La Marina is a coastal district of San Fulgencio. It's actually a massive urbanisation built from scratch from the 1980s and 90s onwards, with about fifteen thousand homes and a very distinct identity. Mostly bungalows and terraced villas on flat, pine-covered land, sold in their day to northern European owners, primarily British, Dutch, and Belgian. Its population density increases four or fivefold in high season compared to winter. For a home services technician, working in La Marina means understanding two very specific peculiarities. The first is the pine forest; the pines systematically planted on each plot have roots that have been seeking water for thirty years. Where they find garden hoses or small leaks, they turn them into serious problems. We've seen roots penetrate septic tank walls and entire pumping systems fail due to roots wrapped around the pump. The second is the age of the installations; most homes are from the 90s. The original electric water heaters, boilers, and accumulators are nearing the end of their service life.
