Hi there! Does anyone know of hiking groups/ walking groups in the general vicinity of Jimena de la Frontera and surrounding towns? I'll be spending a few months in the area early next year and would love to link up with a hiking group. Thanks. Tom

Hello all!

I'm putting this post out in hopes of finding a long lost friend from years ago who I lost contact with. Like finding a needle in a haystack, but I need to try!

The person I am looking for is called Adrian, and he is 28 years old, having been born on the 28th October 1995.

I have come to believe he lives in El Puerto de Santa Maria, due to the photo he once sent me when he was waiting for the train once, it matches up with Estación tren Puerto Santa María - if you could all help me find him I would be very grateful!

Hi all,

I’m looking to buy a secondhand car as a runaround. As cheap as chips please (in fact, I probably can’t afford chips). We’re looking on Milanuncios, Wallapop, the usual and fairly obvious places but would very much appreciate local knowledge. We’re in Chipiona but are happy to travel. Something around the Ford Fiesta/Ka size although any make is fine. Price? Cake and eat it (also struggle to buy cake). Any ideas will be very gratefully received. Thanks.

I highly recommend Federico - he speaks 4 languages and is very knowledgeable.

Hi there,

I recently moved to the region of Vejer de la Frontera with my family of 4. Our house is on the outskirts of Vejer near San Ambrosio. My oldest son goes to school in Zahora and we found a daycare in the neighbourhood as well. However, we are still finding our way and in need of some advice or likeminded people around.

My smallest boy is just over a year old and he should get some vaccines done that are obligatory. However I really don't know where to go knocking to get these done. The medical center in Vejer is closed? and we have been to Barbate to get some medical assistance and I was a bit shocked by the unwillingness to help, or their standoffish manner of reacting. As we do not speak fluently we are perceived as the stupid foreign people. However I understand everything very well.

Is there any advice for foreign people where it is best to get medical advice and assistance? Or just someone who could assist us.

A trustworthy medic?

Hi everyone i am from Philippines and I am searching for job.i live here in chiclana for more than 4rys  I speak little spanish! 

There are over 500,000 UK Ex-pats living in France and Spain many of whom are retired old age pensioners.

About 10 years ago Iain Duncan Smith called for wealthy pensioners who do not need benefit payments such as winter fuel allowance and free bus passes benefit payments should voluntarily hand back the money to the government. I would enjoy reading the audited statistics of the money repaid.

Shock horror when all UK Ex-Pats living in France and Spain had their Winter Fuel Allowance cancelled.

The then Work and Pensions Secretary explained that calculations were made on official temperature figures for each country, based on a five month winter that represents the coldest time of the year in the UK, matching existing criteria used by the government for other forms of cold weather payment.

In response to questions about recognising the variance of temperatures depending on altitude and region, Mr Duncan Smith said the government had looked at a system of weighting temperatures for areas with heavy populations of British pensioners, as opposed to calculating using figures for each whole country. But as the highest concentrations of British pensioners were often found in the warmer parts of European countries, it would have meant at least as many countries would be excluded as under the adopted scheme, if not more.

On the complaint that warmer overseas territories of countries like France, Spain and Portugal had skewed the results for British pensioners in those countries, the Work Minister said that European law would have to be changed for France’s Caribbean islands, Spain’s Canary Islands and Portugal’s Atlantic islands not to be included in the calculations.

The changes implemented including the system of weighting meant that the measurement of temperature was altered to suit the new criteria thus denying UK Ex-Pat pensioners the Winter Fuel Allowance

For those of us UK Ex-pats that live full-time in France and Spain

we know just how cold the winter months may be.

Moving to chiclana and I’m looking for gardening work.I have 20 years experience and currently a head gardener for a parish council. I’m relocating for a better quality of life.

We have for sale a pine dining table and four chairs. We are only selling as it was too big for our kitchen and we wanted a change.

The table legs have been dismantled for easier transportation.
