Couldn't the bus company see the potential of a bus service from La Mata to a major shopping centre ?
I was also astounded to find there was no direct regular bus service from torre to Zenia Boulevard, why?, it's the major shopping centre for miles around and has no regular bus service from torre.
Love Spain but it's not the most imaginative, enterprising country I've lived in. Anybody have any ideas why ?
I asked Rosa Tours why they don't do a shopping trip to Zena Boulevard once and they said they tried it once a while back, even picking up in Quesada at Consum, and nobody used it so they stopped it.
I couldn't believe it!!!! They had not advertised it anywhere as far as I know and they do send me trips etc now and again to place on this forum and never thought that maybe this vast forum with thousands of members and visitors might be interested in a weekly or even monthly trip to Zenia Boulevard, picking up at stops along the way.
Someone wasn't thinking there either!

Slightly unrelated, but I have asked both Rosa Tours and David's Tours if they would consider doing a pick-up in El Raso. The answer was a resounding "no". Short detour along the Lemon Tree Road, with another additional stop at the Hotel, then Consum and Quesada. Oh well...
