I woud like to start by thanking Steve and the team for managing the complex in my recent absence, and can say that after 7 weeks in the cold weather of the UK, that I am happy to be back here in Tenerife.

We have had a few people mention that there is some painting and maintenance work that needs doing on the complex, I make no apologies for holding back on Non-essential works on the complex during the pandemic, as we did not want unnecessary extra footfall on the complex. As the covid situation is now more settled after many months of uncertainty and a lot of people have now had their vaccinations, we feel now is a good time to start on more works.  We have now asked for quotes to paint the fences, repair and paint the basura doors and the entrance gates.

The pool lights have now been repaired, they had not been working for some time but with the strict covid rules we did not want to encourage some night time swimmers we were having problems with.

José has been repairing and painting the planters on the solarium, 2 had to be disposed of as they were beyond repair, and in the next few weeks we will be replenishing planters and pots around the complex with new ones where necessary.                      We are repairing and painting black the lamposts on the solarium.

In May we had a blocked sewage drain problem on B3, unpleasant for the apartments in that area,  the problem was caused by people putting baby wipes etc down the toilet.  Although the sewage system is fairly modern it is only possible to put toilet paper down the toilet  NOT WIPES!!!

There have been some frequencey changes to the TV recently so if you are missing channels please do an automatic retune on your TV and that should sort the problem.

Once again we are getting complaints about children playing on skateboards, scooters and kicking balls against walls and doors, mainly on C4/D1 and B4/C1   We have rules on the complex about ball games and the use of skateboards etc and I ask the parents of these children to respect the rules and control their children.

We are looking at the possibility of starting the use of sunbeds again soon if the numbers remain low and restrictions allow, we hope to have more information in the June blog at the beginning of July

We hope covid numbers continue to drop and everyone stays safe    Paul

What’s happening this month.   (added by Steve, with thanks to Colin for the info )

Food glorious food is on the menu for June, thanks to Arona council. The Farmers Markets will be serving up the best of local grown and produced fruit, vegetables, cakes, bread, and wine.

Starting SAT 5 & SUN 6  JUNE – The return of the FREE BUIS to Valle San Lorenzo every Saturday and Sunday to the indoor market, open from 9 am to 1 pm each weekend. The bus picks up at the Infanta Leonot Auditorium in the centre of Los Cristianos, and just after from the bus shelter by the language school just down the hill from The Heights,  The return bus leaves Valle San Lorenzo at 10.40 am but there is a good TITSA public bus service down to Los Cristianos, so you can spend a little longer sampling the bars and restaurants of Valle San Lorenzo.

THURS 17 JUNE – From 9 am to 1 pm the Farmers Market will set up along the promenade at the old beach of Los Cristianos, just down from the church. It will take place every other Thursday, and is fresh, healthy, and good for the local economy.
