I read an article that probably may of you on the Costa Blanca south may have seen as well in the round town news about the vast amounts of illegal properties built in the Cartagena area in a natural reserve which ANSE (Asociacion de Naturalistas del Sureste) have been protesting about and wanting pulled down. Home owners are mainly Brits - they face having their homes pulled down (another one), after being built without the licenses necessary for construction.
I know this seems to be an ongoing tend but I didn't know it was also affecting Cartagena!
I agree, Cartagena is a lovely place to spend the day, personally I wouldn't live there (more like Morocco than Spain!) but there is lots to do, we have been back 4 or 5 times. There is a stunning Spanish restaurant (can't remember the name), does the best steak in Murcia!
