Title: Chipmunk Mountain - 1993
Post by: woe10 on April 01, 2014, 23:10:53 PM



As it was before being decimated. I'd like to start an on-line petition to have all the buildings demolished, and the mountain brought back to it's original condition  :o La Frasquita fish restaurant far left of the beach  :P

Our first visit was 2001 and it wasn't that different from this photo then.

I first went to the top in 1993 :D

Now I live up there! If your on-line petition works Woe, I hope I get a nice lot of money in compensation ;) ;D

It wasn't too bad till they went right the way to the top. It looks absolutely awful. It would be great if they knocked those down.

The Lord Mayor that gave the go-ahead, and took the back-handers, should be in jail  :o

I have to say it looks so much nicer without all the development up the mountain, but hopefully when we get round to buying, it will be down in the town.   :D
