SPAIN CLAIM 80 MILLION EUROS FOR CUCUMBER FIASCO
The minister for the environment announced that Spain will be claming 80 million euros in compensation from the EU as a measure of the lossed incurred by Spanish growers following the incorrect diagnosis that the spanish cucumbers(pepinos) were the cause for the e-coli outbreak originating in Germany. Subssequent more stringent tests carried out confirms that the fenugreek seeds from Egypt were the culprit and the EU have banned all imports of Egyptian seeds and beans.

Bus Services from the Urb
I noticed the other day a new bus stop in the street behind us, (below Consume), but no bus time table, so wondered if anyone knew what buses stop there and times and will there be a bus from there to the beach.

Hi Alan, I have actually seen people using the bus stop, but I just want to know where the buses go to and times.
![](https://asl-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/avatar/377/thumb.jpg?1505210189)
As I mentioned in another post We have even managed to get listed the times and stopping places for the summer bus that goes to the beach. http://lamarina.aspanishlife.com/topics/7-la-marina-subjects/articles/161-buses-to-la-marina-beach
However I was somewhat taken aback by there not being a Sunday service. A lot of people arrive on a Saturday and the next day would like to be able to go to the beach.
This morning even noticed on one Bus Stop an up to date list of when and where beach busses come and go. ONLY ONE PROBLEM bring steps with you or binoculars it is so high up that it just about or nealy readable. Bless them they tried.

Tourism
Do you or the Company you work for supply any services or diversions that would benefit tourists coming to the area. If so why dont you drop me a leaflet in at the office. We will assess the suitability and if positive, we would like to promote your enterprise.
Oh dear!
Our Jeff does not even speak English.
What on earth are Tourist Diversions?
Have you, Jeff, decided that we no longer need a Tourist Office?
Ah! I know, you have another PIPN candidate in the wings for an advisor position?

A Diversion is the use of one's time in such a manner, that is therapuetic, refreshing the mind and body, such diversions are often used to augment vacational activities and they are important in restoring the equilibrium between work and leisure for a healthy physical and mental condition.
We at the Town Hall are working together in order to improve all aspects of life in the area. Therefore we are only trying add to the good things that we already have.

I have been looking for activities that are not to far away and are reasonable priced for when our family come here on Wednesday for a month, with 5 grandchildren ranging from 3 years to 14 year old.

We noticed today that the little fun fair is back at the top of the urbanisation, so will definately take ther grandchildren there, as well as the one on the front in Alicante x

HOGS HEAD
We have just popped in to the Hogs Head - the new restaurant/bar that is just about to open up on the urb (this was previously Thomas Greens). We met Paul - The owner who says that he hopes they will be open completely for business by next weekend. It appears that they are going to have entertainment ie Karaoke/disco on certain evenings and also live entertainment on Saturday evenings. I think Paul is going to post up here and enclose his website links for you all to see. Good luck to Paul and his wife in their new business. Hope this forum helps to bring in a lot of customers for you.................
![](https://asl-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/avatar/405/thumb.jpg?1451344547)
We drove by the Hogs Head last night and there were customers sitting outside. I expect they were just having drinks or coffee as the kitchen is hopefully opening for next weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing how successful the owners make their new business.
![](https://asl-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/avatar/389/thumb.jpg?1467569868)
We walked past there on our way home last night Carol about midnight and there were a few people still sitting outside, we had a look through the window and it looks a very nice place, we shall definately try it x
![](https://asl-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/avatar/405/thumb.jpg?1451344547)
Yes, it's quite spacious inside (with air con), and then there are a few tables up the stairs (where the cards used to be when it was Thomas Greens) - they have also got another room up the stairs which they are going to turn in to a pool room. Agree Linda - a night out there I think for a change ! They are going to do a set menu I believe for the evening, but I have already asked if they would do me yolky eggs and chips and Paul did say they would if I asked the chef nicely he would he he xx
![](https://asl-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/avatar/389/thumb.jpg?1467569868)
OOOhhhhh jolly good Carol, seems like they will aim to please, so thats a date then for a night out xx
![](https://asl-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user/avatar/405/thumb.jpg?1451344547)
Yes Linda - just let me know when you need to **Escape** from your family for a few hours he he lol x

Posts
With reference to posting up here on the La Marina Forum. As Angelique points out most - but not all, joined after receiving the leaflets that are being delivered on the Urbanisation. (We have now delivered to over 50% of houses). We have strived to make the forum more or less totally open and, of course, there are as always, several sides to an argument or point of view. It is this that has made the forum fairly popular (nearly 500 a day viewing this - the La Marina section).
This forum is also proving to be rather useful it seems in finding out information on a variety of different subjects that locals and visitors were/are looking for. We have even managed to get listed the times and stopping places for the summer bus that goes to the beach. http://lamarina.aspanishlife.com/topics/7-la-marina-subjects/articles/161-buses-to-la-marina-beach
However I was somewhat taken aback by there not being a Sunday service. A lot of people arrive on a Saturday and the next day would like to be able to go to the beach. But unfortunately this is not possible – at the moment anyway!! No Buses are running on a Sunday or Red Days - well what does one say? I thought the Council were trying to promote the area.
Ian,
As always I support you as best I can.
I understand that you may not appreciate all of my comments but that is a consequence for both of us when partaking in a forum.
I hope, as our administrator that you feel whether you agree with me or not, unlike many in here, I try and believe I only discuss facts, I do not fantasise, interpret information, insinuate, I just stick to the facts and discuss them in this forum?
I appreciate this forum and thank you for administering it on our behalf.
The only problem with seeing a new bus stop,is that it was more than likely ordered a few years ago,Nobody hurries in Spain,Chances are it was cancelled a couple of years ago,so consequently it will be taken down at the end of 2012
