Re: Break In
The only solution I see is to place security bars at the windows and a door grill at the terrace doors. (they are called rejas). Drive through Ayamonte town and you´ll see that all the houses have them. (And they´re not always ugly, rejas can be made up in all sorts of designs.)

Maybe I've been fortunate in the places I've visited, but you don't see these on the north coast in Cantabria and Asturias either. There again the locals claim there isn't any crime - I do know people in the villages often go out with the door unlocked.

But I think that thieves and such do realize that in this area are about 15.000 holiday apartments which are not being occupied over the wintermonths do have a tv set, dvd player, perhaps a sky-decoder and a stereoset inside them........or even beer in the fridge!
