El Ancla Devastating news

[mike_dublin]

Digger is back today!
Its a JCB today, bigger machine, to book this heavy plant you would need to book weeks if not months in advance, especially at this busy building time, so I dont think the timing is intentional, they must have know the only had up till the end of April to do it!

The planned opening date for the Romantic was a good target date so ...

All the rubble looks very spooky in the dark !

 

[sws97sdg]

All the rubble now being loaded on to a large truck, hopefully they will quickly clear it and shut up the site for the summer!!

And give the Romantic a chance to dust off their furniture ...

 

[sws97sdg]

Indeed! thats the third load being loaded now and the other lorry is back already so it is not being taken away far!

And there are people sitting outside at Romantic. They must be getting covered in dust. Hope they've no drinks on the table

Looking at the palm trees I think the wind is in the right direction, blowing away from the hotel!!

PS, doesn't the beach look stunning again!!

 

[ragdollabbi]

They've gone now.....had enough I bet. And yes the beach does look stunning.....wish I was there right now

Same wish here ...

Had just picked my spot on the beach and was thinking of letting the wind assist me on the way to lunch in Tolo's ...

Looks all quiet on the site now, can anyone confirm what is happening, has the site been cleared and shut down now or is work ongoing?

 

[Sparky]

Because the building has now been demolished and Leo has moved to the Sol Y Mar i have created a new thread and moved some posts from here .

Banners going up on the barriers outside, is that advertising what is going to be built there anyone?

Don't know what the banners are for , but it's already known what's planned. A restaurant with some apartments on top, plus underground parking. There is a Facebook page with it on.

 

[sws97sdg]

Thanks is there, can you say what its called?

Ok found it!!

 

[Sparky]

The FB page is "Edificio El Ancla".

Looks to be rental apartments as apposed to private ones! Very nice, not too high which is good!
