Another Bazaar?

Wondered if anyone knew what the new big building near Mercadona at Atalaya Park is going to be. I have heard rumours its going to be (yet another) Chinese Bazaar?

Benijofar

Yes, the sign has gone up and it is ANOTHER chinese bazaar....gonna feel like we are in China soon and not Spain with the number of bazaars and woks popping up everywhere....

Hi - for those who feel so strongly about so many bazzars (including me) maybe its time to get political and badger the "powers that be" so as to insist upon a variety of retail outlets, but then again im not sure how spanish law works in terms of this, so maybe its a case of so long as you can afford the rent you can sell whatever you like ? Dont get me wrong I think the Bazzars are very useful and do serve a purpose, but its getting absolutley ridiculous now !

From what I understand there are ´tax breaks´ offered to the chinese people who open woks or bazaars? Maybe this is why there are so many! But I agree WHY do we need another one - most of the stuff you buy there doesnt last long although you can find pretty much everything you need! They are becoming a blot on the landscape now though especially when they are SO big - I feel sorry for the residents of Atalaya Park having to now look out at that monstrosity - at least Mercadona was built slightly to the side of the plot of land!

The sign that has gone up on the big building now says Merca Benijofar - I did see something in one of the papers a while ago advertising for stallholders for a new indoor market in Benijofar. Perhaps it is not a bazaar after all but maybe an indoor market?

Commented Benijofar Life in Benijofar 2011-05-12 10:11:32 UTC

Well I for one would prefer it to be the indoor market than yet another bazaar....

Commented Richard in Quesada 2011-05-13 17:16:27 UTC

It looked like a bazaar to me when we drove past today ! Lots of boxes being unpacked with the usual stuff that they sell....

Charges made for paying by debit/credit card

On the 30 March 2011 Which? issued a surcharge super complaint to the Office of Fair Trading over the fees retailers charge consumers for paying by credit or debit card. Low cost airlines are among the worst offenders. They asked for upfront costs, fair charges and for retailers to absorb the cost of the fee to process a debit card payment.

To show your support please add your name to their pledge. Why not ask your friends and family to do the same? The more support they have, the stronger their case.

Pledge your support at www.which.co.uk/campaigns


I have pledged my support to this also - the charges made by some of the airlines are ridiculous and something should be done about it. There is no way that the charges they make are what they pay to the credit card companies, its just another way of making more money and make cheap flights become expensive.

Commented Richard in Quesada 2011-05-04 08:24:09 UTC

Have just seen this post - I noticed when checking the Ryanair website yesterday for some flights that they are also now charging delay/cancel levy of £2!!!! Yet more fees added to the final price....

Commented Bev Manson in Benijofar 2011-05-14 09:24:16 UTC

I agree - and if you are taking luggage with Ryanair they charge ridiculous amounts. Beware with hand luggage too as they check this now - we travelled the other week and one of ours was a little too wide to fit in the baggage checker but they wouldnt let us swap anything over to the other cases even though 2 of them were half empty....they wouldnt even let us move the clothes around as there was room at the top of the bag (one of the kids had packed it herself and packed it wide rather than spreading it around and we didnt notice)....cost us €35 to check it in - i try not to fly with them now if i can help it.

Fratellis

We had a lovely meal at Fratellis Italian on the square in Benijofar last night. Set menu for around €12 which was starter, main and dessert plus coffee and a drink. Was very busy and nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Look on the cam bank website, they do rent to buy in all your requested areas. If you decide to buy the property after 2 years then 100% of the rent paid over the 24 months comes off the sale price.

Restaurants In Benijofar

I am looking for a really nice restaurant to take my mum out for a meal - it is her birthday when she comes over in a couple of weeks - I dont want somewhere with loud music and fast food or a chinese! Would prefer somewhere in Benijofar or Benimar as we can walk there. Thought about Lets Eat but have been there before with her and wanted somewhere that we havent tried. Any ideas?

Benijofar

There is a new one called Auberge on the main street of Benijofar (in the little precinct near the pizza place) - dont know what its like but it looks nice and also El Gusto which is always lovely food and great service. For Italian, there is Fratellis on the square - nice to sit outside there....
