Re: Reasons why you're staying in Spain
The things I love about Spain,
I can get the British press-
I can watch English and Spanish footie-
I can have steak pie when I feel like-
The weather is better´-
The wife goes out more-
No family within the neighbourhood-
No rat race........
These are just a few things that spring to mind......

Re: Reasons why you're staying in Spain
What difference is the highest Road if you don't live near it. It is starting to look bloody expensive to me with the x/change rate, and I never shop at Brit shops, unless in Gibraltar.Perhaps people in Calahonda don't realise what or where the Sierra Nevada is? 3h 15 max I'd say - could you do that to ski slopes from most points in the UK? And be near a mediterranean climate at the same time?

The thing is though, I need the paper to help with the ins and OUTS of the day. I cannot GO without it.
I am sure all the men out there know what I mean.
The missus (me me) would skin me alive if I took her laptop in there with me.
She will probably go mental when she finds out that I have been telling all about my bathroom habits on this site, but I am not afraid.

Re: Reasons why you're staying in Spain
I'm staying in Spain for now because I like it more than the UK and have a job out here, mainly moved for the weather and how much cheaper it is.

Re: Reasons why you're staying in Spain
Thanks guys for sticking up for me on Page 1. I do understand the vastness of spain. Ive driven through it a few times now. I think i just under quoted with having a bad memory 
Plus I am a self confessed fast driver. On those empty motorways ive hit over 200kph and whacked the cruise control on. Naughty I know, but ah well.
I agree with what I think poshnbucks is saying.
Despite being in Spain you can still get everything you can from the UK. TV, newspapers, food etc. So theres nothing to ever miss, only things to gain with a new spanish influx to your life.

Re: Reasons why you're staying in Spain
Weather is great, been dozing and reading in the sun. Don't forget though we have had about 3 or 4 weeks of cold weather. One day was only 3C in Málaga last week.
