The weeds grow higher. The first though are part of the Albufeira council's policy of encouraging the growth of natural plants along the roadside pavements.

This giant palm tree is prone to attack passers-by.

You cannot see it here,but this pool is full to the top.

Another few weeks on. The weeds are happily growing thanks to the recent rains.

It is nearly a year since the repair works were completed and when we understood that sales would begin. Since then, nothing. Meanwhile, yesterday, all was quiet. Some of the large properties around the back are occupied. Click to see a larger picture.

The townhouses around the back are mostly now occupied but around them is a wasteland still.

There has been some major vegetation clearance around the blocks that were not refurbished. But weeds continue to take over around those that were. And that tree that attacks me every time I walk past needs to be dealt with!

Sunday 5th October not much happening and the weeds starting to take over.

And here we are in August, no progress. The refurbished blocks remain unoccupied. Id did spot a couple workmen's vans elsewhere on site. Weeds are taking over again. The townhouses seem to be mostly sold. One is obviously a tourist let as I saw a group of five English blokes emerging for their day, at 3.30pm! The refurbished part of the site has a security guard with an angry dog. Don't be tempted as I was. Thumbnails below, click or tap see a larger size.

  





 
  


 

I spotted some goings on at the weekend. Looks like a new build near the €800,000+ townhouses, all of which now seem to be occupied. The rest of that side is still derelict and there is no sign of activity among the recently refurbished blocks.

Little sign of life at Oceanville on Sunday. I did spot a painter working during the week. The weeds are growing again.
