Looking Down

One of my friends has an interesting hobby; "Paramotor". I have had the pleasure of riding a dirtbike with him around the old mines in El Algar but I drew the line with this one. I hope you enjoy this video, it does show off the area really well.

Murcia City

If you can't get to see Murcia City which is something we all should do at some point whether you live here or are just visiting, this is the next best thing. He did a good job of showing us around the streets and it's worth watching.

Shark!

I saw this video as it made the rounds online last year. A shark was filmed in the Port of Cartagena. There is no need to worry, it's extremely rare.

Dreamstones

Nothing wrong with a little bit of self-promotion from time to time. I am on the lookout for people who have an interesting and diverse background with a story to tell. My interest outside of work is writing and I published my first novel; "Dreamstones" in America in 2011.  The original cover was designed by; Pink Frog in a UK studio but was changed by publisher recommendation to the image below. The book itself was inspired by my daughter who had trouble sleeping. I was fortunate to have Amazon, Waterstones, iBooks and W.H.Smiths on my side at the launch and it opened so many doors for me personally. Today I continue to write when time allows with a second novel being penned. The title; "ZANA" is only a holding one and it still needs a publisher to progress it to the next stage. "I need an extra hour in every day" I have now kept this blog just to help promote members of the community who have interesting stories to share. Thanks

Blog Split

We have had a few complaints that this blog should remain clear of property adverts, as we approach 6,000 views we decided to make that change. As of tomorrow, this will be the address of our property blog: https:/ /losalcazaresproperty.blogspot.com.es/ Both blogs will be featured on our Facebook page everytime an entry has been posted. Please click subscribe if you want automatic updates. If you have a story that you think should be told, contact me.

White Lines

Ever looked out towards that Manhattan scene just across the pond? Yes, that forms that lovely blend of mountains, buildings and sea. I think this video although somewhat dated gives us an indication of just what it's like on the other side. 18km of roads, infrastructure, shops, bars and restaurants you would be surprised just how many people live there on and offseason. Curious minds need feeding, thanks for reading.

CÓMO ERA LA MANGA ENTRE 1963 Y 1980

Taken from our YouTube channel playlist; "The Area", a beautiful and detailed account of what this wonderful region looked like many years ago. Please like and share, thank you.

The Oasis

The Oasis has its own unique charm that people have grown so fond of. As the developer Masa stakes claim on this part of town, properties are larger so generally offer better value for money in terms of size. People talk about its blank canvass appeal and the ability to create a look and feel that defines personal choice.  Nothing is better just different applies to everything in life, this particular location is no exception. If you are lucky enough to live in this part of town there are some notable features and these are listed below. The Oasis Boulevard A commercial area offering shops, bars, offices and of course restaurants. Gaining popularity with the locals it's no surprise that people specifically want to acquire a property here. The Medical Centre Clinical in appearance and serving the community in Los Narejos it's located in close proximity to Pharmacies. There is a high level of service given the increasing demand from an ever-growing community.

Just Another Day In Paradise

It's a beautiful morning and one that I thought I would share with you wherever you are in the world.

The Man Behind The Camera - An Interview With A Photographer

It was an average Tuesday morning, trying to find a parking space on a market day was proving to be more challenging than I thought it would be. Coffee was a ritual performed daily, once again I stood in line listening to a multitude of different languages waiting for my reward. As I was handed my first coffee of the day, life seemed to be more than balanced once again. As pleasantries were exchanged, I managed to find a seat and sipped my coffee whilst browsing a local newspaper. There was no rush to open up the office as I had cleaned up and prepared for my morning meeting the previous day. I used to interview people when I worked as a recruitment consultant in London albeit for employment purposes, but the principle is often the same. Today was just a little special as I had arranged to meet someone who I think has really contributed towards putting LA on the map.I followed his journey since early 2016 on Facebook and felt extremely privileged to finally meet the man behi

Los Alcázares Street Art

Street art has become one of the many reasons to visit Los Alcázares with tourists taking photos on a daily basis. Residents have started to catalogue them and there are countless places to find them online. I have put together a short video which has been designed to be shared, I hope that you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it.
