Just read any thread other than Happy Spain Experiences! You may need to be more specific as to what you want to know, if you want any answers here. Welcome to EyeOnSpain. Browse around the site, you've come to the best place. _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post?

Just trawl through post after post & you'll learn lots, you'll just need oodles of patience. Janice _______________________ Be respectful to other members who try to help. Read forum rules Spam post?

Read the forums, do LOTS & LOTS of research, get a trusted independant Lawyer (that's the really difficult part) and tread carefully. Happy hunting.!

Went over on an inspection trip, and visited GRAN MIRADOR "golf and country club" where site work was just under way. 180000 euros for a 2 bed 2 bath apmt comunal pool gardens etc etc, but decided against it. There is no golf course and consequently no hotel, golf club, etc etc. amazingly many agents are still advertising the development as golf and country club!!! i am still looking 3 years down the line and have now decided on a re-sale.
