Comer de Pollena

My Spanish is pretty poor but is this suggesting a tunnel be built between Pollensa and somewhere and that a tram service be established between pollensa, Cala and the port

Also is this just an idea or does it have any substance?
 
Ahhhh that explains it ha ha

Pity, a tram of the sort pictured running from one end of the Port to the other would be an enhancement to the area. If done properly....

Read this in the Majorca Daily Bulletin.



British expatriates face shock taxes on homes in Spain.


British owners of homes in Spain may be hit with retrospective tax bills if the authorities decide they paid too little for their property.
The Spanish government is re-examining the sale of tens of thousands of homes that have taken place over the last four years.
The Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP) is Spain’s equivalent of Stamp Duty, and applies only to the resale of houses: new-builds are exempt. It amounts to a percentage of the value of the house, which from region to region but averages around eight percent.
Now, though, the tax authorities are suspicious that some properties may deliberately have been sold at less than the going rate - and plan to recoup the tax they believe they have missed.

Several owners in our community have already been charged an extra tax because of this.

Late yesterday afternoon there was a helicopter flying around and the sound of sirens, we both wondered what it was all about, it seems this was the reason :-

Avui horabaixa la carretera que du fins a Formentor ha estat tancada a la circulació degut a un camió que ha quedat entravessat a una corba mentre baixava des de Formentor.
El tancament ha durat des de les 18:00 hores fins a les 20.30 hores fins que una grua ha pogut treure al camió de la voravia i aquest a pogut continuar el seu camí. La policia local i la guàrdia civil de trànsit han tancat l'accés a la carretera de Formentor mentre es duia terme les feines per treure el camió.
Ara la circulació ja esta oberta.
Yesterday afternoon the road that leads up to Formentor has been closed to traffic due to a truck that has been entravessat to a curve while descending from Formentor.

The closure has lasted from 18: 00 until 20: 30 hours until a crane was unable to remove the truck from the Mount Pelée/Saint and this could continue on its way. The local police and the civil guard traffic has closed the access to the road from Formentor while performing the work to remove the truck.
Now the movement is already open.

Hi Sparks, now you know my warped sense of humour, but I can't resist. Having read the last paragraph of the translation, I can't help but wonder if the news of the truck has been mixed up with you having some sort of bowel problem.:)

Love you all !!
