I just signed up because the site looks interesting and similar to one I am member of here in Spain. I was born in Scotland and only moved here approx 3 yrs ago. We visit Uk frequently, just returned from 2750 mile round trip on motor bike

While in Scotland I saw a lovely moth like beastie, I will post the pic when I move it to the Gallery here, seems like you cant use another site to post from

Anyway hello from me

Hola vjl from sunny southern Essex

Welcome to WAB.

I have visited Andalucia twice before and I remember 2 things .... (a) it was VERY hot and (b) excellent Mediterranean birds.

Enjoy the website.

Hello and welcome from sunny Holland. I look forward to seeing your moth like beastie - it sounds intriguing. You can put a photo of it in the unidentified Gallery or forum images and put it straight into a post from there, check this link it should help

Hola and welcome to the forum.

My partner and I bought a house in the Jaen Province of Andalucia a couple of years ago that we used for long holidays. We are now selling to move a bit closer to the coast and airport as the travelling was getting us down. We found the weather inland really hot in summer (over 40C) and very cold in winter, which is thankfully very short, but the people are really friendly and the cost of living very very cheap
