The Urbanisation La Marina

Oh dear, Bill. Clearly you had a rather unedifying experience when viewing prospective properties in La Marina. That's a shame and to be regretted. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I find your generalisations about people who chose to make La Marina their destination of choice personally offensive. As someone who has recently bought a property in La Marina and the holder of a 2:1 honours degree in Political Science, a post grad qualification in finance, professionally qualified chartered accountant and a professionally qualified internal auditor I resent your facile comment about stupidity abounding in La Marina. I hope you'll be happy in your chosen destination and find the intellectual stimulus you seem to have not found in La Marina.

Hi
I think your comments about the locals were rather uncalled for. Yes parts of the urbanisation are unkempt and untidy. ( before anybody shoots me down,, just look at the amount of weeds growing up the side of peoples houses)

As somebody that is well travelled you will find that what you found on the urbanisation, you will find in every other country in the world, even Cornwall !!!!!!

Don't know why you felt compelled to inform us all about your long list of qualifications. You ain't gonna need them on the Urbanisation. However you will probably fit right in with all your self gratification.

Dare I say, if you are basing your judgement of the "type" of people that you have encountered in the last few weeks as being the "window display" of the Urbanizacion you will come away slightly inaccurate view. I say this because there are a lot of tourists here at the moment and, because they are holiday makers, they might not conform to your ideal. Remember that for a considerable portion of the year the place is only occupied by residents and it's character really does change......in my opinion. it's not an unpleasant place to live at all.
Good luck in your chosen spot.
Bob.

I wanted to show you, OP, that your gross generalisation about people on the urb is both unfair and inaccurate. Next time you feel compelled to post such sweeping statements at least be sure of your facts.

I think I am an average immigrant (British, French, German, Swedish,.......) who has chosen to live in la Marina and I am proud to say that this is a nice place to live in. The biggest problem for us immigrants is to learn Spanish but with a mix of languages ​​we can still communicate with most of our neighbors. And we like it.

This is only my opinion of the time, place and people. However this was formulated after spending some time amongst you all both during holiday periods and other times. Again this is my opinion about the degeneration and over development of the Urbanisation formed after close to ten years visiting this area of Spain.
We met many people who sounded like that fellow with all the qualifications, you're all welcome to him that's one less in the UK. No doubt he'll be community president on one of the phase's somewhere, overwhelmed by his own sense of self importance.

So glad that you decided not to spend anymore time in La Marina Urb. You are a gross idiotic knumbskull and wrapped up in your own supposed greatness. Keep your vile judgements to yourself you arse!

You really clasify my opinions and observations as vile? What a Muppet you are, you must have have been one of the cretins I had the misfortune to come across on my travels around your neck of the woods.
I think the rumours were all true that the fall-out from Chernobyl fell mostly over la marina I had suspected this to be so. Just take a wander to the bathroom and look to see what others see, it ain't pretty.

So, you didn't make any friends then?
Better luck in Cornwall!

bill smyth you really are a piece of shite, i have over 20 close friends here on the urb and they are the nicest people i have ever met.
i wonder if you have the guts to come back to la marina one last time and call me all those names to my face!!!

Bill, perhaps you are just a wind-up merchant and are just out to make mischief (the kindest interpretation that can be put on your sad and angry posts about the urb). However, it's worth pointing out that you contradict yourself, thereby invalidating any of the views you've spewed out here. In another post a few months ago you asked for information about La Marina as you're thinking of moving to the area - making it clear that at that time you didn't know it at all, yet in this thread you state that your views are based on ten years' worth of knowledge of the area. Oh dear Bill, a little confused, are you???? Whatever the truth is, I think everyone agrees that it's best you keep your poisonous and ill informed views to yourself and stop knocking the urb. You come across as a sad and angry individual, we don't need your negativity in the urb. Good luck with wherever you end up, I hope you'll be happy elsewhere.

thank you and well said

Ha - That's what you call BUSTED !

So pleased you are not coming here. Do not like moaners, we all came here to escape your sort.
