Hi 

Can anyone suggest a winter rental agency who let's properties for a month Jan Feb time, in Malaga City or near Malaga Beach area? Small apartment with 2 bedrooms. TIA

I am seeing a lot of cars I am interested in the area from Malaga to Fuengirola and I need a garage or mechanic who is prepared to carry out an inspection to help me decide if I should buy or not. Is there anyone out there that somebody can recommend one please. 

I'm looking to take a train from Barcelona to Montpellier, France for a few days.  Then train to Lyon, France for a few days. Then to Paris and take the Eurostar to London for a day.  Then to Edinburgh for a week.   Has anyone done this? What train line do you recommend?  Thank you

Can anyone recommend a English speaking firm who can assist with non lucrative visa application and or property purchase

Useful notes streaming UK TV Spain and IPTV 

1. Re- selling others broadcasters copyright material is illegal unless a licence. 

2. No such agreements agreements for IPTV have been published for Spain with UK broadcasters, copyright content makes it almost impossible without substantial costs and rights issues. 

3. IPTV operators can normally carry FTA channels in their 'own country,' In UK viewers just need  a TV licence.

4. Programme content has global internet geo restrictions due to copyright content. (A VPN can avoid this and show location as your own country, for example UK) 

5. Even FTA broadcasters like SKY News or CNN have problems streaming via You Tube, music rights being an example, the reason Sky News or CNN have no commercials on You Tube.

6. There is no ban on individuals using private VPN's and very popular for watching streamed home country content, most broadcasters will however ask for a home country address. (Which I'm sure most can provide) 

7. People can use things like Fire Sticks connected to TV HDMI input, plus now Mini PC's are very cheap, below Amazon link PC  'just 100 Euros' with this combined with a 'VPN service' and  HDMI lead blue tooth keyboard, people can load things like BBC iPlayer and other TV links, watch You Tube and also surf the internet for very little money.

8. Every now and again raids takes place on IPTV operators for pirating and re-selling TV services, to include those who offered bootleg TV with internet packages. See BBC link. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47653654

9. People can also buy their own IPTV box and install a VPN link https://surfshark.com/use-cases/vpn-for-iptv

Hi everyone, I am thinking  seriously about buying a house/ bungalow/apartment somewhere in southern Spain to spend the winter away from Northern Ireland. I know little about Spain and would really welcome any advice about where is a good area to buy a reasonably priced property, possibly close to the sea and a garden would be great. I really do wish to steer clear of buying in a huge apartment block so I realise I'm narrowing my options somewhat. Has anyone any good ideas of a nice area to buy and of good local estate agents. Thank you very much in advance, May

Hi Everyone

New to forum. My wife and I will be staying in Competa for two weeks in June. Can anyone help/advise with a recommendation of a car hire business outside of the Airport who would collect us from the airport to the hire office around 10am. Looking to hire for two weeks and return to the hire centre at around 3am in the morning for a drop off back to the airport - 06:10 flight home. I understand the Airport companies have  extra costs/bad reputation. I want full insurance cover with no problems. 

I thank you all in advance. 

Terry.
