Expat helpNot sure if I am allowed to advertise this but I help run a website for people living in Spain, although we have a few members from Portugal and France too, and I thought I would share it with you guys, they are a friendly bunch, and it can get a little rowdy at times but the help given there is pretty good and Most are living in Spain so it may help those living there already.Hope its OK to post it..... http://www.spain-forum.com/forums/index.php |

Are you moving to Spain Bluedog? (Apologies if I've missed this somewhere  )

Looks harmless enough to me.  Bit of a TotalFrance, but for Spain type thing. TotalFrance has been helpful to us on occasion so I'm sure your site will be helpfull to expats living in Spain.

I lived in Spain for years and we were toying with the idea, we wanted to set up an ecco tented holiday thing with Bedouin tents as homes, but the work I had lined up to help us survive out there while we built the principle business up went bust, the company closed down completely (it was a mates company as well and he lost everything, home, everything!) so we got cold feet!
One day. |

.......... so if anyone wants a Bedouin or Persian Black tent to stay in just let me know! | ||||

What does a Bedouin or a Persian Tent look like

Black Tents http://www.moorishcaravan.com/catalog/images/newsflash/tent01.jpg Bedouin tents I have two of the black ones and three bedouin ones, all in storage, made of silk in India by a friends mum who owns a textiles company out there. |

I have one of the stoves as well, and man is it toastie! It gets so hot sometimes we turn it into a sauna! |
||||
| Bluedog |
Maybe one day, if we can sort out finance so that we have a buffer zone then it will be the first thing we do! |

Sorry it didn't work out for you Bluedog....as you say, one day eh?
Where in Spain were you - we are in Asturias and things good for us at the moment. |
||||
| Bluedog |
Then the site would be cool for you eh? I wanted to go inland in Andalucia, somewhere near the last of the Moors stronghold in and around Granada, that way we were going to do Moorish tours and Moorish themed stays..... |

I'll point my sister to the site too - she lives in Almeria (the province, not the town) I love that area of Spain. |

Well done Penny, I have little to do with it now I am not going, but I know the guy who runs it and its a real labour of love and a passion for him, and I like to help nice people. | ||||
