Lanzarote Relocation

Archive for the ‘Saving money’ Category

There have been some changes recently, in how we (Alan and I) have personally been transferring money from the UK to here. Many of you will have seen that we have banners for HiFX and Axia on our website. They will remain, as they have provided us with a good service, so have no reservations in recommending them.

Hi everyone. You may remember me extolling the virtues of Lisa Carlin and the fantastic massage I received at her Flutterby Wellness Centre in Lanzarote some time ago. Here is a link to that article: Chill Out!

Well, you lucky people – she has a special offer on at the moment. She offers a full body massage for only €20. It invigorates whilst it relaxes… strips you of dead skin cells, improves blood flow, relieves stiffness and tenseness.

I don’t normally post offers for companies in here – because that is not what this site is about (plenty of others ramming it down your throat elsewhere if that’s your thing)… but with the new year here… and most of us wanting to relax and feel better about ourselves – I thought we could all do with a treat.

I know that both Alan and I are working like crazy… with so many projects on the go – but just one hour a month is enough to chill us out… and leave us more prepared for dealing with life’s day to day excitement. I am sure that you guys are the same!

You can contact Lisa via her website HERE.

Spanair are running a special offer right now – but you’ll have to be quick… because it runs out on May 11th 2009.

Kids can fly free when their flight is booked before May 11th, and their journey is before September 30th. It is only for Stockholm, Copenhagen, Munich and and Frankfurt… and the origin airport must be Spanish.

Remember too, that if you have your Residencia – that Spanair offers massive discounts on your own flight prices.

Paying the annual taxes on your property in Spain is usually done by your asesoria or legal representative, and can cost a fair amount of money to process  – usually in excess of €100 each year. Read the rest of this entry »

Making cheap calls to Lanzarote from the UK  is a much better way for keeping in touch with friends and family – and a sure fire way to help you settle quickly into living in Lanzarote. Read the rest of this entry »

For the first couple of years we were here, we relied solely on DVDs and Spanish Television. In our opinion, the Spanish television is mind numbing at best… migraine inducing at worst. Read the rest of this entry »

Buying a holiday home or emigrating can be one of the most important decisions we ever make both in terms of lifestyle and finances.  Our thanks to Axia FX for providing the following useful information. We have used them ourselves to transfer funds over – and it certainly saves you money. Read the rest of this entry »

You may remember that we told you about “Beep” a new computer shop in Playa Blanca? Well… there’s another computer shop just opened called “Informatica Nueva Era”… not far from there. It is on the same road as the Correos Post Office, opposite Ferrobox, and just a door or two along from a lovely little tapas bar which we keep meaning to try. Read the rest of this entry »
