On 12th November the Mayor of Ayamonte at a meeting with the Community of Owners at Costa Esuri confirmed that work on the Costa Esuri Marina will start by the end of 2010.

In the shorter term, work on the Hotel next to the Golf Club should recommence very soon now that Martinesa-Fadesa has sold both that building and the Commercial Centre.

A company has already sought permission from the Town Hall to install and open a supermarket in the Commercial Centre.

No indication has been given as to whether that permission has been granted but it is looking very likely that great improvements to the amenities at Costa Esuri are likely in the near future.

The whole stretch along the side of the marina is no longer free but at least the “pests” who find you a space you’ve already seen should find alternative work!

I found Neil Marks Photography and contacted Neil to see what he could offer.

As you can see from his website, Neil not only photographs property in the Costa De La Luz area (he lives in Ayamonte) he also has a wide range of great shots of the area for sale which can be used on websites as required.

I work in a “service” industry, where most organisations seem to have totally forgotten what the word “service” means. At best they pay lip-service to it but generally they drive me to distraction with their total disdain for their clients.

What a pleasure it was, therefore, to deal with Neil. We agreed to meet at the Costa Esuri Golf Club (arranged via email whilst I was still in England) and he was already waiting for me when I arrived. We drove the short distance to my apartment and Neil started his work. As he needed to take some long exposure shots I was asked to keep my children from running in and out so I took them off for as couple of hours while Neil completed the assignment.

He promised he would prepare a CD for me prior to my return to the UK and sure enough he called a day later to arrange to meet at the golf club again to show me the results.

Again, Neil was already waiting for me when I arrived and he showed me the photographs on his laptop.

The results are amazing – so much better than anything I could create and I am happy to highly recommend Neil to anyone looking for a photographer in Costa de la Luz.

You can see the photographs Neil has taken for me on many of the pages at my site but as a starter you may like to visit Costa Esuri Apartment Living and find your way around from there.

If you are in fact looking for accommodation I’ve now added a reserve and book on line” feature and can accept all major credit cards.

Taken in early 2006. Sand showing through is because of the heavy rain in October ’05 which washed away much of the seed.

So this is how a golf course starts!!
