The story of our adventure in Spain



In October 2002 we purchased a holiday flat in Guardamar on Spain's Costa Blanca - not far from Alicante and Torrevieja and we try to spend a good part of the year in Spain.

This blog hopefully will contain our thoughts and impressions of Spain - the good and the bad and lots and lots of photographs of not only Guardamar but the rest of Spain as we eventually get to explore it.

Guardamar - A place to live ...


These small houses in Guardamar were typical of all the housing in this small town some years ago - quite quaint but lacking some modern amenities I would think.

During the housing construction boom of recent years these houses would be snapped up as soon as they became available - knocked down and a block of flats erected .

I'm afraid those days are gone - builders are no longer interested and these properties stay on the market for some considerable time.



Modern Spanish couples seem to prefer the new flats that have been constructed and shy away from these old properties.
