Re: Monthly costs

Just outside Valencia. I was comparing a 45/50 meal from 2020 that would now cost around 80. I’m not a huge fan of menu del dia but you can still get those for less than 15 per head. We went out for...

Re: Monthly costs

To give you a rough idea based on a 320m house, 2 humans, 1 teen and a pool. Last year:
Electricity 1508
Water 420
Gas 1618 - A note on this, I had a 907 bill in March and then flipped to using...

Re: Best Spanish card for travel perks

I found car hire cover for 100 per year, which is one of the reasons I'm looking around. However, on my last claim they were very efficient.

Re: GIBRALTAR 2024

In 2022 that figure more than doubled. Note: I have no idea how reliable the source is.

Re: Fire in Valencia

It would be hard to deny the cladding played a huge part in this worse. The Tedi store below the apartments was renovated a couple of years ago and appears to be fine.

Re: Movistar/O2

I see Starlink is now down to 40/month or 50 including the equipment. Sounds like a good deal for those living outside of fibre enabled areas.

Re: PG Tips

Taj Mahal. Great place. The big Chinese supermarket next to the train station had some last time I went there and they have a great selection of spices, sauces and veg too.

Re: Social meet-up.

Re: Spain clamping down on scooters

I wish they would ban them on the Valencia Metro too. The fires are only a part of it. Bashed ankles caused by the 'riders' shoving them under seats and blocking the doors are a huge problem.
