Jools, I'd be interested to know the rationale behind rustic land in Aragon being treated differently by the administration than that in Catalunya?  After all it's all part of mainland spain and is surely subject to the same rules and restrictions?  How come a piece of land which stradles Aragon & Catalunya is treated differently depending on which side of the fence it's on?  Strange or what!  Is there any possibility that some of the refurbs/builds in Aragon could be declared illegal in the future? 

By the way - I wouldn't like anyone to draw the conclusion from my original post that I in any way support any form of Illegal activity, I merely feel sorry for some well meaning people cuaght up in an awful mess.  Personally I try to live by the rules - as far as I am concerned, I'm a guest of the nation.  On the other hand, some would say "when in Rome..." but when they did as the Romans do, were severly punished for it.
