Buenos dias
We got back from France last week after spending a few great days in Disneyland Paris although we'd never have thought we were away. The majority of the other visitors to the park were Spanish! It was quite cold and wet in Paris but we then returned
to some rather (uncomfortable) scorching heat here. What a difference.
Today is a sad day for us. We say goodbye to our popular contributor, Pete. Many of you have been following his accounts of his life in Aljucen in Extremadura but unfortunately due to health reasons Pete is heading back to UK. I am sure many of
you will join us in wishing him well for the future.
Now, next week is not so sad....on July 12th Eye on Spain will be 3 years old! We've got a few things lined up for the Birthday so don't miss it, and if you want to send us presents then please do!
Enough waffle, lots of great articles for you today:

Save Money Transferring Money
It still suprises me how many people use their bank to tranfer thousands of Euros to their Spanish bank account (yes, I made that mistake too). Using a currency broker will usually save you money.

When Cultural Characters Conflict
Is it Father Christmas or the Three Kings? Does the tooth fairy visit or is it a mouse? Our regular characters back home don't mean much here.
