The bid has just gone to €50

I agree with you 100% we were thinking of going back to the U.K until we heard the news yesterday about the cost of fuel and then later we heard that inflation was also going up, we may not be as happy as we would have liked to have been living in Spain as we are missing family but at least we can pay our bills and will be warm this winter.

We left the UK for precisely this reason, everything continues to go up and these energy companies are making extortionate profits and are being allowed to get away with it. Do they not realise we are in a deep recession and the average person cannot afford these constant increases. I am so glad to be here in Spain.

Cafe Vienna in almoradi do excellent food we serve full breakfasts,sandwiches ,jacket potatoes ,wraps etc in the day time then on a night time we do steaks ,burgers ribs ,homemade chilli etc and of course not to mention our tapas we do a tapas platter day and night which is 6 different tapas served with crusty bread ,homemade ali oli and tomato for only 8.95 euros come along and give us a try

Sounds really nice, do you offer any fish or seafood dishes as my cousin loves fish like seabass or salmon and any type of seafood. You will be added to my list of places to eat. Thanks

Hola,
In Café La Cubanita we have an international kitchen and every first Saturday day of the month we have a Cuban night with a 3-course menu for only 8,50... On reservation you can have any other day also Cuban food..
For the rest we have very nice homemade lasagne & chili con carne etc.. And this with a nice Belgian beer :-)
Hope to welcome you and your family in our bar...

Apart from what you have said La Cubanita, do you offer any steaks or Fish and seafood as I have mentioned before my cousin loves this type of food, so we have to please all the family. Thank you.

Steaks we don't offer but we have a nice Cuban plate called " Enchilada de mariscos" that's merluza (white fish sorry don't know the name in English ) and scampi in tomato sauce.. delicious :-)
We also offer breaded scampi and every Friday fish n' chips (booking essential )

Hello babyfour,
This friday afternoon would be good for me, please pm to confirm. Regards

where is the lovely square? i know where it use to be lol

Yeh such a shame at the moment! When will it all be finished? Hopefully before the fiestas in July, but I very much doubt it.

i was told by the town hall it wont be finished at least till end of sep

Thats not good for the summer season when most of the tourists come out. It will definately affect the local economy this year. Lets hope it will be worth waiting for!

I think you only need to look around here at the age group they sound to be in and how many of that age group have gone back to the UK. There are properties here to rent (although I think some of the rents people want are ridiculous) but work is extremely hard to find here, whether you speak Spanish or not. The only people that I know (and I am thinking about the sort of 25-45 age group) who seem to manage okay here are those who either have an online business that can be run from here or those whose husbands work in the UK or abroad (ie on oil rigs etc). The work situation here is more dire than in the UK. What do they do for a living and would they come with a lump sum behind them? I dont want to sound down on Spain as obviously I live here and love the lifestyle for us and the children but its not easy - you have the same stresses and worries as you do in the UK.

Its about meeting their needs at the end of the day, so what do the family want from this ?

Are they happy to just get by with the added bonus of a warmer climate or do they have dreams and aspirations to make something happen for them over here.

If its just geography and theyr'e running away from a poor lifestyle in England then it is unlikley that there needs will be met. However if theyre in it for the long haul and are confident they can do something with their lives then I say go for it because depending upon their circumstances in england, what exactly have they got to loose and I say that with a genuine heart.

A friend of mine moved into a flat in the area 3 years ago with nothing but her family allowance/ child benefits being transferred over. The odds were against her but she had drive and determination, it hasnt been easy but shes got a nice life now and so have her kids who are all fluent in spanish, totally integrated into the spanish way of life and happy, not millionaires at all but getting by and enjoying their lives.They dont really have more than they did before in terms of money but their quaility of life has rocketed.

Like I say its about meeting a need but hey if they can come over and survive these economically challenged days then imagine how it will be for them when things pick up.

In the final analysis you cant decide for them, you can only give them the benefit and knowledge of your own experience

I wish them luck what ever they decide !
