Please does anyone have a surplus fridge or small fridge/freezer that they w ish to sell.  We are only in Spain for a few weeks each year at the moment, so are unwilling to pay the high prices for Spanish white goods.  Condition unimportant as long as it works.  We shall be in Purchena 8-21 October and could collect then. Also how do you dispose of non-working fridges in Spain?  Presumably there are regulations, as in England, and you can't just leave it by the communal rubbish bins. Thanks for any information Annie-l

Hi everyone - A while back I saw a craft project which used old glass bottles by splitting them to make vases - but I didn't pay attention to the technique and now I can't find the page - has anyone done this and can you tell me how? Thanks!

Hi, My partner and I currently live in Australia (both EU Nationals) and are very seriously considering buying property around Granada. For the next few years, it would be a holiday home or rented locally if possible, with the aim of moving into it later. We will be in teh area in August and are hoping to visit some properties and also find out what the process would be and potentially the tax or other implications of having a property there whilst living abroad. Could anyone direct me to a good website explaining this and a reliable estate agent who will not be on holidays in August (19-26). Thank you!

We are considering a move to the area around Taberno. Is there anyone who lives in that part of Almeria who could share information on the  potentialsocial life and particularly climate.  It seems to be quite exposed to the weather but as the wind has been quite strong this winter it is hard to make a judgement.  We are keen gardeners and wold like to be able to establish a garden.

We have just moved to a house with a nice sized garden and we fancied growing perhaps a grapefruit or lime tree...are they easy to grow here?
