When you read about bombs, illegal houses, homes without proper electricity and earthquakes it is easy to believe living here is not what it is cracked up to be. Undoubtedly for some it is a nightmare but thankfully they are in the minority.
When you awake most mornings to blue skies and sunshine, when you come back from the market weighed down with fresh vegetables that cost just a few euros, when you are greeted heartily by locals you hardly know; then you realise that moving to Spain was a good decision to make.
Of course there are problems; the bureaucracy would be difficult to understand even if it was in English and it takes forever and a day to get some things done but on the whole it is a good, trouble free life that we lead here.
In particular, Pam and I count ourselves lucky to live in a town like Bigastro where the people are so friendly and helpful; where there is so much to see and to take part in at no cost. The town may look a bit raggy in parts but that is part of its charm and in any case it will be completed mañana!
Muchas gracias Bigastro para la vida buena.
