I have recently been diagnosed with a stage one tumour on my bladder, As I am not yet in the Spanish health system I have been paying for various consultations, ultra sound etc at private clinics who seem to be treating me as a cash machine. I am not worried at this point as I will hopefully be with...

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there is a just giving facility in Spain, try contacting the local charities commission, they may be able to help!

Just to follow up. We successfully obtained our certificates of permanent residence yesterday. It was all very easy. We were called 30minutes after our appointment time and left an hour later with the certificates. It took so long because once having made the application at one of the desks we then...

You don't say how old your neighbour is. The separation from his wife is likely the root of the problem. I know of a British neighbour here who is living in similar conditions, he's been here for 4 or 5 years and got divorced from his wife last year and is also not very well off, he's 71 and is clea...

Why can't you just have your pensions paid directly to a Spanish account.

I abhor those electric scooters, the time will come, and it's fast approaching, when they will be more dangerous than cycles, I witnessed an incident here some weeks a go where a moron turned into a blind alley without slowing down and knocked an old lady down, I can say with all honesty that he was...

Mr Pumpkin, one question please. Do you consider that all Bicycles should legally have to have a working bell fitted as an audible warning device for pedestrians and other road hazards? Yes, in exactly the same way a car does. Although I find my voice is more effective, louder and quicker to activa...

For a thousand euros is it really worth the bother ?

This is only my opinion but I would not trust any insurance company to pay up for any thing any where, any time in the foreseeable future you can be absolutely certain that they will take your money but getting them to pay up will be another matter, as I said only my opinion !

You mean "make them an offer they can't refuse" ??

Spain, watch the news at midnight !

Keep your eyes on the news tonight, looks like we could be in for another major lockdown !

As Katy says. El Corte Ingles, If they don't have it in stock they will order it for you, Quinta do Noval 2005 is ok, around €25.00 !
