Eye on Spain Newsletter 06 May 2008
   

Buenos dias 

Four years ago we moved to Spain for an easier life but I can't remember ever been this busy!  I didn't even get a chance to send out the newsletter last week...probably because I was still recovering from my trip to the Barcelona Grand Prix!

Last weekend we met up in Grazalema with Maria de Castro and her family.  If you've never been to Grazalema then you MUST visit the next time you're over...and if you can get Maria to show you around then even better!!  I'll post some pics on my blog later.

Later this week we're going to be launching our blog facility so that any of our members can have their own blog on Eye on Spain, like Lisa and Diego do at the moment.  I'll send details about this later this week including how you can use your blog to make some extra pennies for yourself, so watch out for that email.

Our friends at Sol Channel have recently updated their latest news from Spain which you can watch here.

And finally, I recently came across an interesting property management and key holding service called Overseas Keys.  They are part of the Co-op group in the UK and offer airport based key holding services and they have a helpful guide which you can download.  Airport based key holding services seem a really interesting proposition, do you know of any other new or novel ideas which we can mention in the newsletter?

Anyway, enough banter let's move on with this week's articles:
