This should be interesting!!!!

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

1) Nothing
2) Nothing
3) Nothing

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

I'm with Fred.

If I hated it I wouldn't have stayed so long.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

People asking negative questions!

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

same here

although the humidity gets to me for a few weeks in summer - hate would be putting it a bit strongly though

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Ok Hate maybe a bit strong, what three things do you dislike, there must be some ........

im looking for possible negatives as my family and i are possiblly moving in aug this year. In our minds there are no negatives so far hence this thread.....................

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

a) I don't live on the costa.

b) When I did I loved it.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Don't really have any dislikes either but if minor irritations will do, I can think of two:

(1) Book spines aren't all printed the same way round so when you're browsing in a bookshop or library you have to keep tilting your head from side to side.

(2) Trousers are always too long and always have to be taken up.



And of course, these aren't specific to the Costa, but general for Spain :)

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

I would ask what do you class as the Costa?

Is it within sight of a beach?
Is it in a town with a beach?
Is it within 5 km of the beach?

Etc.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

I suspect you are asking the wrong audience. Either people won't live there (and therefore won't comment) or they do live there and, unless they are unable to leave because they can't sell their house or don't have enough money to move elsewhere, will obviously say how much they like it ..........because they live there. Try finding someone who no longer lives there and you might then hear some downsides.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

I think of the question slightly differently, poster says "costa", just a general term for the coast, so which costa? CDS we all know, how many of you know the Costa Tropical? Fred of course will as he lives here, but so many costa´s to choose from, Northern Spanish costas are rather different to CDS etc.

Anyway to answer the question, nothing wrong with it. love our costa:thumbsup:

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Only downside when we lived there was the stupid temperatures in the middle of summer, but then there's aircon for that, otherwise none

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Spain has 5,000 km of costa, how can anyone possibly generalise?

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Should be interesting!!!...NOT

Try another forum for all the moaners..:thumbdown:

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

im thinking mainly costa blanca, brava, sol tropical

and say within 5km of beach

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

No.1 'Spanish bureaucracy' - Which Costa? -take your pick
No.2 No zig zag lines at pedestrian crossings -ditto-
No.3 Dog mess on pavements -ditto-

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Although of course it's hotter still inland...

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

We get all this inland too!

This is just going to become another whingeing thread. :frown: Yawn ...

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

That's the real truth, not just the costas, and I suspect your other comments are also true of the rest of Spain..

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

1.Barking mad English Tourists
2.Barking mad German Tourists
3.Barking Dogs :rofl:

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Damned Spanish,swarming in from the big cities and taking over the place at Holiday and Fiesta times. ;)

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

OK I'll play........August traffic, TDT......can't think of a third.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

:rolleyes:

:yawn:

:zzz:

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Non English speakers haranguing the Spanish in English. It happens a lot and gives the English a bad name.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

OK, well the worst things about the Costa Blanca North ..... erm .....

Beautiful national Parks
Excellent walks and cycle path routes
Blue Flag Beaches
Lovely countryside and mountain ranges
Valencia Bio Park, an excellent zoo

I'd better stop there ....... :);)

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

my thoughts as well

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

I didnt whinge :)

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

1) Having to leave to visit UK :D

2) Tourists :thumbdown:

3) Complaints it's to hot in August :lol:

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

There is no reason why the downside of living in Spain isn't mentioned, that's not moaning it's being helpful to the poster.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Yes!!!! Some one gets it - Thank You

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Naked beer bellies on show (any nationality, any gender)
ummm...
That's about it

There is nothing else that I can say that I dislike specifically because I live in a Spanish coastal area.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

surprised somone hasnt raised the problem of not being able to get BBC and ITV on the tele, and when they set up a satellite dish the sats are turned off
:rofl:

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

:lol:
I wonder how many of them voluntarily bought a UK TV licence?

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

But you didn't ask what was the downside of living in Spain, you asked what people hated about living on the coast.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

The use of roundabouts and pedestrian crossings

Tourists, particularly in August.

Siesta, although this is really a Spain thing. I do accept it however, when in Spain .......

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Sand!

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Being spoken to in English... by Romanian waiters.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

You were very good:thumbsup::thumbsup:
:thumbsup::thumbsup:


Sorry I don't

what is negative to some may not be a negative to you. For instance we are not their yet, but before I get there I know that missing my family will be one, but is that relevant, its a foreign country with foreign customs that will have good and bad points. How would knowing what others don't like help you?

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

Mowing the lawn in January.

The smell of the wild parsley in the lawn gets right up my nose and makes me want to head for the airport.

Re: What Do You Hate About Living On The Costa?
 

come to the costa tropical fantastic !!!!!
