Our lead article and video this week is all about the fact that sometimes  the Spanish way can appear quite direct  to us foreigners but it seems it's just a matter of us adapting. 

Now, before you read all about that I just wanted to mention a couple of points. 

Firstly, we've put together a really useful tool for Spanish property buyers in association with Mark Wilkins from The Rights Group.  It should be online by Thursday so I'll let you know when it's up.  It's very good!

Secondly, we seem to get a lot of articles sent to us covering the costa del sol but not so many for other areas.  We really want to feature more articles about other areas of Spain.  So why not help us out and send us an article about an area of Spain that you know about?  It could be about living there, buying there, setting up a business there, etc.  Submit your articles to us and we'll happily publish them for our thousands of readers.

Anyway, on with today's articles.

Buying a Car in Spain
Three months ago I went to the VW garage nearby to order my new car.  Considering this was VW I was shocked at the poor levels of customer service.  Now a new service aims to take the pain out of buying a car in Spain....wish they'd been around three months ago!

Holiday in Seville
Last August we went to Seville for a day.  We all nearly died from the heat!  Avoid the blistering sun in July and August and Seville is a beautiful city to explore.

Spain Top Choice for Second Home Abroad
It seems that no matter how much negative press is thrown at the Spanish property market, Spain still ranks as a top destination for second home buyers, or so says Louise.
