Building, new business…

Work on Plaza Cantarero appears to have ground to a halt, no sign of anyone on the site on Tuesday.

Calle Carabeo, March 22nd 2010

Work has started on filling the hole next to the Hotel Carabeo 34. Elsewhere in calle Carabeo there is little or no change to the situation as the work progresses at a painstakingly slow rate. Hardly surprising really as this morning there were only two workmen to be seen on the whole project, and they weren’t actually doing anything constructive.

Calle Carabeo February 28th 2010

Calle Carabeo, almost finished…

The last two phases, which should see the whole of calle Carabeo ship-shape, will begin after the summer and, hopefully, be completed by next summer. Still a fair bit of upheavel …

Fail!…

The attempt at going via calle Carabeo to the Verano Azul underground car park and on for a stroll along the new promenade at El Chucho failed at the first hurdle! Maybe they meant next summer!
