What are we short of?

A lady asked me what Mojacar is short of, I said everything. I am now revising that answer and saying a good transport system to get you to the surrounding town, airports, hospitals etc. We only have a local bus that runs along the sea front and occasionally into the next town, one needs a car if living here. We don't pay to park anywhere and I mean anywhere, yellow lines, double parking, peoples driveways and no one takes any notice of the parking lines this morning for instance a 4x4 was parked horizontal across 3 parking bays. Oh the joys of living here.
If we need specialist equipment we have to venture either into Almeria or up north to Murcia, that incurs delivery costs if too big to go in the car.
So what do we really need here, some honest workmen (wonder if Dominic Littlewood has thought to do a programme here in Spain - Cowboy job persons (notice I say persons not men). Ex Pats tend to put letters after their names claiming to belong to all sorts of institutions that you can never find on the internet. My philosophy if you want something doing ask a Spanard but be careful there are some rogue Spaniards.
So along with a few good and decent shops-computer, health and beauty, clothes for the average person not skinny lizzies, handicraft  and a shoe shop that sells shoes that one can walk in on Mojacars pavements and roads I think I could be well satisfied, but then again what we haven't got at present saves me money.
