I don't post on here much but just wondered how far the man with the digger has got...
Long way to go looking at the plans for the land for sale on this website. He'll need a couple of skips at least. http://pt.meravista.com/en/property-albufeira-algarve-portugal/land-marina-de-albufeira-121002 |

Jeeezzz, nearly ten million euro for 6500 sq metres of land!?!
I get, from the plans, that this would or could be prime real estate, but that's on plans, in reality? I guess the empty units at the Marina wouldn't be empty for very long if this actually happened but just look back towards old town from this spot... Someone thought that would happen but it didn't. How many years is it that this half completed development was abandoned? |

we thought the same about the one half way up santa eulalia, behind bus stop ... but that will soon be the SANTA EULALIA PRAIA hotel... with current and projected booking levels, it is certainly possible ... at the marina, FARM village must be almost open too ... the little development just up from escalators is also being finished .. another new build at quinta do infante ... plus the moves on Oceanville ... it is all go for Albufeira 2016.

Sure would but make sure it's legal. I did see some electricity company people surveying power lines with one, but no doubt here a vast array of permnissions would be needed.
The marina 2nd phase build was half started then abandoned around 6 years ago, the Farm Village place down there has been moribund for about the same amount of time. One thing I noticed about the marina build was how quickly subsidence has affected the roads and drains that were built. I hope someone has done their homework or any apartments etc built there are going to be affected by the same problem. |

A few pictures around the abandoned site taken yesterday afternoon. The weather was a gloomy as it looks! There are still plenty of paving blocks and pre-cast manholes to be had if you want them.

When we were over last month there were tipper trucks dumping a lot of earth on the site behind the concrete wall at the far end of the Marina.
I thought this area was going to be built on and normally you'd dig out for new builds not fill it up. |

Yes I spotted that and elsewhere nearby. Looks like a lot of the area is just being used a dump for spoil, legally or otherwise who knows?
The plans I remember show there should be big holes there filled with water.

On Wednesday afternoon there was some minor work taking palce. Mostly I saw a load of blokes busy doing a lot of not very much . It looks like some land is being levelled off and there are big trenches across the site being dug for drains etc.
A new straighter road is being laid to come up from the marina to the road that goes past on the other side by the sailing and fishing club. |
