Music

Am i the only person who finds it strange that the Spanish bar down in Oasis had very loud music for three nights last week, two of which were until 3am? And then I read that Cagneys were closed down and fined!

La Marina

I find all this most strange it seems that the Nacional Police in stating that no one in La Marina is allowed to have live music have somehow declared war on La Marina of some kind. Even now telling Cagneys that they can not even have TV or Radio on. So where and when are the political bods going to step in and defend us all. Are they in hiding?

So what value will our holiday homes be shortly if the Nacional Police close down most of the English bars if they dare to try and entertain. Next will be supermarket closures Doctors being laid off and goodness no's what else.

Is some one some where getting back handers I wonder

Another big worry is the many Charities that do such fine work on behalf of us all. Without entertainment nights it will make a big hole in there income. Plus the area is now owing to this national police interference going to become very unpopular with tourists. Plus first casualty's are the Staff at Cagney, where will they find jobs??

But you seem to miss the point the law is still the law whether you or I like it, I would like to think that if all the bars etc work within the law the best will still make a profit and will be able to continue to serve the people of the area within the confines of what is allowed.

2ND Casa it is obvious from your postings that you are very much against entertainment. That is your way of life but you are in the minority. To follow on from your argument and to be totally correct then all bars in the summer months at least are breaking the Law. So it seems with this strange system out here, all would need to close if we follow your thinking and the national police. That is of course not including the two who have full entertainment licenses that operate up to 3.00 in the morning Which will make La Marina a ghost town. By the way it is said that the 2 with full licenses are closing after the summer season because of the knock on effect.

How wrong you are I do like entertainment, but I like to take a balanced view on things and are not swayed by the views of others that are maybe blinkered by there own wants do you not agree that the law is the law how ever much we do not like it, and this debate seems to have made this all the more open as to what is allowed and what is not so people can now have a more informed understanding of what others think.

PS I said all along I was playing devils advocate to try and open up the debate with some facts rather than just peoples understanding of things

Keep reading you going on about have all the bars got a licence makes me wonder why you call yourself 2ndcasa wheres the first sounds like it is else where.

I agree David, it seems as if 2nd Cass does not live on The Urb. If they did they would understand the knock on effect all this will have. For example shops closing, due to lack of people, Lack of Health Facilities, more crime as Police will be reduced due to lack of Suma. La Marina will just become an unkempt area where people will be able to pick up cheap properties.
I am one of the lucky ones I can go between the 2, but so many of my friends are no so lucky.

Took a long walk around Guardamar the other night, I know its peak holiday time but every bar was packed to the hilt and not one had any entertainment except for the few with a tv on showing football and there are several bars on La Marina urb who have no entertainment and seem too do well. If a bar wants to have entertainment they should follow the rules as too what is required of them.

Commented luvmylife in La Marina 2014-08-17 20:23:32 UTC

Sorry, but I understand what you are saying, but bars will not be able to have football, which is very popular, as the Law says no TV,s or radio!!!!!

Commented heather19471 in La Marina 2014-08-17 20:57:28 UTC

Who wants to go to a quiet bar might as well stay at you quiet house and play music there till they stop that as well !!!!!!!!!

So far, this law seems to be just affecting, in the main, Cagneys, but if the Nacional Policia seem intent in stopping music in total in La Marina, it's unfair that places like Benidorm, which comes under Valencian Law, can have bars, blasting music out all day and night, where do they draw the line ?
Does this music ban also mean no more Fiestas in August ?

At least someone can see the reasoning behind the problem just follow the rules that are required of them how hard is that ?

Guardamar is full of apartments and hotels and of course its busy. But don't only take one persons word, also read the local papers about Torrievieha, Guardamar and los Montesinos, having meetings between bar owners, police and councilors (from what I gather to sort out the music problems) also Benidorm. So its not only La Marina, It may well be the European Law from 12 years ago taking affect.
