We have been to police station today took private medical docs proof of income from uk also bank statements proof of children at private school in Spain my wife refused residencia because her private medical insurance does not cover irritable bowel syndrome. We were told that any exclusion of any medical condition meant you cannot have residencia. Don't know why we bothered to try we are uk citizens been living here 5years never once asking Spanish state for anything

I am half spanish and have eaten the Spanish way all my life and love it. My mother is from Galicia and there you really do get the best fish and meat in Spain,  but my british half still loves it when my wife comes back from Morrisons Gibraltar.

Fresh milk is a problem here as so many times supercor has sold us a carton of milk only to get home and find its gone off.

All this talk is making me think of pork pies

Sotogrande

 yachthaven , Valderrama golf , Santa Maria Polo.

This is Spains upmarket holiday playground where the wealthy of Madrid holiday and mix with well healed expats. As usual it comes at a cost even in the recession but as with all wealth areas you get what you pay for. If you can afford it you will love it

Having owned a holiday villa in Sotogrande Spain (nr Gibraltar) for 7 years we decided to move here permanantly and have never looked back. Life was great in the UK and Poole Dorset is a wonderful place to live. Having said that the move to Spain for the family has been a dream. For  Sports & social in particular the outdoor life makes all the difference.

Sotogrande is special and whilst not as busy as Marbella we love the scenery it offers and the fact that its an urbanization surrounded by beautiful countryside. 

If your moving to Spain then consider Sotogrande.
