Buenos dias
Hope you're having a good week so far. It seems many of our members are away
on holiday at the moment so if you are, or you're soon to go, I hope you have a
really nice time. We'll still be here when you get back.
One of the things we pride ourselves on with this newsletter is that we don't hide
anything. We tell everything like it is and look at the positives and negatives
of Spain. Not everyone likes what we publish each week but we think we show
a very balanced view of Spain.
In this respect, this week Susan looks at what she believes are the failings of
Spanish architects in terms of the needs of the foreign buyer/ resident. Also,
on the request of one of our members, we are publishing a copy of a letter of complaint
regarding the failings of her husband's private healthcare insurance in Spain.
A disturbing read for any expat, or prospective expat resident in Spain.
Read these articles and more below.

When Healthcare In Spain Goes Wrong
Many expats choose to take out private medical insurance when living in Spain, particularly
if they can't speak Spanish. The following article is a letter of complaint
sent to the medical insurance company following the death of her husband in Spain.
It's in two parts, the treatment part and then the funeral part.
