[quote=ocrenter][quote=earlyretirement]Anyone else notice they had to change the name of this development from Miraval to Maricel because someone else had the name trademarked?

You would have thought they would have checked before naming the development. Oh well…[/quote]

Oops…

Is there a trade mark search engine? Just wondering… And does miraval mean anything? In Spanish? Italian?[/quote]

From one of the records:
“MIRAVAL” is a colloquial contraction of the Spanish translation of “VALLEY VIEW”.
