Home Security

Crime here is relatively low but there are a number of opportunist thefts that plague the town now and again. In Spain there are two dominant providers; Prosegur and Securitas Direct. Both have similar systems but there are some notable differences.



Prosegur use wifi connections and the hub is plugged directly into an electrical socket whereas Securitas Direct offer a portable base unit that can change location and is connected to an online frequency band.

Both these systems are connected to a control and monitoring station so it won't just sound for a neighbour to be alerted. Both smart hubs allow for direct communication too so if you are on your own, you don't need to worry. There is an English speaking department and the installers speak English too.



Both companies have a price for installation and a cost per month which ranges from 34€ to 55€ depending on the number of sensors you need. During my time here I have had alarms with both providers and I have to say that Securitas came out tops for me. Although more expensive, the piece of mind that you get is comforting if you are out or away.

If you are thinking about alarm installation contact us to arrange a free demo with a representative from Securitas Direct.

Los Alcázares Schools

Is The Grass Greener On The Other Side ? Now here is a topic that is often discussed both by the local community and those that are intending to move to the area. Schooling generally is of a high standard but some parents would agree that it's not the school, it's the student when it comes to assessing any degree of academic success. Having raised children from nursery age to nearly University age in Los Alcázares, I can only speak from my own personal experience. That said there are many who would openly say that nothing is better, just different. Children are like sponges An expression that I think every adult has heard at some point or other. For every age group I can safely say that this is true to an extent. Your being non committal I can hear you say, yes I am because parents have a significant part to play in the learning process if you want any degree of academic success. The older the child, the greater the need to learn Spanish but the more cha...

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.

The Old Town Centre

Most tourists and residents overlook this part of town, compelled to tell you that all that it's a very magical place which has it's own charm and appeal. Well before the street behind the Mercadona took pole position as the hub for tourists it boasted an extremely high foot flow. The crisis was one factor that tried to seal it's fate and for many years it put up a very good fight in terms of commercial draw. Over the last few years three main commercial anchors have appeared. Elite Moda High street fashion which is affiliated to a chain in Spain and has a strong reputation for offering a good standard of service, competitive prices and of course quality. I have provided a link to their Facebook page which will give a better indication of the clothing range and accessories. Hotel Encarnacion You may have seen a few places on your trips around the world but nothing quiet like this. A listed and p...
