My personal view is that things dont look to good in Spain with the economic situation getting worse, hopefully things could addressed and the situation improved soon.

We have been back in the UK for 2 1/2 years now after living in Spain for 3 years, I can honestly say that me and my family cannot wait to return, live and work back in Spain asap. I have set my own business up here in the UK, with a view of returning to Spain and opening the same business there. I was made redundant in Spain and know how difficult getting work is.

People always think the grass is greener, but it isnt. We returned to the UK excited to reunite with friends only to find our real friends we have just left behind in Spain along with our fantastic lifestyle for us and the kids. The Spanish are always welcoming and nice to us, people forget that the UK is probably one of the worst places to live (unless you can claim benefits). Drug taking and crime are sky high, along with child grooming and prostitution. Dull wet grey depressing.  And we came back to this!

 

So to answer your question How are things in your area? 

Not good, Stay in Spain, work hard and do whatever you can to stay afloat. Spain will recover as people in the UK start to get sick of the weather again and start to get a little money behind them, they will start to look again at Spain, and see the cheap house prices and start to buy, this in turn should help to kick start the economy and jobs a plenty off the back of this. The question you should be asking is when will this happen? Unfortunatly I dont have a crystal ball but hopefully it will happen sooner than later!
