I don’t know whether it is a birthday or a milestone but the next post I put up on Houses For Sale In Spain will be the 500th post on the site. To celebrate I am going to eat a cake! However for my clients it will mean a huge difference because there is going to be an announcement that will surprise and delight in equal measure.

Walking around Valencia yesterday I thought I would take a few photos of offline businesses that have set up in Valencia recently.
I decided from a very young age that I didn’t want to live in the UK and Spain seemed a rather natural place to come and live as it was close enough to what I used to call home to not feel too isolated yet exotic enough to be different.
Living in Spain is rather strange at times. I have said before in these pages that Spanish life is rather conformist, what one person does successfully everybody else follows in general. Successful estate agents beget copycat models, and the same can be said of academies, theme bars, delicatessens and a huge etcetera. Google is the absolute killer in this area though because people started to use it and everybody else followed. Loads copied but none got traction. In fact just like in English there is a phrase which says “Look for it in Google”, ie Google it.
I was reading a post on Lifestyle Design for You from my online mate Gordie Rogers the other day and it got me thinking. His question was whether Lifestyle Design was dead. If you are not sure what lifestyle design is by now then read on. The comments and debate were interesting because Lifestyle Design has been described, erroneously in my opinion, as a hedonistic pursuit of self gratification for young single people. Read his post and comments for more as you can find the link below in the related reading section.
A report has just been leaked to the press that the black economy in Spain now makes up 23.3% of all transactions. This means that a quarter of the economy in Spain doesn’t show up on the official figures for the size of the GDP for example. The figure is 5% higher than a decade ago and it is getting higher due to the famous “Crisis”.
