Can you help trace a beneficiary ?

Posted on by Admin
I am seeking the help of anyone who has lived on our urbanisation for many years and who may have known the owner of house number 1773, which is almost opposite the Chinese restaurant. The name we have on record is Anton A de Tollenaere and I believe he was Belgian and died between 18 months and 2 years ago. The problem we have is that we know of no next of kin and, as far as we know, no-one has visited the house in the many months since his death. During this time we have had to have the patio cleared of dead or dying plants, and grass and weeds growing between tiles, the cost of this has been placed as a debt on the property which is now large and mounting. This property is in urgent need of attention and, in addition, a car is abandoned outside. The probability is the car is uninsured and will have no ITV and probably SUMA has not been paid. The reason for writing this is to ask any owner who may have knowledge of Mr Torrenaere’s family, next of kin, friend, in fact anyone who may help to trace a beneficiary, to let our administrator or me know. The house is in a prominent position and I don’t want to see this property deteriorate any further and the car is looking the worse for wear, with a flat tyre and I am receiving complaints.

Nativity scene in Torrevieja

Posted on by Admin
Every year, after the celebration of the floral tribute to the Patron of the city of Torrevieja, Purisima Inmaculada Concepcion, the municipal Nativity Scene is opened in the church square which is opposite the main building of the Town hall. The nativity scene is set on 220m2 in the church square and includes around 900 figures of which many of them are representations of Torrevieja, such as the Torre del Moro, the Eras del Sal salt loading deck and the windmill of the Calvario square. A must for visitors to the area, the municipal nativity scene should be put in everyone’s diary for at least one visit. Different stands selling typical Christmas products like chestnuts, nuts, dried fruits and toys are also set in the surrounds of this fantastic nativity scene. There will be a large Christmas tree which will light up the square with it’s colourful lights and decoration.
Furthermore there is always a celebration outside the nearby church to see the New year in and to take part people need to eat one grape each time the clock strikes at midnight.

Did you know ? Beléns are elaborate nativity scenes – Belén is the Spanish word for Bethlehem. More than just a stable with animals and figurines, the Spanish beléns can be huge scenes, read more
