Why would you want to keep in touch? Well a few examples.

• One client was watching a property and noticed it had been reduced in price considerably. He immediately put an offer in and was able to secure it at a price well below market value. A good job because in the two days following there were eight other serious enquiries at this price.


• Another client was able to secure a great rate on money transfer as they found on Twitter a movement in currency that only lasted a day. The transfer was worth almost 2000 pounds more for them compared with doing it a day later.


• Clients already here have been to events in Valencia due to keeping an eye on our feed of Valencia news.


• Other clients found that the definitive list of Spanish Twitterers was very useful as it has put them in touch with people giving them the services they need and given them some great information along the way.

So sign up and things and you will find that you are much better informed. Also if you have an RSS feed reader you will also find feeds at all of the sites to sign up there. I appreciate your interest.

Driving Into Valencia - Hoces Del Cabriel

If you are looking for a nice day out from Valencia grab yourself a picnic and head up the Madrid motorway until you get to the turn off for the Hoes del Cabriel National Park. Things have changed around there since my first visit some 20 years ago when the trip from Madrid took about 8 hours because of the winding roads and traffic jams, these days you fly down in around 3 hours or two if you break the speed limits and are a bit mad.



The video was taken from the top of the dam which used to be the main road. The bridges you can see in the video are soon to be joined by another for the high speed rail link between Madrid and Valencia which should be complete by next year, we hope. Enjoy and keep coming back here and to www.valencia-property.com for more info.

Telefonica Doing My Head in Again

I have a new client here for Valencia Property at the moment and I am setting up everything for them including a phone line. I asked for it 10 days before they arrived and now they have been here for five, still no phone line. So for the last four days I have been ringing Telefonica. I have a business line so i have to ring from that. This connects me up automatically with the Negocios (Business) section. The required line is a home phone, residential. Therefore they cannot help me, even though they can but more of that later, and they have to put me through to their residential section. What happens? The call gets cut off. So on the third day and on the point of throttling my phone, one of their operators tells me that oh yes we are having problems transferring calls from one department to the other. (Let me remind you at this point what Telefonica is, (THEY ARE A TELECOMS COMPANY) So they tell me to phone 1485 which leads me to exactly the same problem.

Anyway, today, the 4th day of my odyssey, I start getting really tired of them cutting me off and not calling to do the urgent installation, oh yes on Tuesday one of the operators who cannot do anything, did something and put an urgent request through to the residential section but that hasn't produced any result yet. So I stop the operator in mid flow and say
"Look, you are about to cut me off I need another number to ring"
"We don't have one but if you are asked for the number to type in when you ring up in the options type 999999999 and that will take you through to the residential area."

Just a couple of questions
1 Why didn't they tell me this five years ago never mind three days ago?
2 Why can't they patch a call through to their own offices?
3 Why are the a virtual bloody monopoly?

So I get through o the right department, result, and they ask me the obvious question,
"What, they haven't called you yet then?"
"Er no, if they had I wouldn't be ringing you"
"OK I will mark it down as urgent."

And so the story goes on. I just love Telefonica
