The Terrazas del Mar Urbanization is a place of coexistence, relaxation and shared enjoyment. In addition, it is a set of properties that it is essential to preserve in the present and for the future.

Making this a reality is everyone’s responsibility and obligation. For that reason, owners and users have the inexcusable obligation to participate and for that reason we have provided ourselves with an Internal Regime Regulation whose fulfillment will undoubtedly help and benefit us.

Do not forget that it is possible that the regulations may be complemented with the agreements reached in the different Government Meetings held by any of the Legal Entities related to the community.

Please read carefully and strive to comply and enforce; remember that we are neighbors, almost a family in which respect, courtesy and commitment to others will be returned to us in the same way and measure in which we have offered it.

Thank you very much for your help!
