"peter's and lee" i'd be your neighbour Big Pete:thumbsup:

Agree with you there Big Pete. Most of the places i have been to in Mallorca are peaceful. I myself dont like the touristy places, and know where to go to get away from them. And as for the Germans being there, i have found that they are slowly dwinderling out of Mallorca, doesnt seem to be as many there the last few times i have been over, and they seem to be selling their properties now.

The Germans are selling because of the change a couple of years ago in the German Tax laws.

Until the change overseas homes and assets weren't taxable, but that has all changed and they are pulling out fast.

The good news is that the Russians and Saudis are moving in, in their place!!

We have brought a place Big Pete. Is Cala Romantica near Porto Cristo?
We have bought in Alcudia. I have been told that the Germans are getting out now as they brought their properties with Black money to get rid of paying Taxes, but now they have to pay taxes on their second homes and so are getting out. Thats what i heard anyway.:blink:
