The no Doom only positive comment thread
We all seem to be worried about cash/employment here in Spain but although I do not put those thoughts on the back burner I would like to hear your positive things about living here. I know our various locations within Spain vary quiet a lot but maybe some cheer would help those who want to come and live here and weigh up those comments with the sound Economic/Doom gloom advice this forum offers. 
remember you have sunshine.

Great idea for a thread, we could do with some positive thinking. One thing I know for sure is that my health problems diminish after a few days in Spian.

OH used to suffer from gout badly in the UK. Since being here for four years he has never had another attack.

Our children are healthier and happier since moving to Spain. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything in life that matters more than that...

Most of the time !!
Seriously, some people in this Forum are just Gloom Merchants, with nothing better to do.
Well done Posh - I think sometimes you HAVE to remind yourself that Spain is a better place to live than UK, certainly at the moment...
I like a lot of things here... this morning I got up and swam - I couldn't afford a pool in UK nor did the British summer allow me the luxury of sun heated water. Lovely way to start the day !!!

Re: The no Doom only positive comment thread
Hear, hear! That’s why we decided to go to Spain many years ago! We just had to wait quite a while for certain things like the daughters’ educational requirements. The UK has deteriorated beyond belief in that time, but the negatives of the UK were never a part of our decision. It was always the positives of Spain.
Things like the recession are meaningless when you have a positive attitude. A sense of humour is I think the only other requirement.
And a pool of course!

Well, the cost of living is less, the weather nicer, like the poster above says, the aches and pains diminish there, the beaches are nicer, the language is fun, the people more outgoing and friendly, the food better, especially the seafood, the tapas are great, the cafe culture delightful, the work/living balance good, there's more community spirit.
That'll do for starters.

Re: The no Doom only positive comment thread
All right, but apart from the cost of living, the weather, the aches and pains diminishing, the beaches, people being more outgoing and friendly, the food (especially the seafood and the tapas) the cafe culture, the work/living balance, and the community spirit, what have the Spanish ever done for us?
