Useful Web Sites
In the course of developing a web site, I’ve stumbled across a number of sites aimed at British expats, covering Spain or focussing on an area or town, which have been very useful in terms of providing ideas and information. I thought it might be useful to have one thread which provided a resource for people who are thinking of visiting Spain or purchasing a place and/or moving out, and want to see whats available. Here’s a few to start with.
What other ones have you found? Paul PS I did try and do a search in this forum on “www� but its one of the terms which is excluded because of the volume of hits it would generate.

No Costa Azahar & North Costa Blanca is where we live but I think I've exhausted all the sites now. Wherever you live however, there is always some topic of interest and you learn as you go along. Things that happened to us wouldn't be found on a forum anyway. Lets just say beware of so called friends!!! |
Re: Useful Web Sites
andalucia.com has some interesting info and discussion.
|
Re: Useful Web Sites
oh, sorry to hear that nnbrnt, sounds like you have a cautionary tale to tell :( .
Hope what ever happened has sorted itself out for you now. |
Re: Useful Web Sites
I run my own site concentrating on the Costa Blanca. It's fairly new but growing fast and has useful articles on Spain in general and not just the Costa Blanca.
If anyone in my area would like to help by adding content i.e. restaurant tips or useful tips for your town, I would love to hear from you. http://www.costablancauncovered.com Regards Mark |
