The tourist numbers have increased every year to Spain since about 2010 and more in the last few years with turmoil in Turkey and other places, i seen this morning on TV that tourists were returning to Tunisia. I am guessing they can make prediction by flight sales in advance for next summer as all ...

Thanks lots of useful info in there...

Sid,
Can i ask what is meant by two tax jurisdictions?
I considered making a move to Spain last year but ruled it out as i thought i be screwed either way, if i sold be taxed on the money and if i kept i be taxed on the asset, i did not hear of the two tax thing...

I know a few people in a similar situation and the general consensus is if you have substantial income stay non-resident.
Because Spain enconomy much lower level than US the income/assets threshold lower and you will basically be screwed...

Patricia, I was thinking more that you keep the group intact, collect the money and just pass money on to travel agent who will give you the tickets and you just pass on to each individuals involved, it is likely the group fall apart as people will not bother going to the agent and you end up with h...

I would suggest if you worried about liability that you go to travel agent who do regular daily excursions and ask them to set-up the trip. I have only done one as really not my thing, i remember it was only something like €10 pp for day trip and you buy the tickets from travel agent so your out of ...

Manchester, i have to say i totally agree with you on this one... As for your football club i am thinking there are a few letters that make a word similar to a persons rear end, i assume a combination of letters automatically trigger "beep" I have often being "beeped" i have to s...

This may be of use. The last car i had a 2007 Nissan which is still alive as i sold local. There was a light used come on, if i disconnected battery for say an hour it stayed on, however when left disconnected over night it stayed off for about 200 km. I have also heard of people adding a few litres...

Gasman thanks for the added info, nothing puts me off as i did a run with a hire car last month about 15km on a rural road last month. I should not have done but when i realized this i was at the point of no return, it was so bad the car flagged up "no entry" on the dash and i had to turn ...

as for me i do not wear skirt, well not in public anyway, havn't got the legs....

Not related to topic so i hope ok to say.

I have a friend who was in New York a few weeks ago.
2 brandies. 2 bottles Heineken and 2 coke + $70.
me gusto Espana mucho...

I have being to Puerto a few times but as tourist stayed in some hotel, i do not know the area well. If its a tourist area like costas i am surprised they have no English, this is the reason i thought it be Spanish. The Spanish economy is in a bit of a mess and i do admire your efforts to try and he...

The owner i mention is running a very sucessful bar and loads of English go in, they are treated well as everyone is. The general client-tell are just regular nice Spanish people in a Spanish bar and it works. You did not say that it is a tourist area so... go for it... I know if i owned a bar and i...

Unless at least 50% of my customers principle spoken language be English i would not introduce spoken English if i owned a bar, i have seen about 15 English speaking bars open in the last 10 years away from the coast they are all now closed. I have being to Puerto de Santa Maria, i do not know what ...

The brown will be the live and the blue nuetral, you will need to establish for sure which is the live on the original wiring, though it is likely the black we need to know for sure. There are two reasons for this, first it is better to have the live switched for the light as the power does not ente...

The first question Oscar need ask himself is.... who are my customers? in this game it is about being aware of this and focus on them, if this works generally the rest falls into place.The problem with making it into English bar is others may feel out of place. I am thinking i would put the info you...

Wicksey, Did EasyJet announce in advance they were launching on Thursday and if yes where? i checked some time ago on-line and i think the info i got was be launched in October, i just like to know as i buy alot of flights. It was just before i completed a booking with Ryanair on Thursday i decided ...

With EasyJet we need to have our dates ready before we go in as the system obviously triggers by the amount of people looking on the route. One thing worth watching is the amount of people looking at the route your looking at, it shows in the window just below the route. Another thing book as many f...

Gasman,
Thanks so much for your very helpful, i will fallow as this is exactly what i want to do. We will likely do a night in Villa Real, take the train to Faro do a night or two there and return to car. I will also do Rio Tinto and likely do another night around there.

Regards and thanks again....

Gasman, This is likely the train that was mentioned as i was told it was slow with fancy tiled stations, this info is on the web links you kindly sent me. My original plan was to fly to Malaga and return from Faro doing the whole route on public transport, however the flight times not work well. I w...
