Hi John

Osteopath/Physiotherapy

Let me begin by saying that I have no commercial connection with this person I am recommending!

I had a bad problem with my upper back and neck after carrying some heavy stuff up to the apartment. I didnt think I could drive back with this and I went to a local Osteopath.

I realise you asked for a sports physio. but he is also a 'Fisioterapeuta' on his biz-card. So if this isn't for you its a general recommendation.

He fixed me up. And I was very pleased with the work he did. He speaks English if you speak slowly and carefully too. I'm not a fan of Chiropractors(personally) but I have had good results with Osteopaths.

Details:

Rafael Jose Tena Castilla
Calle Granada 18

Tel 651 132 955

Drive past the Plaza and downhill to the outskirts of Ayamonte: Take a left at the Petrol station roundabout: Left at the next turn (following arrow in road): Right at the end. Follow river for a few hundred metres and its on the right.
Regards
Jon

Thanks JDR

Passport only necessary for non-schengen residents. Which most, but not all, of the Brits on this forum are....

Just nit-picking.

However I dont like travelling everywhere with my passport like everytime I get in a car - so thats a shame to have to carry it and risk being pp'd (Here PP means pick pocketed :) )

I didnt realise that the Spanish were stronger that the Brits with the drink-laws and yes I think its best to drink nothing and drive rather than try and guess it. Especially with the controls I saw - which were 'worst' thatn anything Ive seen elsewhere.

Regards
Jon

I have seen that done, but there have been times when only the original has been accepted.

I was told that it was only acceptable if it was an authorised copy, stamped and notarised by a Notary.(By my Gestor)

I gave a Scanned Colour copy of my passport to a new solicitor in our practice only last week, he then told me it was illegal to make Colourcopies
only Black and White.

It depends on the person asking and the reason to smile and give the Spanish shrug to some.
