Diary of a Spanish Holiday Home Owner

Owning a holiday home in Spain has always been my dream. The experiences I have had, and continue to have, never cease to amaze, frustrate, scare and delight me.

What I love about Spain - #1 - The Sun
Friday, October 9, 2009 @ 11:44 AM

No, I'm not talking about a national newspaper which some would say believes it can determine the outcome of the next election.  It is obvious I know but one of the things I look forward to most when we go out to Spain is the warming and heeling feeling of the sun on my back.
 

 


 


Apart from a couple of weeks in October, when the weather breaks at the end of summer and what seems to be like the whole of February, you are guaranteed sunshine most of the time.   It doesn't have to be the middle of summer for it to be warm enough to walk around in shorts and tea shirts.  If you can find a corner where you are out of any wind a day in the middle of Janauary can often feel like the best day of a British summer.  With this in mind, one favourite winter venue or ours is the Dolphin restaurant in our local port.  It's a perfect location for a sunny mid morning coffee with the opportunity to relax and watch the world go round.

For a moment then I was actually sat there ..... Oh well, back to work.  Only two more weeks more before we fly out.  I must find out when they are going to turn the heating on in my office and check how the pound  is doing against the Euro !!!!

Sorry but you really don't want to know! It's nearly as poor as it was in January...

uurrrgghhhh, the rates awful. No sign of it getting any better either. Every time it starts to improve the BoE come out with a negative statement about the strength of the pound or emphasise how fragile the economic recovery is. I'm sure they are doing it deliberately, obviously a week pound suits them in some way.
