British language radio around Granada region
Moving in a few weeks to the Granada region and I am more of a radio listener than tv watcher, had a look on the net for local British language radio within the area but could only find ones that cover as far up as Nerja.
Can anyone suggest radio stations within the area and their frequencies please, more mature music the better, it at least has a rythum and some lyrics
but hayho anything is better than tv.

Re: British language radio around Granada region
Hi
I would be interested to see the replies to this one. We have the radio on most of the day (when we are in Spain) and have not yet managed to pick up a British station.
If we drive towards the coast down the A92 we pick up a variety of brit. coastal channels, but not for very long.

but hayho anything is better than tv.Reciva.com is a good website to connect to - for radio stations all over the world.
Get yourself a wifi internet radio and connect in - its great - I use it to listen to the Beeb etc and there is a listen again facility which is very useful.
However, check on the Reciva site forums for comments on this.
All the best for your move

Re: British language radio around Granada region
Many thanks for the replies, not many on normal radio I guess, Will have to learn to stay in one room to listen to the radio.
Will have to hunker down and get to grips with my Spanish, so at least I will have an idea what they are on about between the music.

A wifi internet radio can be moved around the house - Roberts do a portable one....
RNE (the spanish national radio stations play great blues/jazz/classical etc depending on station you choose i.e. RNE1,2,3,4 - great too for tuning your ear into Spanish!

You don't say that you are not having tv, just that you prefer radio. If you are having a tv it will probably be via a satellite dish for English channels? We get loads of UK radio stations through our satellite service in the Altiplano region of Granada.

Also don't know how good your internet connection is/will be, but it's not always an affordable option
for those in the wilds to be looking at (or should that be listening to!) using your pc or laptop as a substitute radio!
