If you have been to Portoviejo or have researched it online, then you will know that there is a hospital called the Solca, a big white building located outside the city between via Crucita and leading to the Paseo Lateral Road, that specialises in cancer and other conditions. The company that built this magnificent building has returned to Portoviejo to create a new housing complex, Fop Furoiani Obras Y Proyectos is the name and they are highly recommended for some of their previous work, designing one-off mansions to people's preference. With their head office being in Guayaquil, they have built many projects, some of which provide a jacuzzi and swimming pool out the back. here is their video of what they are aiming for along with a few images
Following on from a post about why living in Portoviejo is a great place to live I can further back this up by illustrating the problems locals are now and have been facing lately in areas such as Crucita, San Alejo, and pretty much all of the coast, where expats are eager to reside. Unfortunately, most of the roads have recently been wiped out due to adverse weather conditions. On the beach front, some say it was El niño? But it has left some people's houses in tatters, and the big clean up is now beginning, with truck loads of rocks on their way to try to repair the main beach front roads.
Whatever direction you go, it's a short journey to the beach . For me, it's a case of what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
By purchasing a property in this new housing complex in Portoviejo, it will also guarantee you a resident visa, which so many look for these days if they are not going for the retirement stage yet. Simply invest, and once all is completed, the local attorney will have everything sorted for you.
