The road from Coín to Alhaurín el Grande via Barranco Blanco is closed for a year due to the improvement work being carried out.
The road from Alhaurín el Grande to Fuengirola is closed for the same length of time and for the same reasons.
Apparently there are plans to close the road from Alhaurín el Grande to Mijas for about a year to also improve it.
Can you believe it! I think it’s time to start advertising your business on this website and let clients know where you are and how they can get to you. www.servicesdirectspain.com

Beware of dodgy printers / printing companies
Someone, who has since apologized, recommended an Argentinean printer called Fernando to me.
He had a shop near the vegetable market on the Cartama road in Alhaurin el Grande.
I ordered 2,000 for sale and for rent signs which he assured me were water resistant and once he had mounted them or whatever he planned to do they would be ready and I would be joining the growing list of his happy customers.
After many, in fact innumerable telephone calls and emails ( the shop had closed down) he finally delivered the signs which I paid for in full. Once subjected to the infrequent rain the aforementioned water proof signs bubbled up and got soaking wet. They looked awful and not something I could ever send to my customers. He had kept half of the signs to continue working on them but once I complained it took me three weeks of ringing to get him to come back with my merchandise.
I am writing to warn any business in the Alhaurin el grande/ Coin area who may come across a jolly Argentinean printer called Fernando driving a Veterinarian pick up truck to beware.

To all Sellers a plea from a frustrated Agent
I had my first serious clients for quite some time a couple of weeks ago.
They had emailed me with specific requirements and had bothered to come to Spain twice in 3 weeks to see the properties that I had chosen for them. They were looking to buy around the Alhaurin el Grande, de la Torre and Mijas area.
In order to have the best properties available I recruited the help of other reputable agents in the area and I feel we did a professional job. Unfortunately to no avail. The clients have not even made an offer although there were lots of favourable noises towards at least three of the twenty four properties they had seen.
On talking to my colleagues, we came to the conclusion that the way properties are priced at the moment and the behaviour of some of the owners is not very conducive to happy sales.
To show someone a property priced at 800,000 € and to be told by the potential buyers that the same property is on someone else’s web page for 600,000 € is a high hurdle to jump over. This practice of giving different prices to different agents is detrimental to the seller as well as the handicapped agents because the buyers will start to doubt everything. Even if the lower price is actually genuine in the end they will very likely change agent and start the whole process again.
To all would be sellers a plea from a frustrated agent. Please make a list of all the agents to whom you have given your property and when you decide to change the selling price please let everybody know without exception. You will benefit in the end I promise you. Piero Repetto www.propertysearchspain.com
