Then it was beautifull, now its gone.All thats left is vast areas of empty houses, golf courses.That need water and get it! Since the spaniards have learned to use a felt tip marker, or a spray can, they do thier best to deface any flat surface. They call it street art!!! Of course the Brits add very little , now they come out with young families theres so little work, that they, the Brits become "British builders" with no more experience than a bit of DIY in UK. I leave you to judge the results. Never the less , up the bar you should hear them do Karaoke. Spain. Ive had enough I,m off!! cant take any more, whilst I dont drink a lot I will miss those great spanish wines. What I will miss is my Spanish neighbours, the wine, and the weather. oh! yes those free papers extolling The british barber, bars., quiz night, dart night. The life style its wondefull living abroad. I ve lived here on the Costa Blanca,Costa Calida for 16 years.

The first mistake you people make is not embracing the Spanish culture. You all want to relocate to Spain with all the sun, but you all want a little English colony to make you feel secure. Wake up and smell the roses, nobody asked you to impose on the Spanish, stay at home in grey, ugly England and you will save alot of money. Good Luck!!!

I've been here 4 years and a half and reading that comment really made me think. It is true what was said, and although i beleive it, I still would never move back to England because when you think about it, Its probably the same. But if these people who write articles of complaints and disgust are really writing from experience, my question is, Why did they want to move from England in the first place? And truefully, if you were to do a list of all the bad things about England, it would be a hell of alot times longer than this one above about Spain (Hence the reason that they move in the first place).
