I know its not easy, but I personally wouldnt ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever............ recommend renting a property without seeing it!! At best you dont get a true picture of the property (photos lie!), at worst you're asking to be scammed! Come over and do it when you're here
As for return of the deposit (Which shouldnt ever be more than one months rental) Most people dont pay the last months rent
just saw this after my last reply - & just remembered that you want a holiday let essentially - so the 'rental laws' don't apply
I still wouldn't pay more than a month rent upfront & a month deposit at the very most - I don't know anything about the law for holiday rentals though
never move into a property you haven't actually visited
for a proper rental contract you only legally have to pay 1 month rent in advance & 1 month as a deposit
as far as getting the deposit back......................good luck with that - I've yet to meet anyone who has actually managed to get their deposit back
I ought to point out that tenants are legally ovliged to pay the last months rent and landlords are legally obliged to pay back the deposit as long as the terms have been adhered to - hhhmmmm, as Xabiachica says, we've yet to hear of that happening!!!!

as I said though - that's for proper residential lets - I have no idea as to the rules on holiday lets - or whether you would even be legally required to pay a deposit
Ive been to spain before. Its a lovely country. Lovely enough to want to move there myself. My greatgrandparents are from vigo, and oh so many other great greats, etc from other Schengen Countries
Spain is a lovely country but its financially in a terrible mess, unemployment is high and its about to undergo some serious cuts and changes from its new government. But if you have funds to live on and if you make sure you are there legally, you should be ok
but with a little more time i am sure i can gain citizenship fairly easily..
so for now let it be a short holiday... and heres to not end up on the streets or in a hostal
