Re: Cost of living?

I've probably missed it whilst reading this thread but I don't think anyone has mentioned income tax, which is most certainly a lot higher in Spain, especially if you don't have a mortgage or...

Re: Income Tax is much higher than in the UK

Re: British or Spanish Computer??

Hey, no-one will jump down your throat (I hope!) - you're just trying to help, like the rest of us. That sounds good, where is this place and what can you get (for example) at two thirds the price?

Re: British or Spanish Computer??
