We shall be in Malaga for two days mid month. Is it fair comment, that the metro system is presently just west of Maria Zambrano station, and that any journeys in the other direction are taxi, bus, or indeed walking. Our initial journey on arriving is towards, Paseo de Sancha. I am not sure if there...

My wife did find one fountain at Barcelona airport on Sunday last.

They are also at Seville airport.

Talking about "Scottish"... I remember being in Yates Wine bar in the Strand many moons ago ( now a tapas bar ! ) and hearing a Scottish patron asking the Spanish barman, for a "double across the card " ( me neither ) and looking at him strangely when he had no idea what he was o...

"Itchy feet " ?

Perhaps I could get my neighbour around to light your gas !

Maybe I am phrasing that wrong. What he meant was, hitting the the part of the the gas bottle, from where the gas comes up, with something like the end of a match, ( tooth pick might work too I suppose ) unlit of course, to draw some gas, before reconnecting the whole thing. No flames involved ! Its...

Going to arrange my 5 year "service" when I am out next week, so hopefully this may help the gas situation.

Glad I am not alone in that one. One trick from a neighbour, was to "prime" the gas nozzle of the gas canister with a match, before connecting it.

My first job is trying to light the gas. Always after some months away, it never seems to want to start. I sometimes just give up, go up town for something to eat, and tackle it when I get back. Always a nice feeling when it finally decides to play ball ! We usually get in late anyway, so next day i...

The problem is, as the old adage goes.

There is one born every minute.

There are numerous stories of people being conned out of their pensions with dodgy investments, no matter how often they are told "if it too good to be true" etc.

The NHS is calling them back home ( where they will have "immigrants" looking after them ! )

Then of course there is "legal alien"...

Better call the police.

You would be better off investing in "hotel rooms "...

Just like British Gas putting up their prices recently, others are following suit already...

Won't be long before the rest of the airlines will also be charging for carry on "10kg cases".

Up to now, I am avoiding the latest charge, using BA or easyjet.

Anyone have any idea where we are going ?. BREXIT has not helped of course. Bought a few Euros in town earlier at at just over 1.08, at Debenhams of all places. Hardly makes any difference to shop around at the moment, rates are so poor. One saving grace, I got a £5 voucher to go against my purchase...

[quote="Gasman"]Anyroads - dont know where you walk, but here in rural Huelva province an awful lot of people pop up from behind hedges,

I have heard of people like that !.

But I walk on the side of angels...

This is a slight related question... Which is the best "buena dia" greeting? I go for a walk most mornings and because it is the same people most mornings i get so many different greetings i find it confusing. I just interested in the views of the experts here.... I guess as long as you a...

Update.... Contacted the company on 1st August by email. Gave them the new valor catastral for 2017. Agreed the rest of the calculation. Forms received in the post from the company on 3rd. August for presentation to my bank when I am out there again. Still £29.95 for the service. Anybody struggling ...
