I agree !! Myself and my children are very rarely ill since we have been living in Spain. Even my youngest daughters Asthma has dramatically improved, however, a couple of weeks ago, we went for a four day visit back to the UK. On the day we were returning home my daughter started with a cough, cold, sore throat etc. She has been ill since we have been back and has now missed nearly two weeks of school because of this. Luckily, my older daughter is well and has been able to go to school. I now have the sore throat, cough, cold etc and both of us just cant seem to shift it, i guess its due to this cold damp weather we are experiencing at the mo. Cant wait for the sun to start shining again !!
So, the reason I am writing this, to get back ontrack with the original question, is that I really believe that the kids health has been far better here than in the UK. My aunty and uncle live close by in Torrevieja and they are always singing the praises of living in this area as she suffers from rheumatism and is always saying how much better she has felt since living here.
