Re: Moving to Bermuda

Re: El Corte Inglés

I love Primark. It's like Christmas shopping every day.
I love El Corte Inglés. The service in the coffee bar is great.
I love Mercadona. My first choice for the weekly shop.

Re: Taking a car off the road for a couple of months

I don't know if you get a discount.
It has to be off the road, it's not allowed anywhere cars in general can circulate even if private, eg carparks etc as it doesn't have to be insured.
