Stupidity, greed or innocence, what do you think? I was reminded of this today as i am sitting in a cafe in Villamarchante waiting for some clients and this audioboo involved Villamarchante.

Weird coincidences when looking at Valencia Property

I just made this Audioboo and thought that you might want to hear it. If I made this sale it would just be the strangest thing.

Great Value Property For Sale or Rent in La Pobla De Vallbona

Living in a village has many advantages over living in a villa outside of town, less need to use a car, more public transport options and lots of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. I live in La Pobla and one of my neighbours has decided to sell or rent their property which shares my garden. This means we have the advatages of a villa, a garden and pool we can use at any time, while at the same time having the advantages of living in the town.

The house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens, two living areas, two terraces and a washroom in the 135m2 total. It shares the large and verdant garden with 21 other houses. Just 100 yards away you have a Mercadona supermarket, a large sports centre and the bus stop for getting into Valencia if you don't fancy using the car and the town is served by a metro line too. Take a look at the pictures and get in touch. 

For sale at 180000 Euros or for rent (Or rental with an option to buy) at 550 Euros.

I got interviewed about the new iPad magazine. Read the why here!

I was interviewed by Sarah at Birds on the Blog about my latest venture, the iPad magazine on the Magcast platform about Spanish Property. Take a look at the interview at the link and get back to me with your thoughts. Is this something you could do in your business?

Another Review of the iPad Spanish Property Magazine

I am absolutely loving the reviews and feedback I am getting on the iPad Spanish Property Magazine. The latest mail I got was lovely so i thought I would reproduce some of it below:

"I have  had a look at the new magazine -"Well Done!!!"

Liked being able to view YouTube videos all in one spot, the presentation made sense as I moved through the magazine, the articles where interesting and the pictures/videos look so good on the iPad.

I was getting a little frustrated when I'd select a link that took me deeper into the magazine and then had flip back one page at a time to get back to where I was, THEN I FOUND, THE INSTRUCTIONS made it a lot easier. I keep telling myself to read instructions before I start something but foolishly, I rarely do.

Normally, I am not a big fan of Facebook, I just find Facebook pages way to busy, however, your link to Facebook took me to a page that actually works displays well, I liked it very much, I think it will be  a good source of info."

It goes on to give me some excellent suggestions for content for future issues and they will be put into place too. Thoughtful feedback is always appreciated and I love giving great information that people find useful too.

Must read before you plan to move to Spain

Another review about the ipad only Spanish Property Magazine. I could get used to this.

Must read before you plan to move to Spain

Must read before you plan to move to Spain

After reading the first issue I must say I am very impressed with the quality of the magazine. The articles are well written and give you a clear in-depth view of how life, business and real estate trade takes place in Spain. I specially like the top 100 tips for moving to Spain because they give you the little tips about moving to Spain and buying property is Spain. As you can see I am impressed and can't wait for the next issue to be made available on newsstand.

Better than a buying trip

The first review of my iPad based Spanish Property magazine is in. Why don't you download it too?

"I wasnt sure what to expect from an iPad magazine, but there is so much in here... Researching a move to a new country is difficuly and expensive, and you need to get your hands on a lot of different kinds of information. I love buying travel mags and watching property programmes, but this brings it all together - the solid info, realistic advice, and brilliant videos that bring it all alive and make you feel like you're living there already. I really look forward to issue 2!"

Mike and Julie visit Valencia… and love it

What happens when someone comes to visit Valencia for the first time. (The surliness of the waiters must be a universal thing here) 

Pastedgraphic-1

We don’t suffer from “Island Fever” which is where Lanzarote residents have a need to escape the island for a few days, however we do like to go exploring particularly other Canary Islands and the mainland of Spain. Normally we fly to Madrid for shopping and a big city experience, this time Valencia was calling as the F1 crew were in town for the Valencia Street Circuit race. We took advantage of a Ryanair offer securing flights for a total price of just over €100 including our residents discount, they would have been €50 but we included a suitcase which doubled the price. Hotel accommodation was proving expensive, rates were high for that particular weekend with even basic hostels charging over €100 per night. We found availability for a good price at the 4* Hotel Turia which was situated back from the coast, overlooking a park, next to the bus station and a metro station.
