This review is from: Living and Working in Spain: A Survival Handbook (Living and Working Guides) (Paperback)

I needed up to date information on retiring in Spain. This book "hit the spot". It is very informative with specific detail on the most important subjects a person researching & preparing for living in Spain will need. The book is a very useful tool, extremely well written & researched. Very entertaining in parts when the humour kicks in !

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, April 16, 2001

This review is from: Living and Working in Spain: A Survival Handbook (Survival Handbooks) (Paperback)

I thought Mr. Hampshire's book was invaluable. His research and data was excellent and very timely. I did think, though, that there were a few prejudices that were quite outdated. Specifically with regards to the amount of time it takes to get things done in Spain. The service industry in Spain is extremely prompt, accurate and courteous. It blows the UK service industry out of the water. There are a few other details that could use updating.
