The Spanish dream goes sour



Just been reading an interesting article about the problems faced by ex pats in Spain due to the collapse in the pound.One lady makes this interesting comment:

 "We've had retired people calling us and saying they are going to Bulgaria or places like that," explains Angie Russell, whose Union Jack company near Benidorm has been moving Brits – legally – for 22 years.

I have been observing this trend for well over a year now, and it does go to show that Bulgaria remains a great destination for those on fixed incomes.Although those of us already here, will have noticed the spiralling prices in the past few years.

I hope that the new arrivals make an effort to integrate, and to learn Bulgarian.However on the Spanish experience I wouldn't bet on it.So if you see anybody with an El Cordobes T-Shirt, a straw donkey and drinking sangria, you will know who they are.

I just hope that Del Boy and Rodney dont follow them !.
