-Quara Group update :-As you are aware Villamartin Golf Course opened last week.Currently they have an average number of players everyday (100 - 130), of course this is due to the amount of members from our 3 golf courses that are enjoying Villamartin, as Las Ramblas and La Finca are still not opened.

Las Ramblas and La Finca are still processing maintenance jobs, especially at La Finca where we are developing dramatic changes that are going to improve the quality of the experience.

Villamartin has reopened in the best conditions ever remembered since 1991. This 2 months of closure and the weather conditions of the spring has affected so much in benefit of the golfing experience. Add to this that bunkers has been renewed and that the over crowding on the course that we use to suffer in high season is not at all now.
So the golf experience is so good in layout of 50 years of history on trees and shape in general.
