Rambla Closure
- Details
01/04/2020 - 16:00 The gates have been reopened but will close again at 20:00 this evening
Questions have been asked on social media as to why the rambla gates are being kept shut for a long period and why can’t security close them when it starts raining.
Bad weather has been forecast for the last two days in the Murcia region. Although it may not be raining at La Torre it may be raining elsewhere. The ground is currently saturated, so the rain has no place to go other than the rambla. The rambla is fed from the surrounding area including the hills. Rain there will flow down the rambla and very quickly reach La Torre. Security may receive little or no warning of an impending flow of water. By the time it reaches La Torre it may be too dangerous to close the gates.
Possibly due to the coronavirus issues, weather forecasting has been erratic and last week heavier rains occurred that were not forecasted.
We are taking a health and safety stance for the protection of people on LA TORRE to be on the safe side, however the gates are being opened for a few hours and then shut again tonight. If things are OK, they will be open again in the morning and close again later in the day – as more rain is forecasted tomorrow.
DAVID STRINGER - TRIBUTE 26th MARCH
- Details
It is with great sadness that we announce that David Stringer passed away peacefully in Los Arcos on Tuesday March 24th. David died from his ongoing medical conditions and nothing to do with covid19. One of the first residents at La Torre, David spent many many hours dedicated to promoting La Torre and we thank him for all his efforts. We send our deepest sympathies to David's wife Vera.
As no funerals are currently taking place in Spain, Lynette Benford organised a tribute to David. Residents from La Torre, together with many from elsewhere joined together at 11am on 26th March in singing David's favourite song "Fields Of Gold" sung by Eva Cassidy.
Rest in Peace David.
