The size of the place we get is not as important as it would be in the UK as we will not be living in it all that much. Think I get where she is coming from with the sun terrace etc and got to wondering how much of the day is spent in your property and is she right. We have no kids so a two bedroom would probably do but I cannot get away from the idea of not having a third bedroom (computer room )

Thanks

The truth of the matter is that you do spend alot of time outdoors. Well, except for July and August, where if you're not at the beach or splashing in a pool, the only thing you want to do is be in air-con surroundings.

When we told our neighbour we were moving to Spain she said "well that will suit you as you live outside and they do that in Spain" We are outside during the warm weather as much as possible until late at night

Well we've only been here since October, but evrn in October and December we were spending a lot of time outside, eating and sitting watching the sunsets.

I'm guessing as it gets progressively warmer we will spend more and more time outside. Even in July and August we will have the pool to cool us down, and I'm wanting to build an outside kitchen somewhere.

I think your missus is right .... we certainly have a slightly smaller home internally than we did in the UK.

we went back to eating lunch on or open sun terrace today, first time since November, ahve been sitting on the closed terrace rest of the time, we decided because it has been so much warmer.

we are still indoors with the heating full whack!

We are in the mountains so the temperature is cooler and weather more changeable, but even so there are very few days when we can't sit outside for at least an hour or two (apart from midsummer when it is too hot).

Having said that, our house is the same size as our English one, but it just happened that way, we didn't plan it. I think a couple could manage with a two-bed easily so long as there is outside space.

Smarty a huge patio is great.. but it can get windy so some blinds to keep out the worst of it can be vital, especially on the Costa de la Luz when the Levante blows. I would ge the third bedroom for the winter though...

Well after living here or 12 years I really feel the cold. We have the heating on either gas or wood fire from around 5pm!

Personally I would go for the extra room if you can afford it. Its always usefull.

And you know what as women say about size!!!

Lionda

Ohh Rixxy...size is Sooooo important

Mitzyboy

Nah .... quality

Lionda
