FEBRUARY 2020

Last Updated on Friday, 13 March 2020 05:12 Written by Paul Tassell Thursday, 12 March 2020 12:58

We had great weather through February until the end of the month when we were hit with high winds, the worst calima in memory and a few forest fires to top it off.

This weather is most unusual  and hopefully won’t return any time soon.  Now the weather has returned to normal and is very warm.

I wish to thank Jose and our cleaning staff for their hard work getting our complex back to its usual standard after the calima. We do ask you to be patient as it does take a time to get back to normal especially when the calima hung around for so many day.

Some owners did sweep and mop the community area around their own apartment which was a great help to them and we thank you.

Corona virus.

Tenerife hit the news with people being diagnosed with the virus in a hotel in Adeje. This situation is now resolved and the hotel is working normally again. The spanish government have bought in measures to control the problem ,one of which is to ban gatherings of 1000 people or more , this unfortunately means that the l

Los Cristianos carnival has been suspended. However apart from Italy flights seem to be running as normal to most places to and from Tenerife airports.

Many holiday makers are still coming to the island and having a great time, they are reassured  in the knowledge that the spanish government are doing all they can to make sure visitors are safe here.

Sadly in mid February a very dear friend of ours passed away after a short fight against cancer. Many of you will also have known Sharon and the rest of her family from D301, who have all spent many happy holidays here over the years. Sharon was a lovely bubbly lady who will be missed by many. Our condolences go out to all members of her family with love from ourselves and all of her friends here.

What happening in and around Los Cristianos

You may or may not be aware that the Los Cristianos Carnival due later this month, has been cancelled due to the Corona Virus issues, we did have a full agenda for the week leading up to the grand parade. It may be rescheduled sometime later in the year.

However, here are some other item’s that may be of interest ( these may be subject to change as per above).

Sun 5th April – El Origen del Hielo (tribute show to Frozen) at the Auditorio Infanta Leonor, Los Cristianos, 5pm, tickets 15 euros.
Fri 10th April – The Passion. Traditional Good Friday enactment of the trial and cruxifiction of Christ. Takes place in the centre of Adeje town from Noon with a large cast and music. Very dramatic and emotional, maybe a little unerving for young children. All free but thousands of people line the main street so arrive early.
Sat 11 April – Queen Project. Tribute band at the Auditorio Infanta Leonor, Los Cristianos from 8pm, tickets 20 euros.

JANUARY 2020

Last Updated on Friday, 14 February 2020 11:49 Written by Paul Tassell Thursday, 13 February 2020 04:32

January was fairly busy on the complex . The weather was a little mixed with some cloudy days but usually warm,  the night times though were unusually cold for most of the month.

We saw many owners out for the new year period,and everybody seemed to enjoy the new year in Tenerife , the celebrations here are really good and the fireworks are fantastic.

We are into carnival time now in Tenerife and February sees the Santa Cruz carnival which is one of the biggest and goes on for 2 weeks . Los Cristianos carnival is in March,

Car parking  We are receiving many complaints about cars improperly parked in garage spaces, you must park your car within the white lines on your parking space, we have taken the first steps to enforce this on one space in particular, this could be expensive for both owner and the community so please stay within lines to be fair to every other owner.

The pool bar has changed hands yet again, the lease has now been taken over by Scott and Haley who a lot of you will know as they have been tenants on the heights for many years, Scott got off to a good start by introducing food straight away and his Sunday lunches are going down a storm,people are advised to book as seating is limited. We are sending them our best wishes and hope the pool bar becomes the hub of the complex again where owners can meet and enjoy themselves once more. Good luck Scott and Haley

DECEMBER 2019

Last Updated on Saturday, 11 January 2020 04:16 Written by Paul Tassell Wednesday, 8 January 2020 08:48

I wish you a happy new year and hope it is a good year for you all.

December was warm and mainly dry throughout the month.

Many owners and friends came to the Heights for the Christmas and New year period and a good time was had by all. The Christmas period passed with very few problems.

Our security guard reported very few problems at night for this time of year .I wish to thank our security,cleaning staff and Jose our maintenance man for their hard work during 2019 .

The christmas decorations around Los Cristianos looked fantastic this year and the fireworks on New year’s eve were yet again brilliant, the council here really do put a lot into this time of year.

There were a few complaints about parking in the garage, some people are parking a car and motorcycle in 1 parking space, if you have a large car and it won’t park without protruding forward in front of the line it is not acceptable and action will be taken, this is not only dangerous but also very disrespectful to other garage users as it makes it very difficult to park their cars.

We are now into a new year and look forward to carrying on the maintenance and improvement at the Heights and I want to thank the committee and owners for your support and assure you we will carry this work on .
