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?

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?

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

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
