Hola from sunny southern Spain

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.

Richard

Re: Hola from sunny southern Spain

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 .

Re: Hola from sunny southern Spain

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

Yes, welcome.
You might also be interested in Wild About the World - see the very bottom left of the screen! Has a wider scope than WAB although you'll find a lot of the same people there!

Re: Hola from sunny southern Spain

thanks again for the super welcome this does seem to be a good site

some of you are a wee bit nutty though I think

We are about 12 k west of Sevilla, Spains 3rd city and a cracking one at that well worth a visit and the surrounding area is great for wild life lovers

Sevilla .... I remember it well from the very hot days during EXPO 92 .... I am sure it has changed a lot though in the last 15 years.
