The Major of Alhama De Murcia holding the Plan for the Paramount office to open in May

La Verdad announced in March that the new Paramount office was to be located in the Poligono Alhama De Murcia and would be open in May for the selection of workers to begin. We went looking for the office and sure enough…

The New offices of Paramount Murcia

The selection of workers for the construction phase is under way and the office is open for business. Residents of Alhama De Murcia will be given preference in selection, opening the opportunity door second to Murcia residents and finally to the whole of Spain. The jobs most sought after are catering, entertainment, customer service and maintenance.

Applicants should or would be preferred to have a second language of either English or French.

So Condado, if you are looking for work, you have the English and now you have an incentive to brush up on your Spanish if you haven’t perfected it already.

Exciting times!

Paramount Alhama De Murcia this week received it´s final full approval from the Alhama Council to commence with construction.

Jesus Samper, still see´s the opening of the park to be in 2015. He remains confident that he can meet this deadline despite the delayed start.

Flagship Projects (Premursa) has assured also in local newspapers and television that investors have already given the ‘yes’ to provide capital to the theme park in Alhama.

It has been announced that next week Premursa will meet with the four developers who have shown, in writing, their interest in performing the works (Dragados, OHL, FCC and Ferrovial), which will be given until June 30th to submit their deals. “We have set July 15th to determine the winner of the development works” so that said, work could begin in late August or early September. Samper explained that the works are divided into three parts: the special plan of infrastructure and access, ground movement and urbanization LifeStyle Center and finally, the development, implementation and earthmoving for what will be the Paramount Park.

The design of the entire Paramount Park is now 95 percent complete, in fact Jesus Samper explained that “for ten days I was in Los Angeles where I did a virtual tour of what will be the park “.

The American company Paramount love Alhama De Murcia, comparing it to California and said that, in some respects Alhama is even better. With the mountains and the sea in close proximity, the topography and the climate is very similar also.

Will Alhama De Murcia be Spain´s California in just a few years?

We will have to wait and see as the development of hotels, casinos and the Paramount theme park begin to take shape at the bottom of the Carrascoy mountain later this year.

Last night Big G´s American Diner on Condado De Alhama opened their doors and fired up the ovens for the very first time for a special private birthday party, although not officially open yet they did a fantastic job.

The golf course at Condado De Alhama is getting increasingly busy as word gets out about the great course here on the resort. There are not many days now where a coach does not arrive full of golfers for the day. What a difference a year makes.

All 6 sister Jack Nicklaus golf courses are under the management of resort owners IRM who are doing a wonderful job promoting the courses. You can now book your Tee time online, this is advisable. This week a few regular golfers on Condado De Alhama who came for the Easter found that they could not play as the course was fully booked so it is advisable to book in advance just to avoid disappointment.

The course looks good, Lauren and Iain from Penthouse 16 took a walk out after hours yesterday to inspect the lakes for us, its a rotten job but someone has to do it. It was a beautiful day today, perfect for golf, 24 degrees, low winds and full sun.

Thumbs up, the lakes at 9th/18th & 10th/11th

Easter temperatures are perfect for getting out and about and visiting some of the local attractions. This week, we headed off to Elche to check out Rio Safari to see what it had to offer. It takes about an hour to drive to the park from Condado De Alhama but it was an hour well spent. The park had a great friendly atmosphere about it with an elephant show, sea-lion show and exotic bird presentation. The staff at the park did a great job presenting the displays in English and Spanish.

all the animal shows were timed so that you could go easily between them and enjoy them all within your day.

They also offer a trip around the park on the safari train where they open the gates and take you into the enclosures for a more up close encounter.

My photo opportunity with the sea-lion

Plenty of opportunities to have your picture taken with the staff and animals, and if the weather is warm enough or if you have seal like skin, you can arrange to swim with them.

There is a small restaurant for your lunch or a cold beer or if you prefer you are welcome to take a picnic. Nuts are on sale to feed the animals as you go around, the monkeys will really entertain you for a peanut and the giraffe will take it softly from your hand.

Rio Safari Elche, was a small but extremely friendly and entertaining park. Take a trip out, I am sure you will enjoy your day.
