Community Issues
Community Rules, by laws and yet more rules. Are we free to do what we want in our homes?
15 years ago, I bought an apartment in a beautiful quiet complex on the Mijas road. The complex was only a few years old and most owners were retired or second holiday home owners. That was just what I wanted; somewhere nice and quiet. There were hardly any rules required. In fact the community rules
Renewable energy for your home and community of property owner
It is no secret that Spain has one of the highest electricity prices in Europe. Have you ever wondered how could this be?

Lunch with Sidney Owen, president of Las Terrazas de Santa Maria Golf
