Re: Spain's insolvent - get your money out!

I opened a 'free to use' account with Bancaja just over 2 years ago, they were subsumed by Bankia.

Last month we had a letter to tell us they were now going to apply charges to that account. So...

Re: Spain's insolvent - get your money out!

I closed an account I started with Bancaja a couple of years ago last week, I only used it because of the low fees for the type of account we had. As you know it morphed into Bankia and they're...

Re: Ex-pats and money in Cyprus banks

The Cypriot Parliament voted it down so no levy, for the time being anyway.

Too late, too late. The damage has been done. Who is going to leave their hard earned (taxed already) money lying in a...

Re: Indicator lights & ITV - techie question.

Re: La Caixa Bank

Sabadel/Solbank have an account called 'Expansion account'. If you have at least one pension paid into it you can get a 7% discount on all your direct debits. No charges to it that I can see.

If the children are young they will probably pick up Valenciano and Castellano quite quickly anyway, they'll be translating for you in no time. The schools do expect them to speak the language, they...

We are only 10 minutes from Xativa as well, the area is much greener than the Alicante end of the Province, you will have the usual sort of meeting places to find friends etc. Many good little bars...
