Go to the official council office on CdA. It is opposite the Mileniun Offices. The gentleman in there speaks perfect English, is very helpful. You make the payment to him, he then issues you the official receipt, and if you wish sets up a direct debit for you from your bank account.

Perhaps because of people like yourselves using legal but still "Tax avoidance" schemes, is the reason the low paid workers pay more than there fair share in Spain and other countries. If for example in the UK, Mick Jagger, Gary Barlow Starbucks and Amazon all paid their obligatory UK taxes without "avoidance," the NHS, schools and police force could be better funded. So the next time that poor Spanish/Portugese waiter(ess) who works 12 plus hours a day (because they have to pay ALL their obligatory taxes), brings you your food and drink.  Then I hope you have a "pique" of conscience and leave a very large tip.

An aquaintance has been looking for a house in Bolnuevo/El Alamillo area. Within minutes of looking at Estate agents photo's, I have zoomed in on the exact house 15 out of 15 times on Google Earth. Therefore I have the street, and the address.........Be careful all!!!

Hephaestus - Good point regards police etc unable to strike. However when MP's have been awarded 10% pay rises and nurses lucky if they are to get 2%........It's wrong. There should be a way that they can take action to protest against this. So too should police, firemen/women, and all other services "including atc's."

Steone - As mentioned training (ongoing). Also pensions, employee insurance, and other incidentals, reduce or eliminate totally any savings. And extra handovers increase the risk of errors too.

Baz1946 - Totally agree with you regards surgeons and nurses. I have gone on strike in the past in support of these amazing dedicated people. However Maggie and subsequent governments have made it almost impossible to strike now. (and are in the process of making it more difficult today). So as above, how can these people including atc's protest (Btw I am NOT a militant striker or union member).  Also, paying a higher wage may not remove the stress whilst still employed in this job. But it allows you to retire or move to a stress free job sooner.....hopefully before you burn out.
