Eye
on Spain Newsletter - 10 November 2009 |
Buenos dias
I'm back! I've been off for a bit nursing a slipped disc in my back (very painful) but very happy to be back at work this week. During my time on my back balancing my lap top in mid air above me I was looking for Spain related Christmas presents for friends and family back home. I've shared some of my findings in the first article this week with you.
Well, what a massive response I received to the articles in our
last newsletter...and some of the usual not so nice comments amongst them! We've changed the comments system on the articles to make it easier so if you do have a comment it's best to post it at the end of the article so that others can see it too. All comments welcome!
I always try to put a balanced newsletter together. I never pretend that everything is great in Spain and I hope that this week's is just as balanced.
And finally a shamless plug for a friend. He has some desks to rent out in his excellent air-conditioned offices near Marbella. Includes PC, WiFI, Fax, etc. If you need an office but thought you couldn't afford it then this could be a possible low cost solution. Call Mike on 952 83 8693 for more info.
Have a great week.
Saludos
Justin

Bored and Bitchy – The Brits who Settle for Costa living
In my last newsletter I had a bit of a moan about the negative articles that keep being written in the UK press about Spain. However, when I read this one, originally published by the Telegraph, I felt there was actually quite a lot of truth in this one. What do you think? Leave your comment at the end of the article.
