In fact the Lidls road just off the roundabout was backed up to the roundabout the other day and the traffic was creeping along and at the same time the police were having to direct the traffic in the high street just inside the arches as the parked cars were making it difficult for traffic to flow both ways and police were stopping the traffic one way intermittently to keep it flowing -If the police had not done this it would have been gridlock and this was October!

Now the planners have allowed a Mas Y Mas supermarket with underground car park in this area. That car park will obviously only be for the supermarket and imagine the grid lock then!!
Quesada town is quite small and already has a Gamma supermarket and now a Lidls which seemed good enough...who decided it needed another big store like Mas y Mas?

Be fair, it IS Spain.

After being in UK recently and taking nearly half an hour to get out of an Asda car park and then stuck in a traffic jam on the M4 for another half hour then I'm pretty glad it is Spain.
