The Daily Telegraph website

"The Telegraph" is the website of the famous newspaper "The Daily Telegraph"

"The Telegraph", the website of the major British newspaper "The Daily Telegraph," has called Puerto de Mazarrón  one of the best places to live. Equally impressed is the website  "Gonefishing"  Until now this area mainly has been known to the Spanish only - it is very popular with people from Madrid who come here for the month of August. August aside, When the Population trebles, it is a very quiet and unspoilt place as close to the 'real Spain' as you are going to get as an attractive seaside town ".

What the website says is that Puerto de Mazarrón is a good place to go fishing and, so far, is primarily known for domestic tourism, highlighting the swell in citizens from Madrid during the summer, especially in August. "The Telegraph" says that tourists will also find in Puerto de Mazarrón, the "real Spain" and "attractive seaside resort."

The recommendation, which is part of a section called "The Best Kept Secret" is illustrated with a photograph that shows the Nares beach, El Castellar and in the background, Bolnuevo and the sierra de las Moreras. 
This site has been "Twittered" 6 times and 67 times recommended on facebook.

Camposol Train Update

I have just come back from the lst train ride. It is an excellent ride and great value for money at only €3 return. It starts from Sector A on the hour and returns just about 1 hour later having passed sectors B C D and back again. There are regular bus stops on route but you can "flag it down" if it is safe to do so. The return journey goes up to the door at the Hotel Sensol too which is where it will be parked overnight.
 
The initial intention is for it to run from 12 until 3 and then from 6 until midnight but this could change based on demand for more services and longer hours. Please use this service so that we do not lose it! It is good fun, everybody is very positive about and I think its great news for Camposol. As we speak it is running approx 15 minutes late however, I think we can excuse this for the first ride. Please be courteous to Alfonso our driver!
Regards
Teresa

SERVICES ARE REINFORCED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SUMMER

The town (Mazarrón) has recovered cleaning machines for the beach sand!

The Department of Urban Public Services Management is making a major effort this summer to return normalcy to the streets and beaches of the municipality as far as cleaning and garbage collection is concerned. In this regard, it has re-instated cleaning beaches every day, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. In addition, the council has recovered the machines that comb and clean sandy beaches, that have not been in use for the last 2 years. It has also designed a new plan of work for every day the garbage is collected in all municipalities. In areas where there is a more concentrate mass of residents collections may be even twice in one day. Specifically, it has paid special attention to areas of the Port and Bay for being two areas they see their population increased with the arrival of summer.

As Mazarrón core emphasis is being placed on improving the status of wide avenues, with washdown streets and washing garbage containers as it is more than 4 years since they were cleansed. In addition, the town will install soon about 60 containers that have been recently acquired by the municipality to stop the residents having to deposit their rubbish outside the containers.

Services will also conduct an awareness campaign for residents to take out the rubbish at the correct times, it is recommended starting at 9 pm. This campaign will be the prelude to an operation that will be launched to punish citizens who do not follow these rules. Councillor of the area, Juan Miguel Muñoz, has warned that "the police will act forcefully."

So You Think You Can Drive!

Oval /Short Circuit racing is coming to Spain, courtesy of Velocity Racing & Circuito Cartagena - that’s official. For those of you that didn’t spend your teenage years at circuits like Bovingdon, Wimbledon & the occasional visit to Ipswich, then let me give you a bit of an insight into this.
Oval/Short Circuit Racing is motor sport performed within a flat circuit of up to 500m in circumference, which differs from a road course in that it turns in one direction only and as the turns are all very fast, standard road tyres would not last long with the extreme pressures forced on them. Oval Circuits can vary dramatically in length & physical layout and therefore each track presents its own unique challenges & demands on the driver. Different forms of Oval Circuit Racing have been around almost as long as there have been cars to race, as this was & still is, the simplest form of motorsport. Many categories of vehicle have been used from the monster NASCAR V8’s of the States to the very British mini-stocks. Here on the Costa Cálida Velocity Racing intend to bring a range of formulas, including 1300 Stock Cars, 2.0 Hot Rods, Lightning Rods, Junior Rods, Rookie Rods, & National Hot Rods to Cartagena. If you are anything like me, then this is the ‘real’ racing because ‘trading paint’ & ‘rubbing’ is just racing but without the very high speeds & without the likelihood of serious accidents. The guys from Velocity Racing will be holding a drivers meeting on 7th August 2011 at 7.00pm, at the Meroil Garage on the Cv913 off the Ap7 Junction 733 towards Callosa de Segura, with details of the circuit & a list of meeting dates. Whether it’s to register your interest in driving by signing up on the day, talk to the guys at Velocity Racing about the formulas, rules & regulations, setting up your own car, or to just have a look at what it’s all about, then be there on the 7th August as everyone is welcome.
