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.

The bus timetable for Condado De Alhama.

NEW and improved.

CLICK TO ENLARGE and print a copy for your apartment information.

The bus will now leave Condado de Alhama from the Al Kasar parking lot EVERY day at 10AM to take you to different regional destinations daily, Alhama, Cartagena, the port in Mazarron and into the city of Murcia for the market on Thursdays. Take a look at the timetable by clicking on the picture to enlarge it and make a date to take the bus. It is a valuable service and one that I am sure will be popular in the summer months.

Of all the markets in the area I have never been to the Murcia City market on Thursday, it is supposed to be very good and well worth a trip. Cartagena is a well known tourist destination but parking is a little difficult and can be expensive so taking the bus will be a perfect option to discover this wonderful city. The port of Mazarron has way too many good bars to risk driving, so another good option. The bus will actually go the the port of Mazarron twice a week so that you can now enjoy the restaurants and beach without hiring a car during your vacation.

29 degrees today with the pool temperatures at 22 degrees..summer holidays,  just around the corner.

It has been amazing to watch the bars and restaurants adapt throughout the last year to find their place within the community of Condado De Alhama. This week we will feature some of the changes that the different bars and restaurants have made to attract their own crowd. Each venue is offering more than last year and each have grown since last year, they have all made it through their first winter, are more prepared for their second summer and are all excited to see the crowds returning to the square.
