Testing street delimiters

Somewhere at the end of this summer, we have been testing some shapes and colors for street delimiters, heavy pieces that we are going to put in the wide street in front of the supermarket, in order to avoid bad parking. We are also trying that they can be used for the people to sit upon, a kind of very small bench.

In a few weeks we will show you some of these pieces already in place.

Improvements in our web site

As promised at the beginning of September, we continue improving our website, to hopefully give a more modern and attractive experience. Now there are also some simple animation effects, and all the information has been revised to assure that the links work as intended and that the content is up to date. The website is already prepared for the 2011 season, you will see by default the 2011 prices and also the 2011 events. The availability page also focuses totally in the next 2011 season.

Some more electrical heaters

Apartments at both floors and also bungalows for 5 persons (behind the bar Amberes) were dependent on the gasoil heater in the showers building near the old swimming pool, from that heater came the hot water.

These last days, Antonio and Vadim are modifying both types of accommodations, installing electrical heaters in each apartment and bungalow, so that the hot water comes directly from inside each one. This will avoid some delay problems in the low season, also avoid some heat losses in the way, and be less complex to operate.

Painting again and again

It is again time to re-paint the wood around the swimming pool, the lifeguards are using a mixture of natural oils and teinture. This will have to be done regularly each 3-4 months.

Today it is sunday but there is a strong fresh air, tramuntana, that seems to scare to the possible swimmers, although it is sunny and the water is not at all cold, or at least warmer than in the beach.

Last day of aquagym

Today is the last day of animation, aquagym, fitness... the monitors are going to leave in the next few days... here in the photo you see today's aquagym session, with Alex as monitor. The weather is still sunny, fine, the water is warm...

Last years we had animation activities only from 1 July to 25/31 August, this year we have extended that period from 15th June to 15th September. Next year we plan to do the same extended period, because it is important also in the low season, to have some activity to be fit or just to have fun.

Improvements in our web site

These last days we have been updating a little the aesthetics of our web site, changing a few colors and adding some interactivity with rollover images and shadow effects. In the next weeks we plan to add some animation effects, so that there is some fun while looking at the information.

What to do with bureaucracy

After some hours looking for a paper, the girls at the reception show us a fun way to solve the bureaucracy problem. We have been told that after seing these images, the spanish government has gone into panic mode and they are preparing a communication campaign so the sheeps keep pasturing.

South Africa was here

Here are some pictures from the last days of the football worldcup, at the beginning of July. We have just received them from fam. Pronk, and because someone here asked for some photos of those days... at last here they are. The final match was followed by almost the complete campsite, including workers ;-)

Survivors in the reception

Here is the reception team this summer 2010. After long discussions for a bigger, smaller, shadower, sunnier, isolated, crowded or whatever place, they wanted to prove that they are still alive and kicking all that moves, so their family stops phoning thinking like they were in Pakistan.

A shadow with a beach

Of the three chiringuitos in the beach in front of us, the further from us is smaller but has an obvious charm. It is also located near the area where dogs are allowed and the kitesurf area is also nearby. From the campsite's door, it is just a 15 minutes walk.
