As a farm owner, I would also be interested if anyone can point me to a summary of the rules...

As I understand it, as an owner
- you allow shepherds graze by mutual consent, but generally if no one complains they will use, including ruins.
- you can say its private land, and are allowed to prevent entry, to protect crops/livestock
- you can say its private hunting - but some matriculation is given by town hall ( i need details of this)
- you can say its a reserve ( same principle as hunting, but some how more restrictive ?)

Anyone entering your land, is not allowed to damage, or plunder your assets (eg crops)

Much of the above, cam only be done if you own over a certain amount of land ( think its 2ha?)

This is just what I've gathered from locals, but I'm going to check with town hall.

Personally, I just will prevent hunting, as I have no issues with walkers, or locals gathering mushrooms etc.
(also fencing would stop wildlife roaming, and would be impractical for me)

Locals farmers here, in the most part seem to be the same, though a few fence it off especially if they have livestock for obvious reasons.

Anyone , know more? Do I need to get permissions for signs? ( I was originally told not)

Hi,

I need to move ~ 13m3 of (removal) boxes from Alhama de Granada to Baza (about 130km, 1.5 hours drive) for Sept 1st.

I either need a man with a van to help me shift the boxes,  or possibly just rent a van.

Mark

( they also provide services for other countries e.g. USA)

Odd, the OP states that visitors should show respect to locals...and someone wishes to oppose this view!?

Language is irrelevant here, civility and respect , is a common courtesy or should be.

It would be no more appropriate if the offenders had been in the uk, and shouted 'oi barman , beer!'
... But I'm guessing they wouldn't do that at home, so why do they do that abroad?

the only point is, by doing it here, they breed a sad stereotype for us all.
(hmmm I'm sure I was told that as a kid, that you represent your country/family when you out, hence clips around the ear :))

Thankfully stereotypes are that, once people know you,they always see past it.
