I need help in learning Spanish and I have been told the best way is to take a Spanish lover.
I might settle for a Spanish woman "that does" but a lover would be nicer

Unbelievable!

But are we welcome?
Spain has long been ambivalent about the wealthy foreigners. Rubalcaba, as Minister of the Interior, took away our residence ID cards a few years ago, dooming us to carry (in modern 21st century Europe) a passport and a green police card. Then, they started threatening or even knocking down houses in Southern Spain bought by foreigners in good faith. Now, they are chasing after assets which are held elsewhere, with a value both generated and taxed outside of Spain. What on earth are they trying to tell the foreign residents? Perhaps a small surprise advert in the local foreign-language press would do. Meanwhile, we stay here and live here and invest here because we love Spain and her people.
Do they love us back?

Whilst the guy is indeed new here, he appears on at least one other forum and I'm guessing some know of him from there. He teaches "english and spanish" as he puts it, so perhaps people are assuming his help won't be free. Of course not all new posters are treated as such, maybe just the one's that join to promote their business? Have you mellowed over the years, I don't remember you being so sympathetic in the past?

Reminds me of that old pyramid selling company where people were running round with "Want to lose weight...ask me how" on the side of their cars

No such thing as a free lunch..especially in Spain!

In the time we lived there I think there was a distinct change in attitudes to foreigners. We have some great spanish friends and the neighbours were great. However, get out of your comfort zone to where people don't know you and there is a slight chill in the air

I've heard it put this way: "I've never treated anyone I know like that".

Never felt it myself. People around Málaga were very friendly and welcoming, and in Asturias even more so.

Not so much in Barcelona, but it is a big city. It was certainly more welcoming than London!

If you go around speaking English all the time then maybe so. I've spoken to many Andalucians who are bewildered why the British decide to live in Spain but refuse to do anything Spanish, but away from the Costas, Spaniards really dont know much about British people at all
