Hi from Spain!
Just joined up.....I'm a Brit (Welsh) that's been in Southern Spain for 13 years! I'm not on the Costas....I'm 3000 ft up in the mountains of rural Granada.
I've got a 2006 Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDI 90.....110K kms / 68K miles!
Stunning condition......not a spot of rust! Rust doesn't exist in the dry air we get up in the mountains.
Look forward to chatting to you!

Re: Hi from Spain!
Where in West Wales are you?
We're originally from Swansea.....but we left there 30 years ago!
Lived for a few years in Carmarthen in the 90's......never seen so much rain and mist in my life!

Not far from Carms, near Cynwel Elfed - up the hills and far away - just the way I like it!

Re: Hi from Spain!
Yeh....I know it.
We liked Carmarthen......nice and quiet!
But as soon as we spoke in any of the supermarkets we'd get store detectives following us!

Re: Hi from Spain!
They were paranoid about Jacks! If we spoke in a car park they'd run to their cars and wouldn't leave them till we'd gone!
The Law stopped me a few times and as soon as I spoke they kept me there about 20 minutes doing checks!
And here's a pic of where I live! And you've probably never seen a photo like it taken in Spain! We've seem extremes from -20 to +46.

And a welcome from another Brit in Spain . . . and I can vouch for those temperatures - inland, that is!

Re: Hi from Spain!
Come on XTreme/Marc the thread "What do you know about Wales?" has hit the doldrums and needs some joiners-in. Could do with a bit of banter explanation for the rest of us....how about a doggy tale from the 1930's to start it off!

Re: Hi from Spain!
In the context as used here, what are jacks?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Hi from Spain!
It's what other Welsh call people from Swansea!
And there's always been a lot of heat between Swansea and Cardiff......this has happened to me many times!
