anyone living and spain and what part????

[steff1stbabysep06]

would just like to meet and chat to people living in Spain, to hear of their experiences etc etc!! x

Hi, I live in Estepona on the Costa Del Sol. There are quite a few mumsnetters in Spain. Look forward to chatting to you.

hi lucy,
Is there a group or something on mumset for people who live in Spain? i live on the outskirts of Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca..how long have you lived in Spain for?

Hello fellow Spain Dwellers. I am living in a village in the mountains just east of Malaga. Would like to know if any of you have had a baby in Spain. I have a son, born in the UK, but I am pg now and having to make decisions about whether to have the baby here or go back to the UK.

Hi there - I live in Malaga itself - been in Spain for nearly 6 years now and I had both my
DS's here.... cat me if you like!

Hello, i forgot about this thread. I had my dd in Uk but am due to have my baby here in December.

Steff, I have lived here for 2.6 years so far. There isn't a particular thread for us Spain dwellers but you have just started one

hi can anyone tell me what formulas are available in spain?

formulas - nestle and milupa. there's another one made by the people who make sma but you can only buy that in chemists and it's expensive. no cow and gate.

thenamegame - really - you'd consider going back to the uk for potentially 6 weeks before the birth plus however long it takes to get a passport afterwards? that'd be awkward wouldn't it? anyway hospital care here good but v old fashioned by uk standards ( they still have stirrups in some places and there is no birth pool in the whole of andalucia). I wrote an article about it here

apparently theres one called almiron made by the cow & gate people. is this expensive too?

that's the one you can only buy in chemists. I seem to remember it's expensive, yes.

the cheap one here is called Hero - dd used to have that.

how long ago did you live in mijas costa then?

erm 3 years ago I think. memory a bit crap. we lived in clahonda (mijas costa is a sort of sprawl of "urbanisations"). my fave restaurant has just burned down though so I'm not much use in the recommendations dept.

oops wrong thread!!

the place we are going to is called "riviera del sol" in mijas costa.

also can anyone tell me if american express cards are widely accepted in spain?
