Mercadona are currently undergoing renovation of their supermarkets. The results are very pleasing but the parking areas have been modified to provide more places. As consequence, the car bays are smaller and the swing area to drive into them much reduced. Fine for small cars but for saloons a challenge.

My wife and I live between Alicante and Cartagena on Costa Blanca. It is so long back that I first joined Eye on Spain I can’t remember. It was a brilliant forum, hopefully still is.

A regular and positive contributor I became disillusioned when a newcomer with just one or two previous posts to his name was allowed to flame me in the most abusive way and why, I have no idea.

Posting was like getting into the boxing ring without the Queensbury Rules. I hope Eye is now better monitored.

Spain is a large country and similar in size to Ukraine, which is Europe’s largest country. Unsurprisingly, people tend to settle where they have connections. The Costa del Sol is radically different, more hurried than say the Costa Blanca. I have lived in both regions but for me and many others the latter is my choice.
