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.

Spain's Unemployed


Bad news from the Statistical Institute - at the end of 2010 there were just under 5 million registered as unemployed in Spain.

This is more than the population of Ireland or Norway.

The figures do not include the long term unemployed or young people still seeking their first job.

Let's hope a solution to the problem is soon found ...
