Good luck, Dave
Thanks, all very helpful suggestions.

Just to expand on them though.

1) I am looking for employment obviously but I don't want to live in an 18-30's playground. Any ideas?
2) Always. Spanish culture is everything to me. I love the food, the language, the football, the music but most of all I love the people and their attitude towards family life.
3) Great tip, I probably would have done but sometimes the most obvious things are the ones you miss.
4) Even as a young child I always spoke the language when I could as it is about bettering yourself but even more so, respect.
