About A LOAD OF BULLFor about half of the time I’ve lived in
Spain, I’ve known Dave, and enjoyed
his off-the-wall writing-style – indeed,
have followed with interest his similar
life-style. If you’re looking for a serious
account of life in this very un-European
country, then perhaps ‘A Load of Bull’
is not for you. But who said that life
here – or anywhere else, for that mat-
ter – was serious?
This book is a collection of anecdotes,
many about Spain and the Spanish,
some about the experience of being
an ‘expat,’ (not a term I embrace with
much joy) and others which could oc-
cur in Dorking or Dortmund – but cer-
tainly not in Deauville, as the author
makes clear his antipathy to our mu-
tual neighbours.
What is common to all Dave’s writing
is his capacity for enjoyment, undimin-
ished by the setbacks he has encoun-
tered along the way, and I don’t see
how anyone can fail to be amused by
his accounts.
Dave has also cultivated a profound
love for his adopted Mediterranean
stamping ground – I reckon you’ll find
him dunking croissants into his coffee
in Juande’s in twenty years’ time – and
this shines as bright as the Costa Blan-
ca sunshine throughout this unusual
narrative.
Malcolm Palmer
author & ornithologist
No matter what slant they decide to put on the news in the UK about just how bad
things apparently are here in Spain they never seem to get it quite right do they? In
fact if you believed the news, whether printed or on TV, then you too would be witness-
ing the ‘many expats now living on the streets of Spain…’ now, apart from a good few
teenagers who earn the right on a Friday and Saturday night to live, drink, eat, vomit
then sleep on the streets of Spain - I haven’t seen families of Brits, Swedes, Germans
or even French pushing shopping trolleys up the side of the N332 or living in doorways
of banks either.
In fact, the more people I talk to the more positive things seem. In my area of Gran
Alacant alone I can name at least half a dozen businesses that have started up, and are
doing well, and there are many more cases up and down the coast of businesses not
only surviving in Spain but flourishing.
Take our colleagues at The Coastrider who are expanding into Benidorm, or estate
agent Sharon Hulbert, who features in this month’s magazine, who has started her own
businesses helping expats relocate to Spain.
Coys Cars are preparing for an extra busy year with bookings breaking expectations
and our own new venture, Hot Dog T-shirts has hit the ground running (and panting
now…) with orders and enquiries for work wear seeing us heading up and down (and in
and out) of the Costa Blanca.
Most expats living in Spain are doing ok thank you very much and it seems, to me, that
its people who live abroad and rely on their home press to inform that are getting a con-
fusing, a mostly inaccurate, message. So just let them know would you...? A little gloat-
ing about how you’re out in a busy cafe with other happy expats and locals enjoying the
sunshine goes a long way don’t you think? And if there are some expats maybe looking
a little scruffy and worse for wear..? It’s more than likely because they want to be...
Things are moving in Spain, despite the doom mongers, and anyway, if we are all skint
– I know which country, out of the UK and Spain, I’d rather be skint in…
SPAIN’S DOING FINE THANKS!

Following my article in last month’s
edition as regards the declaration of
worldwide assets for foreign residents
in Spain I will give you more informa-
tion as now released by the Spanish
tax authorities.
The declaration (Model 720) is to
inform the tax authorities of values
and assets abroad (outside of Spain
that is). The form consists of three
blocks, one for bank accounts situ-
ated abroad, another for real estate
and rights on the same, and a third
one for securities, insurances and in-
come that is deposited, managed or
generated abroad. If a person has as-
sets for any of these block/s exceed-
ing 50.000,- Euros those have to be
filled in.
To be precise, each block is to be
considered as a separate obligation
although all the information is taken
in the same form.
In case of non-fulfil lment, the mini-
mum fine for each block in which
the information was not presented is
10.000,- Euros.
I will try and make this a little bit
clearer:
If a person has assets exceed-
ing 50.000,- € in each block, i.e. a
house worth 80.000,- €, bank account
60.000,- € and income as described
for block three worth 55.000,- €, and
fails to present the declaration the
fine will be 10.000,- € for each block,
that means a total minimum fine of
30.000,- €.
If the person has i.e. a house worth
80.000,- € and a bank account with
30.000,- €, only the block for real
estate has to be filled in. Failing to
present the declaration would in this
case result in a minimum fine of
10.000,- Euros, for the non-declara-
tion of the house exceeding the set
value.
Important to know is that the informa-
tion of bank accounts abroad with a
balance exceeding 50.000,- Euros on
31st December has to be given even if
there is more than one account holder.
In this case the total balance is given
with the indication of the percentage
of the holder.
I hope this has made things a little
clearer. No doubt there will be more
questions which I will follow up.

With an emphasis on clarity and transparency towards the customer, an exciting new website is now at the fingertips of all those interested in buying, selling or renting a prop-erty. With the initial target market being Spain - and the Costa Blanca in particular - 1stchoicespain.com is being developed to be the “1st Choice” for professionals serious about finding a portal for their clients that works.
As we all know, either from experience or through frustration, it is not
only property information that new customers and investors seek and
often need; there is a whole host of other details that are necessary
and through this new website clients will find the answers they need
without having to spend all day on the computer going from site to
site.
The ultimate aim of 1st Choice World is to provide a complete range
of property and home services to Real Estate professionals in multiple
international markets and to bring related activities together to make
a “one stop shop” for potential buyers and investors. That is the in-
tention at 1st Choice World, to provide the full package of information
requirements, and just by taking a look at the website you’ll see that
they have thought about just what visitors to the site need.
For the Agents, buyers and sellers, there are promotions to look at,
also featured properties and a very handy mortgage calculator which
allows you to work out monthly payments including the interest rate,
a translator to give the site a truly multi-national feel and allowing po-
tential buyers and sellers full access to the comprehensive resources
available from 1st Choice World Limited.
For everyone
For professionals the website offers an exciting, and different, op-
portunity to showcase their Property Portfolio or Classified Goods and
Services in fact just about ANYTHING.

Sharon Hulbert
Working smart for youThe business of buying and selling house
has long been in Sharon Hulbert’s blood;
from her roots back in the Midlands to her
new business here on the Costa Blanca of
finding homes for clients that match their
needs and also their criteria too. Using her
many years of experience here in Spain she
is now looking after clients, old and new, with
her Rojales based company, Real Estate
Solutions.
Sharon knows her stuff that’s for sure and
will spend her time finding homes for anyone
thinking of moving to Spain, or just moving
around in Spain, meaning when the custom-
er is with her they are looking at properties
that fit the bill, and not wasting time on those
that don’t.
Real Estate Solutions predominantly assists
buyers in finding a property on the South
Costa Blanca which suits their lifestyle. Sha-
ron commented, “Everyone’s criteria is dif-
ferent and it’s my job to listen to my clients
needs and find the right properties for them.
As a Real Estate Consultant I am not tied
to any one agency and therefore I have the
freedom to source a property from the many
thousands available here on our wonderful
Costa Blanca, even those that are being
sold privately.
What’s ImportantThe key to having access to a wide range
of homes up and down the financial scale is
effective networking and that is exactly what
I do. I have a huge network of contacts on
the Costa Blanca and I can source the right
properties to match any client’s needs.
But most importantly is the fact that I love
living here!! And I want other people to love
it too! it gives me enormous pleasure in
matching my clients with their ideal home in
the Spanish sun, and more often than not we
end up as friends, and I get to show them the
wonderful life we have here!
Keep your home sale simpleReal Estate Solutions can also manage the
sale of your property and they can make
life , and the sale of your home easy and
stress free by letting Sharon work on your
behalf and using her contacts for your ben-
efit. There’s no sole agency agreements or
trawling around numerous local agents ask-
ing them to list your property and chasing
keys and appointments!
Real Estate Solutions will collate all the rel-
evant information, value your property and
then network it to their web of agents, man-
age the viewings and get feedback on your
property.
For more info, advice have a look at the website:www.realestatesolutionsspain.com or call Sharon for a home visit on:0034 634 327 938.
Real Estate Solutions offers a standard of service, experience and advice that all home-buyers and sellers can benefit from.
Moving to Spain? Buying a holi-day home on the Costa Blanca? Looking for a bargain property? Moving back to the UK? Having trouble selling in Spain? Need to find a builder, a lawyer, a fiscal representative, can’t read the lat-est electricity bill because it is in Spanish? The list goes on.
I have been asked all these ques-tions and more during over nine years of living and working in Spain. In fact, my office gradually became not only a local meeting point but a service centre for any-one needing assistance with expat life in Spain. Sharon.

Gran Alacant is one of those few plac-es where old Spain blends with mod-ern Europe; the hill is home to a wide range of Europeans (other nations are well represented too amongst the populace but Europeans (especially The British) make up more than 50% of its current population meaning that the area is a cosmopolitan mix of peo-ple, shops, bars and businesses unlike
most places in Spain.
In 2001 the boom started in Gran Alacant
and the ‘hill’ began to fill very quickly with
foreigners, Spanish residents and holiday
makers ready to take their place in the
sun and following on from the those early
homes all of a sudden many more urbani-
sations were being completed, and all of
them (bar none) sold out well before they
were actually built.
Modern meets old
Although some may describe Gran Alacant
as a ‘modern’ area it has some history too
and established urbanisations - as well as
the more recently built ones – offer fantas-
tic views, especially at night. The bay of
Alicante is like a flame to a moth for many
(especially if you find yourself in one of the
rooftop bars overlooking the city) and Elche
and Santa Pola offer an attractive and al-
ternative view too.
Good looking
Along with a good aspect from one window
or another (or the terrace), most proper-
ties in the area have access to a modern
swimming pool (some have tennis/football
pitch too) for residents that are be well-
maintained throughout the year.
Security
Closed urbanisations offer great security if
you have little ones running around and all
swimming pools have a gate to keep them
in the complex and your eye safely upon
them or if hitting the beach is your choice
then you will be spoilt for choice as Gran Al-
acant has some of the best beaches avail-
able on the Coast and if you include Santa
Pola in the equation it can boast around 16
kilometres of clean sand and a sparkling
sea.
FacilitiesThe area is fully covered by all services these days with its own post office, town hall, local police station and doctor’s clinic. A modern primary school, a petrol station a 24 hour chemist along with spas gyms and much more, Gran Alacant is modern Spain at its best – it even has its own light-house, proving that here old Spain really
does meet the new.
Location
along with its wonderful setting on top of
the cliffs of Santa Pola, Gran Alacant also
boasts a close proximity to the historical
sea port of Alicante and its modern airport
and the quaint and charming city of Elche;
both of which are just fifteen minutes away
by car and with Benidorm (45 mins) not too
far away the things to do list may well need
to be extended a little.
Eating out
Foods from around the world and around
the corner (fresh Santa Pola seafood) of-
fer the adventurous gourmet a rich menu
to choose from but if all else fails to keep
the little, the kids will find a McDonalds five
minutes away!
Nearby...
Santa Pola
Santa Pola quickly takes you back to Ro-
man times. It was here where the Portus
Illicitanus, the Roman ruins, were found.
The Roman House of the Palmeral which
was built during the Low Imperial era and
the Roman factory for pickling and salting
fish from the 4th century B. C. are also re-
minders of the era.
Santa Pola extends from both side of the
Renaissance Castle-Fortress built in the
16th century to defend itself from pirate
attacks. Found in the city centre it has a
military appearance and houses the Ar-
chaeological Museum where you can find
Iberian and Roman relics. Also located here
is the Fishing Museum with a wide selec-
tion of maritime objects and an interesting
aquarium.
Elche
Small but well endowed....with history, ar-
chitecture and of course restaurants and
cafes!
As the great bike-maker Sir Walter Raleigh
once said, ‘There are an awful lot of ben-
efits to getting on a push bike and riding
around a city…’
you can rent a bicycle in Elche city for next
to nothing and take a touristic trip around
the city and stopping off at the odd café
for something refreshing and a bite to eat
means you get to see just what there is to
see in Elche – without having to slow down
in the car and endure the wrath of an im-
patient bus/car/lorry driver.
Alicante
north of Gran Alacant is Alicante, full of
all the usual delights of a city and one
where (on a Sunday) visitors can rummage
around at the antiques fair before crossing
time (and a road) and discovering just one
of the things that is so good about modern
Alicante...the Beach Clubs.
There’s nothing wrong with stopping on
the way at the Chill Out Bar in Urbanova (5
minutes), great views and a lovely beach,
and who’s going to begrudge you a break
fast of toast and coffee on the Med’?
the Stamp Fair - parking isn’t too much of
a problem and the two car parks alongside
the port (after Panoramis shopping centre)
are rarely if ever full, and both are only a
short walk from the town hall where you’ll
find antiques, stamps and much more.

Sunny days (mostly), sleepy afternoons and delicious cuisine, Spain is not bad at this time of year, is it? The beaches are clear but bathed in sun andf often fun seekers and many of us begin to find it easy to understand exactly why the Spanish have a siesta – and especially in July and August. Anyway, away from the beaches and the coast what is there for the tourist and/or the expat wanting to see a bit of his foreign home?
Apart from some amazing mountains surrounding the area there are an awful lot of places to visit just away from the coast. Quesada is one of them and is relatively new to the Costa Blanca land-scape but in a short time has evolved into a fine multi-cultural town.
The large bustling town of Torrevieja is just ten miles away with hundreds of bars, restaurants etc, and a lovely sea-side promenade with a night time market but in Quesada you have your own bus-tling town that comes with shops, bars, restaurants, a golf course – and its own water park.
Alicante and Murcia airports are only 30 miles and the nearest beach is within 10 minutes drive away. If you are a golfer, then they are many professional golf courses, Villamartin, Las ramblas and Campoamar are a short drive away, not forgetting the much improved La Mar-quesa in Ciudad Quesada itself. The local water park is open every day during the summer months and I know from expe-rience that parents can relax in the sun (or shade) while the kids clear off, I mean go and play, and generally amuse them-selves – although the crossing the palm with gold rule applies at this point.
Torrevieja’s open markets are open every day too in summer and an abundance of flamingos and other wildlife on the saltlakes of the area is pleasant on the eye. As a bonus, the area is the second healthiest place in the world and the healthiest in Europe which is mainly due to the saltlakes.
So there you have it…if you’re reading this in the UK or perhaps on the plane on the way home following a holiday out here with us then I apologise for nothing.
You see not only have we got the beach-es, the weather, the fine food and cheap beer but, just to put a little bit of extra sweet icing on top of an already mouth watering cake -we also live in the healthi-est place in Europe. If you ask nicely at Gatwick they might send you back – if not just tell them you’ve got a speeding ticket in the UK I understand that comes with deportation these days…

Well March is now upon us and things are starting to pick up here on the Cos-ta’s entertainment wise, this month I have decided to feature a great enter-tainer who is very popular here in Spain and that’s Mr Andy Jones....Andy started his career 46 years ago as an entertainer at the tender age of 10.

1. Isaac and Albert were excitedly de-scribing the result of the Third Annual International Science Fair Extravagan-za in Sweden. There were three con-testants, Louis, Rene, and Johannes. Isaac reported that Louis won the fair, while Rene came in second. Albert, on the other hand, reported that Johannes won the fair, while Louis came in sec-ond.
In fact, neither Isaac nor Albert had given a correct report of the results of the science fair. Each of them had given one correct statement and one false statement. What was the actual placing of the three contestants?
2. At a family reunion were the fol-lowing people: one grandfather, one grandmother, two fathers, two moth-ers, four children, three grandchildren, one brother, two sisters, two sons, two daughters, one father-in-law, one mother-in-law, and one daughter-in-law. But not as many people attended as it sounds. How many were there, and who were they?
3. 97 baseball teams participate in an annual state tournament. The cham-pion is chosen for this tournament by the usual elimination scheme. That is, the 97 teams are divided into pairs, and the two teams of each pair play against each other. The loser of each pair is eliminated, and the remaining teams are paired up again, etc. How many games must be played to determine a champion?
4. Your sock drawer contains ten pairs of white socks and ten pairs of black socks. If you’re only allowed to take one sock from the drawer at a time and you can’t see what color sock you’re taking until you’ve taken it, how many socks do you have to take before you’re guaranteed to have at least one matching pair?
It's a toughy! It's EASY!
SOLUTIONS:
1.Answer: Johannes won; Rene came in sec-ond; Louis came in third2. There were two little girls and a boy, their par-ents, and their father’s parents, totaling seven people3. 96. All teams but the champion team will lose a game exactly once4. Three. In the worst case, the first two socks you take out will consist of one black sock and one white sock. The
next sock you take out is guaranteed to match one or the other.

With the title race all but over, the battle for the top four and for
top-flight status has become the main focus in the Premiership.
Leaders Manchester United have been in imperious form. They have man-
aged to build a massive 12 point lead over second placed City. It would take
a very confident man to bet against them taking back the Premiership title
from rivals City, despite the Citizens impressive 2-0 win against Chelsea
last weekend.
With City all but safe for a top four position, they have nothing left to fight
for this season. There are many teams, however, that do.
Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, and West Brom are all still contend-
ing for third and fourth place in the Premiership. All teams would love to be
part of the Champions League, but for Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal it would
be a catastrophe should they fail to. The three London sides have strengths
and weaknesses and a lot to lose should they fail.
Firstly, you have Spurs who are currently sat just above Chelsea in third
place. Largely thanks to the stunning form of winger Gareth Bale, they have
won their last three EPL games. Their manager is producing the goods in
his second year as Premiership manager following an unsuccessful spell
at Chelsea. Spurs certainly have the quality to qualify for the Champions
League, and yet there are still worries over what would happen to them
should their talisman, Bale, get injured.
Chelsea have been in poor form. 5 wins and three losses from their pre-
vious 10 games is not good enough, and could cost them a vital fourth
place after losing third to Tottenham. It could be argued they have the
most quality out of the three London clubs and in Juan Mata they have
their own midfield maestro. Despite the Spaniards stunning form, Chelsea
still have some blatant weaknesses. They lack a brilliant, 20-goal striker.
They are also leaking too many goals, which has cost them many points.
Their inability to hold a lead is also worrying for under-fire manager Rafa
Benitez. A failure to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in
the Abramovich era would be a disaster for the Blues. Chelsea fans’ dreams
of Jose Mourinho returning would be dashed if they failed to qualify for
Europe’s greatest prize.
Arsenal also have an under-fire manager, with their long-reigning boss Ar-
sene Wenger being booed at several games this season. Despite this, and
despite having the weakest squad out of the three London sides, they are
only two behind Chelsea and have won 4 of their last 5 EPL matches. Not
qualifying for the first time in over 15 years would spell trouble for the
manager, though. Out of the three London sides they are the least likely to
get in. Despite this, we’ve seen them do it before and not many would put
it past them roaring back again.
With QPR seemingly resigned to life in the Championship again, and South-
ampton almost out of the relegation scrap, we also have three teams who
are dangerously close to the drop. One point separates Reading, Aston Villa
and Wigan. Although I’d expect Reading to go down, I cannot decide be-
tween Villa and Wigan. Wigan have the experience of being in this situation
before and the intelligence of their manager, Martinez, but Aston Villa have
some players of real quality. These players could be enough to keep their
EPL status - as long as they start trying!
Thanks for reading and I’ll catch you later after Easter.
PS: Congratulations to Swansea on the cup triumph!!
