Not a lot of work for anyone, let alone builders.
Also your lorry if it is rhd cannot be transferred to Spanish plates, which you would need to do to be legal.

Thanks for the info !!
Was given the impression that there was quite a bit of work renovating properties in this area !!!
As to the lorry, i do have a left hand drive vehicle that i would use when there though not sure on the procedure to get it replated on to spanish plates.

There was 3 or 4 years ago, but with unemployment at 30% in the Malaga region ( and that is just the ones on the radar ) you will struggle to get any work.

Plus, I would say, with the way that work is (especially for the ex-pats) quite a few people are advertising as 'man with a van'! and are moving bits-n-pieces back to UK.
