Has anyone ever challenged the Catalunyan govt. and/ or the Spanish govt. in the European court of human rights .W e are members of the EEC and as such have rights to live anywhere in the community. Just because the governments do not want to supply services to rural properties does not mean they can call every campo property illegal as a home.If no services are required or asked for, if no "villa" is built and the properties are bought legally, using Spanish solicitors and in the presence of a Spanish notary , how can a citizen of Europe be told where he can live, providing he is not causing trouble for others in the area.Are the rights of home owners, who have bought their homes and not taken any liberties with the size of the house null and void just because a group of polititians, who change anyway on a regular basis, decide that rural living is   "not allowed".Your comments would be interesting.
