agree with you all re britain going down the tubes.  I started actively looking abroad at the end of 2002.  I hated where new labour was taking the country.  I wanted sunnier climes and less govt control of my life.


damn right...left in 99...havent been back...got ruddles, john smiths bitter beer for about a quid a can down here in the local supermarkets...english shops to get yer english luxuries like parma violets, hp sauce, etc...used to get all the premiership on spanish tv until of course GOL tv bought it all (probably owned by murdoch)...but now have the hardship to go watch it in the local spanish pub who get said gol tv.....
oh and did i mention the guaranteed 300 days of sun and my little village statistically (FACTS!) recognised as the best climate in europe...http://www.imb-amberes.com/about_torrox_en.htm
i write and paint all day ...tis a good life..

Hey Barticus,

I have a friend who lives near Lake Vinuela. Just down the road from you. I visit her every year so when I'm over next year maybe we could meet for a beer or two?

And just to make you feel even better about leaving Blighty the link on my signature is from my own weather station so you can smile at our awful temps as you sun yourself!  :'(

very good drawings, barticus!

This weekend, I must google some more for your town/neck of the woods.  It looks beautiful.

Must also take pics sometime of where the dude abides.

welcome, barticus.

i;d love to hear mre of your lifestyle there.  I almost bought in Portugal.  i loved idea of living in hills above the algarve. 

spain was pretty expensive near the coast, for me.

ultimately I gave up on europe, given the direction it was going (an authoritarian, control freak based state)
