Luggage lockers are now available at the marina for those taking boat rides etc. They are located at the end from where the boats leave. Information at https://www.lockandleisure.com/

I have updated the information on page 1 following a tour of inspection on Wednesday 14th May. Only a few changes since last year. I have also deleted some very old posts where the information was either now out of date or irrelevant.

When I search "petrol" on Google maps it lists the nearest locations and the price of Gasolina 95.
Currently BP is €1.86, Repsol €1.84, Galp €1.82, Prio €1.78 and Intermarche €1.67 |

We have just arrived today.
Last time we enquired about the construction opposite the entrance to Orada Apartments on the link road. It's pretty obvious now it is a petrol station but we were told it will be operated by Prio which has become my preferred petrol stop so all good. I have never researched or compared the geographic price differences but the staff here felt if may be a little more expensive that outlying stations but never as expensive as BP. |

We were wondering last night about the market for these properties with prices not far off €1 million. There are several mansions under construction nearby, including two at the other end.

Yes the crane is amazing and all done by remote control!
The land adjacent to the shops is for more villas, one was built about two years ago and a second is near to completion now. More to follow.

Some land is being cleared at the western end of the row of shops near the water feature, for what I could not tell. Also, just around the corner opposite the bus stop, it looks like a petrol station is being built.   |

Thanks for the information, changes made. I wonder what the bloke at the West End Terrace does with all his stuff at night?

Thanks. I will pop down to the marina later and have another look at a time when they are busier.

Cubsur, I think the San Bernadino restaurant is a replacement for The Gazetto not additional to. It only opened in 2019 and seems to have been a covid victim.
I haven't seen the Saad Concept bar open yet, maybe it just opens at night. Another new bar is The Westend Terrace opposite the Spar shop, effectively using the decking of the Spar unit with no actual building to support it, it's taken a while to open. It's owned by the Russian guy who used to run the Scad dive and some kiddies amusements on the spare land right next to the houseboats. He still has the Scad dive which was featured on last year's celebrity coach trip won by Lesley Joseph and Linda Robson, it's now on the road down to Oura Beach.

I have been down to the marina and after a walk around I have updated the information on page 1. There have been many changes even since January. A few new places, a few have closed or look closed. The water feature is no longer working!

The espelho d'água did work for a short while but has been turned off for a very long time now. I will take my big lens down on Wednesday to get some shots of the wells. The restoration job does look nice.

Tom the wells are within the confines of the park area and quite nice to see restored, I will share a video link after we return home.
The espelho d'água will exist, if you look at the different grey colour rectangle of tiles they are surrounded by drains and slightly concave encompassing fountains. It may not be a very deep lake but it might make 150mm if they ever turn the water back on.
