A PLACE IN THE SUN

HI ALL

I am new to the Tortosa Forum but i thought i would say hello to you as i have found some useful stuff on here, I have not yet moved to Spain but hope to do so later in the year but i we do come over as many times as we can. some of you may have seen me on tv on A Place in the Sun, last October where we were shown 5 houses in the area, well we bought the 1st house that channel 4 took us to. We film in July 2012 and we moved into the house on the 27 November we have been really happy so far just wish i did not have to work & come back to the uk, still not for much longer we have been very lucky to meet some really nice neighbours and have quickly become good friends, just listening to Radio Catalonia on line as i write this they are just playing 10cc not heard this for years. Give it a go if you not listen yet its really very good, can you pick this station on the radio or is it just internet. anyway that's me done for now.
Cheers for now Richard.

Hi Richard,
             Welcome to the forum and the area, hope all works out for you, I still have quite a few years before I can move full-time to my place in the sun or "hovel in the hills" depending on how you look at it, but we love it. Best of luck . Brian and the Irish lot Smiley

Hi Richard.. A warm welcome to Catalonia. Smiley
I have quite a few Places in the sun stored in my Tv. Can you give us a clue to the places you were taken to. I have 1 starting up near flix on the Ebro, and another filmed  in Miravet and featuring Mora D' Ebre and  Jesus. My recordings were shown in Jan & Feb, but im sure they are often repeated.

Is it advisable to let people know where your house is if you are not living full time over here. Some of the viewers of this site are not as honest as we would like.....
Meanwhile enjoy catalunya, it's a brilliant place Wink

HI all

Thanks for the interest i am sorry to say that the tv show went out in October last year and is no longer on catch up tv
i am sure they will repeat it again later in the year, the tv show  that we were on was a new series with a new presenter it was title a place in the sun (summer sun) and they put us in a hotel Pino Alto in Miami player, they did film us on the ferry at Miravet the film crew took us to some really lovely places, i have taken on board what Cactus Jack has posted but as i said i have brilliant neighbours and a really good alarm and cctv system in place not that there is much to take as we are not living there yet. if i get to know if the show is going to be on i will put a post on this forum. thanks again for the interest.  Cheers

Welcome Richard - I hope you are very happy in Catalunya.  Like so many others, As an occasional resident, I wish I could be there more often but still it's great to have somewhere in the sun to go to when possible.  I haven't seen the show yet but if you let us know when it is repeated we'll watch out for you.  Best wishes from another of the Irish international brigade

i was wondering who that might be, it would be nice to know who it was and where, channel 4 still have our photos on there web site under A Place in the Sun (summer sun) we are the father and son from Northampton (Richard & Rich) episode 7.
soon be back over we can,t wait  maybe it will be a bit warmer by then.
