speaking of ages

I'm pleased to see from the latest Padron for Bigastro that 1,178 (14%)of the people living in the town are either as old or are older than me.

Going back to the statistics for 2000 when there were only 449 (11%) in that group and none aged over 74 gives me hope for a long and happy life here.



It is also interesting to note that 3,813 of the 6,967 (55%) ciudadanos were born here in Bigastro and over 85% of the population are Spaniards.

As you can see of the 1,013 or 14.5% extranjeros only 226 (3% of the population)are British.




So thankfully there is no foreseeable chance of Bigastro becoming a "little Britain in the sun".
