Why do people think they can move to Spain with a tiny budget and then get upset that they can only find little houses? They complain about everything they see and it is usually, the house is too small the bedrooms are too small [spanish houses are small unless you are loaded], the floors are hard [they are marble, Spanish houses have marble floors]. The other thing that winds me up is that they have no concept of where they are moving to. Today a couple said they will get a job in Gibraltar[ just because Gib is English speaking it doesnt mean you will walk into a job}

Sorry Im ranting but having lived here for 2 years I know how hard it can be and these people are like lambs to the slaughter. They seem to think that they can just move to Spain and everything will be rosey. They dont seem to know anything about the country they are moving to. I have seen so many people move here with very little money, no real plan or back up plan and most of them are gone within the year. Back to Uk but considerably poorer. Of course I was niave and things arent as I expected but at least I had done some research and had some idea of what I was going to. Sorry rant over!

Lucy5 was in the incoming Brits who pushed the prices up in the first place? I would imagine the Spanish wouldn't be too impressed at their attitudes.

I enjoy watching the programme but, like you, find the people really annoying. I wanted to move to Spain when I was younger but planned on living in a Spanish house, speaking Spanish rather than expecting them to speak English, especially if I were living in their country! Also I planned that when children came along they would go to a Spanish school. Now I wouldn't, definitely not ever to move to one of those awful estates that seem prevalent, identikit houses they look just like holiday apartments.
