Spanniversary!!!
 
they have a whole section in the Canada forum called 'Canniversary!', so I thought we could at least have a thread:D


our Spanniversary was last Friday 7th November


we've now lived here 5 years!!

my younger dd has lived in Spain for more than half her life


what about you?

when is your Spanniversary, and how many years will it be?

my OH hasn't had as many as me & my girls either!

for the first 3 years or so he was away as much as here, so I suppose he's almost at his second Spanniversary now (about next March I think)

and it looks like he's going to have to start bouncing around again, so he may not even get to the second one!

Been there 7-8-9 times or more , since 2003 , about ;
Costa Brava , Barcelona , Girona , Figueres all around , Costa del Sol , Malaga - Nerja to Mijas , Marbella-Puerto Banus and to Gibraltar and back ;
couldn't psyche myself into liking anything about any of the overbuilt , raped places ,
( except for , maybe : Cadaques ? ) ;
so , that's about that , for now ,
unless there were better financial incentives involved , anyway ,
Cheers
