| Eye on Spain Newsletter - 04 August 2009 | |
| Buenos dias It's hot and we're bothered...so we're all taking our holidays this month. This means that emails from us will be short on the ground and anwyay, most of you won't care as you'll probably be on holiday too. So I just wanted to leave you with my list of the top 10 things can do to keep you busy throughout August, wherever you are: 1. Grab Spain Uncut Videos At The Reduced Rate :-) The reduced price for Spain Uncut expires tomorrow on the public site so grab the videos now so you have plenty to watch and learn about moving to and living in Spain: Yes, let me have my Spain Uncut 2. Catch Up On The EOS Blogs There are loads of great blogs on Eye on Spain which you should keep an eye on:
Up-to-the-minute news from Spain
And read more Eye on Spain blogs. 3. Start Your Own EOS Blog And Make Some Money Yes, you too CAN make some money online and the easiest way to start? Start blogging on Eye on Spain. It's not going to make you rich but maybe you can pay for some of your holiday drinks from it. 4. Relax With A Humourous Book About Spain If you haven't read Deborah Fletcher's "Bitten by Spain" then you're not a true Spain aficionado. This is a brilliantly written and funny account of their move to Spain. I'm not going to spoil it for you, just read it whilst sitting by the pool on holiday! Read more about Bitten by Spain 5. Learn To Speak Some "Street" Spanish Streetwise Spanish is exactly that and is perfect for those who want to make their existing Spanish more authentic and less text bookish. Peter Christian shares his own experiences with the language and culture, tying the two in a very down to earth, light hearted way. Learn to speak some real Spanish 6. Look Through Our 100s Of Articles We have literally hundreds of articles on the site covering just about every subject related to Spain. If you're new to the site you will have missed some excellent articles from previous months and years. Start trawling through our article archives 7. Enjoy Some Siesta TV Time We've taken a little break from filming for the summer but you can still enjoy all the great videos we've done for our Siesta Show this year. The full list of videos is the bottom of this page. Some of our favourite episodes are:

There are loads there, 78 in total, so plenty to keep you busy! 8. Not Booked Your Hire Car Yet? Oh dear! If you need a hire car this month you may be out of luck as there don't seem to be any. It will certainly keep you busy trying to find an available car that won't cost the earth. If you do need one try the car hire search on EOS. 9. What? You've Not Booked Your Holiday Yet Either??? Everyone deserves a holiday so don't let expensive hire cars put you off. There are some great deals on holiday apartments and hotels in Spain at the moment so do a bit of searching and bag yourself a cheap break. 10. Arrange To Meet Up With Your Neighbours Use Eye on Spain for what it was intended! To get to know your neighbours. Find your community forum or post on the general forum and arrange some meet ups to make some new friends whilst you are in Spain. Well, I hope all that will keep you busy this month. If you're coming out to Spain on your holidays then bring plenty of sun protection and Euros and have a great one! Un saludo Justin Aldridge P.S. What did you think of this newsletter? Was it any good? Was it better than your typical Spain newsletter? You're too right it was! So why haven't you forwarded it to a friend yet?
