So in two weeks finally the whole population of the Costa will be wiped of the streets, supposedly spending their time in front of some television set watching the match of the year.
The FC Bayern München is going to win the Champions-League-Final 2012 in Munich.
Hopefully Chelsea will take their loss in dignity and decency and not cry like a bunch of babies while millions are watching live.
We’ll see and enjoy a great match (at least the Germans will), that’s for sure!
Can everyone agree on that?
So we have a new government. Now everything will improve in Spain?
Will the real estate and property market refuse and prices finally stabilize or will they drop further? Nobody knows and nobody buys.
What about the unemployment rate? Will there be an improvement or will we see an even worsening? Does the youth have a future in Spain?
The EU and the world are worried about the Spanish economics in relevance to the Greek crisis.
Will Spain go down the drain?

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to keep the temperature in the house (I live in Torrevieja, south Costa Blanca) above the freezing point?
Since we do not have any kind of central heating and we only have one air-conditioning in the living room the temperature in all the other rooms in the house drops extremely, especially at night.
Does anyone have a cheap idea how to keep the bedrooms and all other rooms warm at night? I believe it will get even colder in day-times in winter. Does anyone have experiences with the temperatures down here on the southern Costa Blanca? How cold does it get around Torrevieja in Winter time?
Any suggestions on adequate heating systems solutions for houses in Spain?

Hello Spain,
I’m Dean and live in Torrevieja since 2000. My wife and I feel home here but know about certain discrepancies here in Spain. That why we are a little worried about the situation of the swine flu influenza and the meassures taken to prevent an epidemic or pandemic here in Spain. Is the Spanish Government taking the situation seriously? Does Spain have enough vaccine for everybody living in Spain? Anyone got serios info on the situation for mass vaccination for the H1N1 virus here in Spain? Do I have to go back home for vaccination?
Thanks for replies
Dean
My name is Mike and I live here in Orihuela Costa for 8 years now. I’ve come down here to work as a computer and network technician and have fulfilled my dream by becomming selfemployed.
My family, my wife and daughter, came down here with me and we are all well and are making a nice living. Back in Germany, our native home country, we didn’t realy feell comfortable any more. So we decided to come to Spain all together and we’re still happy about our decision.
This blog is for all people living anywhere but have some kind of connection to Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja, the Costa Blanca or just Spain.
Tell the world what you think about the decision you’ve made or haven’t. Maybe you’re just having similar thoughts or have regreted the decision. No matter how you are conneted to Spain, tell others about it.
Greetz,
Mike
