Re: Spanish Electrician or English Confused

Re: Sinking Ship?

At this moment in time, I have more Spanish clients than British clients.

There's a mixture of reasons though.

I'm a British tradesman who lives in Granada province. Interestingly, most of my clients in the last twelve months have been Spanish. Speaking the language is a great help with that of course. Word...

Re: WOODEN FRENCH DOORS MALAGA AREA

Look in your local Paginas Amarillas for any companies featuring "Maderas". Local newspapers will often have adverts for locally based companies also.
