Orihuela Costa is not a city but a mosaic of urbanisations spread along fifteen kilometres of coastline. For a British owner who has just bought a villa in La Zenia, finding a plumber who understands their community's pressure system can take months. For someone with a house in Las Filipinas with a private pool, finding an electrician who understands how the pool pump control panel is wired is a separate odyssey. Territorial fragmentation works against homeowners. There isn't a main street here with all the professionals. Each urbanisation has its own technical peculiarities that are only learned by working on them. Handyman General\\ \\ Small repairs, assembly, general maintenance.
