The Camposol Residents Association
Although in being for some years as an ad hoc organisation the Association formally adopted its constitution as a registered voluntary organisation in the summer of 2006. It is dedicated to the development and well being of Camposol in Murcia. This township is now nine years old and has some 7000 dwellings. It is still under construction and will not be finished for some years.
The development has a wide range of nationalities, Dutch, Belgium, Germans, Norwegians, French, and Spanish but is primarily British. Some 5000 Brits live here permanently with another 2000 owning holiday homes. This site enables all, but particularly those who live in the UK to keep in touch.
Living here is a privilege, a broad arid river valley surrounded by mountains, twenty minutes from the Mediterranean, an hours drive from Murcia Airport, the cities of Murcia, Cartagena, Lorca, the resorts of Mazarron and Aguilas. A place which has been settled from before Roman times, with the oldest boat in the world in the harbour of Mazarron.
These 5000 have settled here mostly over the past two years, although some have lived here up to eight years. The past two years has seen bare villas turned into palaces with magical gardens, over 100 British owned businesses formed and developed. We now have five restaurants, a dozen bars, including one with a large events room, with full lighting stage and sound equipment. There is a large supermarket, taxis, builders, swimming pool constructors and maintainers, even central heating installers!
We are proud to live here amongst the Spanish, taking part in Spanish Cultural and Political life, but able to retain our own identity. Most of us carry Spanish driving licences, have Spanish Residence cards. We enjoy our visitors, whether they are family from the UK or holiday makers.
This site consists of editions of the New Camposol Courier, our monthly newspaper, the minutes of our committee meetings and important announcements and press releases as well as a contact page for messages from you.
