The Camposol Residents Association
Although
in being for some years as an ad hoc organisation the Association
formally adopted its constitution as a registered voluntary organisation
in the summer of 2006. It is dedicated to the development and
well being of Camposol in Murcia. This township is now nine years
old and has some 7000 dwellings. It is still under construction
and will not be finished for some years.
The development has a wide range of nationalities, Dutch, Belgium,
Germans, Norwegians, French, and Spanish but is primarily British.
Some 5000 Brits live here permanently with another 2000 owning
holiday homes. This site enables all, but particularly those who
live in the UK to keep in touch.
Living here is a privilege, a broad arid river valley surrounded
by mountains, twenty minutes from the Mediterranean, an hours
drive from Murcia Airport, the cities of Murcia, Cartagena, Lorca,
the resorts of Mazarron and Aguilas. A place which has been settled
from before Roman times, with the oldest boat in the world in
the harbour of Mazarron.
These 5000 have settled here mostly over the past two years, although
some have lived here up to eight years. The past two years has
seen bare villas turned into palaces with magical gardens, over
100 British owned businesses formed and developed. We now have
five restaurants, a dozen bars, including one with a large events
room, with full lighting stage and sound equipment. There is a
large supermarket, taxis, builders, swimming pool constructors
and maintainers, even central heating installers!
We are proud to live here amongst the Spanish, taking part in
Spanish Cultural and Political life, but able to retain our own
identity. Most of us carry Spanish driving licences, have Spanish
Residence cards. We enjoy our visitors, whether they are family
from the UK or holiday makers.
This site consists of editions of the New Camposol Courier, our
monthly newspaper, the minutes of our committee meetings and important
announcements and press releases as well as a contact page for
messages from you.
