Life in Spain

The other evening Iwas sat on the patio looking at the mountains and I wondered how different life would have been if we had moved into a town when we moved to Spain instead of moving to the campo. (Countryside)

Where we live is about as far into the mountains that you can get before coming out the other side.If you get home and have forgotten something from the supermarket its a case of waiing until you go into town again.

I wonder if a lot of people in the towns know what its like to live in the campo. For a start there are no amenities like street lights, rubbish collection or postal deliveries, there is no mains water supply, all water is pumped from your own well or brought in by road tanker. the road surface is usually bad.

So why live there? you may ask. Well for one thing the scenery is fantastic, the local people are really friendly and you can find peace and tranquility. Also the wildlife is great. During the spring the place becomes a riot of colour with wild flowers and almond blossom. During the summer we have eagles and griffins in the sky.

All these things make it a fantastic place to live, but as I have pointed out there are always plus and minus pointd. Anyway when I look at the whole I think that we are lucky in that we have the best of both worlds, both town and country. It certainly gives a more balanced look at life in Spain.
