Vast mansions under slow construction. The gates to the park are once again locked.

More land being cleared.

Bumped into some people playing around with Mercedes latest 'steer by wire' car. Due to go on sale later this year, at some hideous price tag no doubt.

The view from the marina up to sunny Páteo.

The gates to the little park were open last Sunday. First time ever. I don't whether it's by accident after the circus event that took place there over Christmas, or whether permanent. There were some people around. It does look as if the place has been tidied up.

Nearby, work continues on the multi-million Euro mansions. I really don't know what to make of the monolith in the first two pictures. Sorry about the sun, it's in the wrong place.

There are still large areas of basically wasteland, most unappealing for those who have spent €€€€ on luxury living.

The new road towards the marina is not yet finished. Beside it are two very large areas being cleared for more mansions.

Weed strewn wasteland on Sunday 9th November with work continuing to extend the wall and build a road behind it. The little park, never opened, is now looking decidely sad.

The little park is slowly being taken over by weeds. Seems no-one is looking after it.

The extension of the great wall is now visible. There is no longer any access to the marina down that way. On foot, you now have to cross what is becoming a building site to some steps. By road, a very long way around!

What was the market site.

Not sure what is happening here. Maybe just being used a dump. The remains of the entrance to the livestock market can be seen.

More new expensive houses going up here.

The extension of the Great Wall

Above the wall on what has been an empty and neglected area for years.

Behind the Great Wall, work continues on the new mansions. But the extension of the wall itself and associated work seems to have made little progress over the last two months. The park is looking very dry and neglected. Still locked. Somewhat bizarrely, some sprinklers were going in the middle of the day! All this talk about saving water seems not to matter. What's the problem of running the sprinklers at night when the water might do some good?

Still a lot of weeds around.

I wonder what's going on here? I saw no signs or notices.

Good to see the little park getting some use. After the Digital Nomads, a sound stage. I don't know what for and there was no sign, but obviously something that the orgainsers don't want anyone to see without paying!

Elsewhere, building work continues.
