Progress in the area of ping pong tables

After some rainy days, the builders are again at the ping tables area, now just starting the entrance ways. Between entrance ways there will be some plants. It should be finished in about 10 days.

Playground area almost ready to put the games

After some dry weeks, work in the playground area is again progressing. Here Jesus is shaping a little dune. In the next days we are going to put the concrete basis for the new games.

Progress in the multisport court

The multisport court is progressing well, fences and goals are already mounted. The builders are now filling the holes. This next weekend it will already be open to play, although from time to time we are going to close it in order to finish details. It should be finished in two weeks.

Modifying behind the Amberes building

Behind the old Amberes building there were 8 sinks for washing clothes, these have to dissappear, because that space will now be occupied by parkings lots for the bungalows. Here in the above photo the sinks have already been removed and the painter will hide any traces of them.

Protection nets for the football

A builder is preparing the net that is going to protect the vehicles's parking from the balls in the new football area. The area below is still far from ready.

Ping pong table ahead of time

The two new ping pong tables have already arrived. Although the area is far from finished, JuanMa is already mounting one of them, just to see how it looks.

Front of apartments again progressing

Well, after a lot of weeks without progress because it was too wet, the area in front of the apartments is again getting ready. Here the gardeners in action, preparing the terrain to put grass and plants. As a detail, the wooden dividing walls between apartment's terraces are finished.

Welcome new football / basketball field

The new activities that are going to replace the minigolf are: 4 ping pong tables and a football / basketball field.
During these last years we had 2 ping pong tables below the old swimming pool. The place was rather terrible because the ceiling was low and also because there were some camping plots just in front of it that were disturbed by the noise. Now we move these tables to the new location and add two more.
We have been having a green football field outside the campsite, quite big, but the inconvenience is that the door to that place needs to be open, and this poses security issues, because easily non-clients could enter the campsite without control. The football field also was sometimes 'occupied' by cows that escaped from nearby fields and that made the area dirty, even breaking the nets of the football goals. The new football area will add basketball facilities and will be totally inside the campsite.
In the next weeks we are going to report about the progress that is been made. We hope to have it ready in about one month.

Goodbye minigolf

As you may have been suspecting these last months, the minigolf is going to dissappear in this 2013 season. We are going to replace it by some other activity that we hope will be equally or more successful among young people. This will be detailed in several days, in a new post.
Interest in the minigolf was high some thirty years ago, when it seemed that campsite went obligatory with a minigolf, but in the later years the trend seems to go in other directions. Moreover, our minigolf was full of palms and other plants that grew very much, so much that they were too dense for the small area. These plants will be now of very good use in the new playground area in front of the apartments.

Starting parkings for the bungalows

Vadim is currently putting some new signs for the bungalows' parkings. A lot of signs and numbers are going to be needed until it is completely ready.

New bungalows not ready yet

Because it has been raining a lot in marz, the gardeners couldn't finish the green area in front of them. Now they are again at it, preparing to finally put the grass. We will be reserving these bungalows from the middle of May, maybe beginning of June.
