Hi

It is because other places in Spain were so densely populated that I moved here !!!

They chose to come here for the good life. Bless them.

4 million people (Spanish, Moroccans, Romanians, Ecuadorians etc) ended up living in Madrid. Can they all be wrong too ? Of course if you're looking for sun sea and sand, then you're going to head to the coast. Some of us prefer the interior, or are seeking work (ie Madrid or Barcelona) but I can't see this changing most British expats, who, let's be honest, are in Spain to be near the coast. Good luck to them, but don't forget the sun block.

I suppose we have the best of both worlds - in the campo - with a cess-pit , near a village with just a small number of ex-pats, 40 minutes from the coast for any visitors that are so inclined - only been a handful of times in 6 years ourselves, and one hour away from both Malaga & Granada airports.

Nope - it's protected national park area so i very much doubt it

(Last year, there was the threat of a quarry in the mountain behind our house - that soon got sent packing !!!!!)
