So, I've had a place in Costa-del-sol for well over a decade now but not spent much time there throughout the winter until this year.  Coming up for 3 months now and I have to say I'm struggling to understand why old folk come here.  Sure, the climate is better than the UK for example, but really, there must be better places to go, unless the weather this year has been extraordinary.  Haven't seen much of the sun or felt the supposed average winter temperatures of 19 degrees of whatever.  All I've really experienced is endless rain and strong winds.  Is this normal?

Many of the 'place in the sun' brigade bought properties with deposits freed up from their cash machine homes in the UK.  But now that bubble has burst and the ability to free up equity (if there is any) held in UK property pretty much non-existent and not likely to be for the forseeable future (if ever) I can't see that major source of buyer returning no matter what quality of life can be enjoyed in the Costas. 

Thank god it's sunny though or we'd be really miserable!  ;-)

What really annoys me is the 'get rich quick' brigade - mopping up multiple holiday apartments off-plan to sell them on to some other mug for a quick profit.   Same story here in the UK - morons gorging on easy credit discussing their 'buy-to-let PORTFOLIO' at dinner parties, pretending they are middle-class when they are really working class.  Driving around in flashy motors again fueled by cheap credit.  Talk about gullible - fodder for the financial sector.

I'm actually really pleased what has happened has happened if I'm honest.  My only regret is the lack of future for the young folk who will never get on the housing ladder because of the inflated prices of property both here in the UK and of course in Spain.  That hopelessness is already manifesting in many ways!

Calm down.

It's a long-term game.  Those in it buying off plan  5 years ago hoping to make a quick profit are going to be disappointed.  So what?  That's business!

most beaches have 'no perros' signs but realistically out of main season it doesn't appear to be an issue.  I have a place in Benalmadena and that's the case their.  I also understand that there is indeed a place in Malaga where I could take my two terriers so you might get more good news.
