Just booked my ITV and got this message,

A partir del 15/09/2017, será obligatorio acreditar el seguro del vehículo al pasar ITV.

although I understand what it says, not sure what I have to do, do I need to take my insurance documents with me?

I still keep mine in the car.

Interesting regarding the Spanish Health cards. My neighbour (Spanish) has been telling me for a long time now to say I have lost my ´red card´ so I can have it replaced with the ´green card´and use that on a day to day basis, keeping my red card in a safe place, like she and all her family have don...

After emptying the the squatters belongings on to the patio, the squatters had us in court the next day! They had been previously denounced by us. It took a year to get them out legally.

My elderly mum who lives in the UK loves to look at the family photos on face book when younger relatives visit. I am looking at buying her a tab and some kind of temporary access to the internet to see how she gets on. I am sure there must be a simple solution. Any suggestions or recommendations wo...

Could look for a catering job in Gibraltar and you could live in Spain?

I am not a prolific poster but I do remember you, I am still here ! We arrived here in 2004, like you with our family, ¨abandoning¨ the oldest two in the UK :) The 15 year went back to finish his schooling in the UK, but it was girlfriend that he missed the most, they are now married with a young fa...

You use to be able to take a light aircraft tour from here Aeródromo La Juliana in Bollullos de la Mitación, It was 85€ per person approx 5 years ago for just over an hour.

All working fine. Paid in cash at the garage.

OOH I am off down there on Saturday, Like you I always pay the service station. In the past when the machine has been down they have given me a scratch card and I had to pay on line via my mobile.

I have used online templates in the past for European travel, though we have never been asked to produce the authorization to travel, though ´times are a changin´

For future reference avoid Faro or have a contingency plan for every `possibility

Nat west machine outside Morrisons. If out of order and you have to use the other machine they will change the notes at customer services if they have them.

I went to Faro Airport last Friday. The machine in the garage was not working so I had to buy a card for 10€ It gives you the instructions in English on the the back of the card. Scratch off the silver bit and text the code to the given number with your registration. A clear example is given. You re...

Only today my daughter had a note from the local police informing her to go to the ayuntumiento, she was having two flowerbeds (patches of dirt in her case) concreted over and the police happened to be driving past. She has to pay 2 per cent of the cost or a minimum fee of €60. All for €150 euros wo...

Just after the bridge you pull over to the right and you cannot miss the automatic toll booths. Towards the busy times you will get pulled over into the toll lanes by the Police and you will asked questions in English by the tourist information? people doing a survey? On these occasions I just drive...

Yes still here and still using the toll:) I always pay at first garage and prefer to pay in cash since they took payments twice on two consecutive occasions, and it took ages (about 40mins) for the very nice lady in our local Caixa bank to get my money back. She commented that it happens a lot. Way ...
