The work of Eduardo Blanco Alvarez, artist...

Camp de Mar has been popular with many artists over the years and we often feature their work. So, if anyone is interested in owning an original watercolour of the island restaurant for 200 euros, then pop over to the page of Eduardo Blanco Alvarez on ARTEnet.

Golf club appeals fine for using fresh water

Golf Camp de Mar has applied to appeal the quarter million euro fine it received last year for using water extracted from a well to keep its course lush and green.

The company's lawyer has asked for the judgement to be set aside due to legal obligations the company acquired following its purchase of the course after the previous owner went bankrupt.

According to documents submitted, the company was compelled to honour existing contracts for the supply of water and did not know that one of these suppliers was using a fresh water well.

That contract was terminated as soon as they were informed of the contravention, and new arrangements were made for course irrigation.
