Houses for Sale in Spain

Fiestas in Valencia. The Tomatina 2011 Has Gone

Not the usual style of post here today as this is an advert. However it is an excellent advert. A rather cool advert for Ray Bans. Take a look it is well worth a couple of minutes of your time. I have also added into this post some links to other posts on the blog about Fiestas, Fallas and Tourist Attractions in Valencia. Enjoy.

Spain Is…

Spain is…

First what Spain is not.

Spain is not flamenco.
Spain is not siesta.
Spain is not mañana.

Forget the stereotypes.

The Opinion.

Spain is an infinite loop of possibilities. (Speaketh the Apple Fanboy)
Spain is enigmatic.
Spain is still different.

Feeling Awkward in Spain? Taking Photos and Videos

Today we have a guest post from Morten who writes for Javea Amigos. He has published this on Expat Forum but he said that we could use it as I thought that my readers might like it a lot. I did. It gets you thinking about different attitudes to life. I have also aded a photo here taken at my daughter’s concert last week. It is like a Canon convention, so different to the attitudes prevalent in many schools in the UK. Anyway, read on about Morten’s toe curling awkwardness! (Oh and you must read about bull football!)

Finally a Quiet Week

I guess I shouldn’t be celebrating of course as without clients it is difficult to make sales but this week is no looking too busy for a change. Therefore if you are thinking of coming to see some property in Valencia I can fit you in most days this week. Here is just a quick selection of some things that have become available in the last couple of weeks at decent prices.

La Ley De Costas (The Spanish Coastal Law)

Today’s video in our 100 tips about moving to Spain takes on the Spanish Coastal Law (or La Ley De Costas) A totally confusing and rambling law implemented in different ways in different areas of Spain it is really something that you should be aware of. Even being a celebrity will not help you if you fall foul of it as Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith found out (Google it) Watch the video for a little bit more information and if you are thinking of buying a property near the beach then bear this law in mind and make sure your lawyer checks it out for your particular property.

Food In Spain. Tip Number 27 Of Our 100 Tips For Moving To Spain

Tip number 27 of out 100 tips for moving to Spain talks about food and how you should explore the tastes of Spain when you come over here. If you stick to your normal diet then food becomes a lot more expensive. Fresh food tends to be cheaper here but processed food is quite a bit more expensive. I have included two videos today, the first is the tip and the second is one I made last year that talks about the price of fruit and veg in Spain.

Cafe Society In Spain

Thought I would film a gritty realistic video about working class life in Spain. OK no I didn’t, what I did was to film a video in low light and put it in black and white showing cafe society in Spain.
