the second instalment, but as predicted we will be significantly under-funded for the third payment.
There will be
more detailed information soon, but in the meantime if you have promised funds
that you have not transferred, please do so now so that we can be sure how much
the shortfall is.

details are:

- Naturally we are all concerned for residents at Sol Andalusi who do not have independent transport. Once they had the shuttle bus, and the mini-market on site, but without these and the news there will soon be no bar, this “resort” bears little resemblance to that which was promised.
Jo Winstanley,
Karina Pyper and Tracy Ospina are trying to co-ordinate having supplies such as
newspapers, bread and milk brought to Sol Andalusi on a regular basis as well
as organise a coffee morning for residents, friends and neighbours. Please let me know if you wish to have
contact details.
- We were recently visited by a consultant who works for the Town Hall, to measure the decibel level of the refrigeration tower. The community had intended never to open this piece of machinery again, but Sol have been using it to provide cooling to their properties and business. We now know that it was over the acceptable level, but we must wait for the study to be submitted to the Town Hall. We hope they will insist on its closure as people have been losing sleep and tenants, as the noise is insufferable, especially for those in Giralda and La Mezquita.
- Once again I have had a few people saying they are looking for apartments to rent on a long-term basis. If you have a two bedroom apartment available please let me know when it is available and and the rental price
- You may have heard there was a fire a few weeks ago…it happened when the roadway outside Torre del Oro was being dug up in order to access the water pipe. This is an edited version of what Ricardo said about it:
There was a massive leak of water
in the Torre del Oro building, we don’t know how long has it been leaking as it
was going into the sewage system, so nobody could see it. It was only by coincidence that Chema
was cleaning the sewage pipes before the rainy season that he noticed it. The
leak was in the Torre del Oro building somewhere in between the garage door and
the bungalows, probably in the middle of the road.
They had to dig up the road and
damaged the gas pipe which burst. There were flames, I called the fire brigade,
sent Chema to close the main gas valve and we ran in to make sure no one was
still in the building. There was then a frightening second explosion but luckily
it blew the main water pipe so the escaping water dowsed the flames. Chema
managed to turn off the gas at the mains and everything was over.
Damages are quite bad; sliding garage
door completely burnt, including the engine, access door also burnt, the
contents of one of storage rooms are badly burnt, Torre del Oro 2-C flooded
(there was this geyser of water coming from ground floor up to second floor
straight into this property that kept the flames down, otherwise it would have
been a real disaster) plus several minor damages.
By the way, it has been published
in the newspaper.
