Any one know when the first loads of the new season start coming out ?. When does Mr Stobarts Valencia train service start ?.
Usually around the last week of this month but may be delayed because of all the rain in that part of Spain lately. Usually really kicks off in second half of November
fetched first load of pears out of Lereida 6 weeks ago desination Spallding [GEESTE]
Its just beginning to kick off - although only just, Ive seen a couple of Mazo trucks again this week and a Capitrans. As Vascoingles says it will be another 3 or 4 weeks before it really starts to roll. And lets hope Stobarts train service becomes an unmitigated disaster, Spanish hauliers need all the work they can get and Stobarts train wont help at all.
El Ejido is the fruit/veg capital.It has the most banks per square foot than any other place in europe,the area turns over billions with export to northern europe.Modern day boom town,like the gold rush in the states.

And that (hopefully) will be the downfall of this enterprise. I have yet to load in a packhouse when the stuff is ready when its meant to be.

I always used to park at the Prica (Now Eroski) supermarket opposit Macdonnalds, the only downside of parking there was that the future motorcycle GP stars ragging their mopeds up and down till midnight.

I always feel like I’m in South America with the number of their inhabitants employed as pickers and packers.
Also with the range of South American products stocked in the local supermarkets.
