GYM DOOR
Macosur has completed the installation of the doors in the Social Club/Gym and just need to return to finish off painting once the plaster has had time to dry out properly.

By the way, the swimming pool inspector has visited the community today and Kevan has assisted her in showing her the pools and toilet area in the community. We must await her report regarding the works that are needed to enable us to be issued with the opening license.

Garden areas

This is the plan done by Kevan on the garden areas of our community, to have a better organisation. You will see some references to the areas in the work-sheet that he sends every week.

New door for the gym

This Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th March, Lee Cashin from MACOSUR will be carrying out the work for the installation of the doors in the community Social Club. He expects to have completed the job by Thursday evening.

Lee has Kevan's details and will contact him to arrange opening up and bringing his materials on site.

Lack of electricity...and water

Kevan phoned us today at 9am to report lack of electricity in communal areas and most of private apartments. Inmediately after, we reported that to the electric supplier, and got a complaint number (1966452).

We were almost sure the problem was external, but as the information from the owners was not very clear (some said ther was no electricity at all), we phoned our own electrician, who confirmed arount 9.45 that the problem was external.

We phoned again around 10am, and they gave us another complaint number 1966556

We have kept phoning about each hour, the latest information at 10pm was that they are still working on it, but don't have a clue when they will finish.

And I'm sorry but I can tell you anymore. There are 2 telephones for information, one for private individuals, and another one for companies. The first one is in your electric bill, the second one is 902.516.516, which is the one I am using, where I have got this info.

Bank account

The community of Finca San Antonio has only a bank account. It is in Banco Sabadell. This bank operates with 2 names:

SABADELL-ATLANTICO. These are offices dedicated mainly to businesses and spaniards. Their main colour is blue

SOLBANK. These offices are mainly on the coast of tourist areas, dedicated to foreginers. Their main colour is pink.

We have our account in an office of SABADELL ATLANTICO, in Avenida de Mijas number 2 (29640-Fuengirola).

If you are going there to make a cash payment, or you want to make a transfer, you have to use the following information

BENEFICIARY: COM. PROP. FINCA SAN ANTONIO (no, the account is not in the name of the adminsitrator nor the president. So, any cheque or transfer has to be in favour of the community)

BANK: SABADELL ATLANTICO.
OFFICE: FUENGIROLA, MALAGA, SPAIN
ACCOUNT: 0081.0261.07.0001408443

All bank accounts in Spain have always 20 digits (never 19 nor 21).

If you are sending money from abroad, you need two codes

The first code is called IBAN. It includes a reference to the country and to the bank, and also includes the bank account. This IBAN can have up to 34 digits, but all spanish iban codes have always 24. In our case, it is ES18.0081.0261.0700.0140.8443 (in paper, it is alwasy written like this, in 6 groups of 4 digits each).

The second code is called BIC. It substituted the old SWIFT. It identifies the country, the bank and the branch, not the account. Ours is BSAB ESBB
