Most restaurant of the city is serving this Mediterranean cuisine, if you there and digging in, surely you can稚 forget the place and the foods.

Spanish housing market: a good time to buy in Andalusia? http://www.movingtoandalusia.com/2008/10/spanis... As I am looking to buy a house in the Andalusian Alpujarras I'm curious how the global economical crisis is affecting the real estate prices in this neck of the woods.
Type "Spanish housing market" into any old search engine and you'll get millions of results. Google gives you over 11.100.000 results, Yahoo! yields a whopping 22.100.000. Apparently, I'm not the only one who's curious.
So I figured I'd ask someone in the know and who better than real estate agent Mike Harbourne, though, as he stated himself, "Never trust a real estate agent!"
Living with Solar Energy http://www.movingtoandalusia.com/2008/12/living... For two weeks now we've lived solely on solar energy. It feels great, because we're so eco-friendly, not harming anyone, etc. However, there are some down sides to solar energy. A lot of appliances are simply Verboten. No toasters, no hairdryers, no electric heaters. They take up so much energy that they suck it all up and leave you stranded in the dark.
Also, when there's no sun, you're stuck. We've had two rainy days and then our energy was totally depleted. So there we were, sitting around with candles and the no-energy-alarm going off for two days. (it's two little beeps. All the time. If you stop and listen they'll drive you insane.)
Hotel Morisca Granada - Yay! (if you can find it幡) http://www.movingtoandalusia.com/2009/01/hotel-... What a difference a hotel makes! After our previous stay in Granada we didn't get what al the fuss was about. A rather drab, grubby and depressing city where all the houses appear to be for sale and most businesses seemed to be cosing down. Not somewhere we'd go again in a hurry. Then again, it is rather convenient, at a distance of exactly an hour from our doorstep and there are Rebajas at El Corte Ingles幡.
Restaurant Sultan - Granada http://www.movingtoandalusia.com/2009/01/restau... When in Granada, eat Moorish! So after a long day of sight seeing we ended up at Sultan in calle Elvira. It looks a bit run down, and in this off, off season there weren't very many people there, but the welcome was hearty. The tables look like they're intended for Snowwhite's dwarves, and I had a bit of trouble sitting down in a skirt. My husband picked lovely dishes: humus and Arab bread, followed by a lovely lentil soup with a hint of Morrocan mint and a skewer of lamb. I picked badly, a watery harira chickpea soup followed by a fish tajin. The fish tajin may have been lovely, but it was covered in boiled carrot, my arch nemesis. I'll eat almost anything, brains, pigs feet, worms, but boiled carrot; blegh. It's just icky. So I nibbled on my husband's food. Horrible man, always picks the best thing on the menu. On the other hand: he always let's me share his food. Lovely man. I should really order the same, but that'd be cheating. And a bit dull. So in conclusion: if you order the right stuff, this is a nice restaurant. Not the greatest, but nice.
4 definite Doﾃつｴs of Spanish Real estate http://www.movingtoandalusia.com/2009/03/the-5-... Even though weﾃつｴre in the middle of a crisis, apparently, Spanish real estate agents are obviously not catching on. If you are trying to sell your property, hereﾃつｴs four pointers from a slightly disgruntled potential buyer:
Take your own pictures. The pictures of properties on real estate websites are lazy at best.
Spanish Language - To be or not to be幡 http://www.spanishinmalaga.info/spanish-languag... SER幡.ESTAR幡. THEY BOTH MEAN 典O BE駁 - SO WHICH TO USE WHEN??
It is very confusing! Two completely different verbs for TO BE. Why do they have to do it??
Well, really it痴 not confusing at all. Yes, they are awkward to memorise, especially SER, which seems to follow no rules at all! But really it is ENGLISH that is missing something. Think about this: when you say 的 am at the station駁 it means my location is at the station at this moment. While if you say 的 am a girl駁 you are saying you, as a being, happen to be female. What relationship is there between the use of 殿m駁 in each case? The answer, if you think about it, is NOTHING!

Long term rental in Andalusia: 5 doﾃつｴs and donﾃつｴts http://www.movingtoandalusia.com/2009/05/long-t... Weﾃつｴve been living in different longterm rentals for the past few years and weﾃつｴve picked up a few useful tidbits. Everything you need to find the perfect place to rent long term!
1) Donﾃつｴt rent anything that is connected to or really close to the ownerﾃつｴs own dwelling. Even if they are the nicest people on the planet, there are bound to be things that will strain your relationship. A barking dog, domestic rows, misubnderstandings: weﾃつｴve had it all. In one of the houses we rented, the owner would go off on weekends and leave behind her dog, which would howl its way throught the night. When I brought it up she merely smiled. I guess there wasnﾃつｴt much she could do about it, but it was very annoying nonetheless. Somehow it would have been easier if the dog had belonged to someone else, someone we werenﾃつｴt paying quite a bit of money to.
2) Check, check and check again what is included in your rental price. First place we rented was lovely, but none of the utilities were included, so we had to find a truckload of wood to help us throught the winter and pay extra for gas, and water, etc.
