On The Telly in Spain

Me and my mate lil (also known as lily the pink) had a fun time making our TV debut here in Spain. “The Life” programme on Television Vega Baja is in its infancy and its good to be involved in what we hope will be a big success. We also hope as time goes by it will be extended to more than an hour a day.
We were on the programme talking about living here, looking at the news and commenting on it. We were very glad to find we were to share the platform with a professional actor, Nick Moore, who teaches English in Orihuela. We were interested to here about the Networks Theatre productions in which he is involved. You can find out all about them at www.networksenglishstudies.com. I recommend you take a look they have some wonderful productions coming up.
As I have said it was really fun to take part and we did get asked back so we must not have disgraced ourselves. I do hope more and more English speakers will contact Yolanda who presents the Life programme and offer to appear, the more input there is the better the programme will be.

Orihuela padron rules

It appears that Orihuela town hall have changed the padron laws and that anyone who applies for padron must have a residencia certificate, Orihuela are the first municipality in the region to bring this into force, Torrevieja have not yet recieved any instructions but may well in the near future.
Amongst other things this will cause problems for persons without residency wishing to register a vehicle in Spain as you need a padron certificate to register the vehicle in your name and pay SUMA on it.
Many second home owners in Spain keep a car here for using while they are visiting.
