We stayed at the Senator hotel for a couple of nights in August... Its not what I would call a boom. Up here past Alicante there are thousands of shapless souless concrete boxes being built all with a price tag of well over €350,00 being built again... We are looking to move down to Los Alcarzares in a couple of years but it would be North of the town......I dont play golf so those would be of no interest to us.....

If you get chance could you do a video from the other end of town near the old military base where their are a number of new developments, we’ve put a deposit down on LA Sunrise and would be interested to see. 👍🏻

It's gonna be a nightmare in July,Aug in the Strip, less frontage for the bars and restaurants, I think the owner of Zarcos has bought a few units next to the existing Zarcos, otherwise you'd be lucky to get a seat after 8pm.

Last time I was in LA the waiter in Fusion told us it should be ready by the end of December because the funding has to be used before the year end.

That’s correct @@jeanshenava7477 . The grant expires on the 31st December, so that’s a pretty good incentive for the local council.
