 We installed a pellet burner this year, makes the house really warm, is programable and cheap to run.

 

REPEAT This is an apt. Dont think pellet burner would be allowed. But will check.

Ok, so this was the coldest European winter, etc. But I'd like to prepare for a repeat. We hate the cold.

Am looking for INFORMED opinions on gas v. electric heating for a 2 BR Apt.  Our electricity bill was dreadful this winter. 

Am thinking going to Repsol for bottled gas info for a Combi Boiler system. Also thinking of Clay based German electric heating.

Am interested in any relevant  experiences.

Complete lack of insulation & tiled floors are, I know, a factor.

But it's the heating systems themselves that I am interested in.

Tho if anyone has installed underfloor heating in their apartment (not house) I am curious too!

 

Fire away!

Today, my husband signed for a post that turns out to be from Transit office in Tarragona  telling us to pay a 900 euro fine! 

For what we dont know???  There is a supposed vehicle infraction  which appears to be on Oct.5 2011 in Tarragona. Something happened- a hearing or something-we dont know - on 29 December 2011 at 9 am. We dont know!!

The licence plate no. is correct. The address is not.  The correo notice went to a neighbour's who recognised the name. The address on this Transit notification is incorrect.

The infraction (infraccio) seemsSomething about driver identification/ title.

I am guessing the following: A speeding ticket maybe that we did not receive? That required a response as to the driver's id?

We dont live in Tarragona, nor visited. BUT on 5 October late evening, he did pick me up from Reus Airport which COULD be in Tarragona. 

What on earth do we do with a 900 EURO FINE for something we dont know about??

What supposed offense attracts a 900 euro fine.. with no notice.??

More important, how do we respond!

HELP!
