Have they got rid of 'landgrab' in Valencia then ?

We too would now be living happily in Valencia, were it not for the Landgrab rumours five years ago.
The last I heard is they were taken to the European Court and told to stop this activity of allowing abuse of that law.

I do wish the Catalans would stop pretending to be Spanish and thus benefitting from all the visitors coming here hoping to find "Spanish" hospitality...

That is my experience too Roswell. Bear in mind that at least 25% of Barcelonians originate from elsewhere in Spain, many from Andalucia! Many Catalans do not consider themselves Spanish but Catalan. Even if they are not extremists they consider themselves Catalan first and Spanish second.
Our neighbour Fransisco, Franca for short ( never Franco ) is in his 70's, he has hardly been outside his home town since he was born, he lost most of his family during the civil war ( they were republicans) He speaks Catalan and his spoken  Spanish is probably no better than mine, although he can obviously understand it because he sometimes listens to Spanish T.V. H e is always telling me how rich Britain is and I don't think he believed me when I told him we grow grapes and make wind in parts ok the UK!
Our other neighbour, Flor, originates from Vigo, Galicia. She is a firm Francoist and says things were better under Franco and that Spain has 'gone to the dogs' since then.
She is firm friends with Franca despite their differences! I suppose they just avoid talking politics!
Oh, well, less of my ramblings but I suppose what I'm trying to say is it's a complex situation but at the basic human level there are some great people out there, whatever their political leanings!

Viking,  you have been eating too many Spanish onions, again ??

Hello
No Im not an estate agent, just a retired ex-pat looking after my Huerta and olivos. I do know of 2 nice plts of land nearby however. Both with water and one v close to electricity. Both only 3km from AP7. The plots belong to neighbours (spanish) so I have no profit from their sales

The only off white plastic chairs I`ve come across on the way to the coast usually have some old tart stuck on them.
(I wonder how many other forum members find discarded bits of pattisierie stuck to furniture...)

Yep, that was the one, ensaimada I reckon!!!!
