Anyone stayed at the Hotel Jupiter in Praia Da Rocha,Portugal?
Posted by admin in praia on 12 31st, 2009Going there soon and wondered if I need take a hair dryer or is there one in the room. Searched web sites and cant find an answer so anyone who has been there might know.
This is one of the best sites to see what other punters think of destinations all over the world. I use it every time before I commit to booking a holiday and it has never let me down, yet…

Would this be an example of green living?
Posted by admin in green living on 12 31st, 2009If I were to move to my cabin that I have in the mountains. This cabin is nice and rather remote. It has no plumbing. It is not wired for electricity. It has a wood burning stove and fireplace for cooking and heat. I use lanterns for light. Solar power won’t work because of the tall pine trees that block the sun. I can use a horse to get around instead of a vehicle. Some of my food needs can be taken care of by fishing and hunting. I usually spend about two weeks there every summer. I’m not real sure if I would want to live like that all the time unless I really had to. How would this be for green living? Living in that cabin is almost like going back in time a hundred years or so. How would you like to try that out?
Water comes from a well nearby. The old hand pump type. The outhouse is in back. No bath or shower but there is a lake not far to the west.
A wood burning stove and fireplace is the only option here and the most practical fathead. Consider the remoteness of the cabin.
The outhouse is OK. The water supply is better then most and far better then what you get in the cities. Never use soap in the lake.
You would be living off the land, and being that the cabin is so remote, you would be harming no one. I would love to vacation in a place like that–but don’t think I could do it year-round–particularly not in the winter months.

I have no habitation licence on my property in Spain how do I get one?
Posted by admin in habitation on 12 31st, 2009I have had the property for 2 years and still have no habitation licence I have been told that the plans are at the town hall, is this right. the development is different to the plans, how do I contact the town hall in Benalmadena
Hi, getting a habitation license might be more simple or difficult depending on the year the building was constructed, new or old building, first occupant or latter, urbanized vs rural areas etc.
A solicitor might help, however unless you believe there is some mayor problem with your specific property a gestoría can manage it and for a cheper price do all the bureaucratic requirements for you.
Yes, the documents and plans you need should be in the Town hall – Ayuntamiento or in the Registro de la propiedad.
You must get a licencia de Primera Habitación (if you are the first occupant). Double clicking below takes you to the oficial site of Benalmadenas Townhall. You need patience with their server:
AYUNTAMIENTO DE BENALMADENA –
Avda. Juan Luis Peralta, 20 -
29639 Benalmádena
Spain
Phone: (34) 952579800
Fax: (34) 952579893
e-mail: alcaldia@benalmadena.com

Almost all professionals or private owners get their first ocupation licence through a gestoría since it the easiest and cheapest way to do so. They will ask you for some basic data, names, ownership, ID, etc. And then they will do all the paperwork for you. Doubleclicking link below will take you to a page with all the gestorías of Benalmadena. You can chose a specific gestoria and press telephone, +info, email, contact etc and you can also search in that page for more resources in Benalmadena, Málaga:

Wind Generator: Sustainable Living student project
Posted by admin in green living on 12 31st, 2009
http://www.mum.edu/sustainable_living/ Sustainable Living students at Maharishi University build a wind generator from scratch. The design was largely based on the axial-flux design found on www.otherpower.com Some other helpful sites are www.windstuffnow.com and http://www.scoraigwind.com/.
Maharishi University of Management (MUM) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities. The University is accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.
Founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the University features Consciousness-Based education to develop students’ inner potential. All students and faculty practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which extensive published research has found boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress.
Maharishi University uses the block system in which each student takes one course at a time students report they learn more without the stress of taking 4-5 courses at once.
The University has a strong focus on sustainability and natural health, and serves organic vegetarian meals. The B.S. in Sustainable Living is MUM’s most popular undergraduate major.
