Need some reasons to stay

I just had a really bad few days. I'm telling myself that it really isn't Spain, it's just one of those periods you go through. There seem to be an awful lot of them lately. So I find myself thinking about leaving.

I could use some reasons to stay. Help!

I completely understand how you feel. I feel like that all the time, even after four years of being here. I think that I want to go home, back to the UK, but really, it would be like starting again, in a foreign country, so much has changed back home, and not much of it for the better.

Keep your chin up and keep smiling, you are not alone!!

Fay - You mean it isn't goin to go away? We haven't been here terribly long, and what you write makes me think that if we are going to go back we should do it now. Otherwise moving back may be even more difficult than staying.

Indeed you're not alone !

I'm looking to emigrate again.

They have no respect here for nature, no respect for animals, no respect for the neighbours....the land is dirty (no recycling for 85%), the bureaucrazy doesn't turn right, Etccc

But there is the SUN, and the sea and...a micro climate. My dogs artrosis doesn't hurt anymore...

So every place, every country has it good points and its bad points...so be it

I will keep some land with a house and sell the rest ...I ll always have a place to come back to on holiday and the rest I ll sell so I can start fresh somewhere else.

Don 't worry, won't leave yet...need my visa first...can take some time...

Will enjoy the rest of my time here !

Well, as I posted elsewhere, we're planning a two-week vacation in Ireland. Maybe I'll appreciate it more when I get back.
