Well,should we. Should we leave them alone to get on with their lives without our money . They could then afford the housing they can’t now. Yeah,stay at home . Yeah baby
It's not exclusive ,it's quite noticeable in Swansea that a lot ( as did in the late 80s) have moved this way ,for a number of reasons of which I can't blame them .
We're currently staying on the east side of Mallorca, with the odd foray outside the complex all I've found is in the main smiles and helpfulness from the locals , a trip into Parma yesterday and no signs of protests anywhere .We've always loved Spain and intend another break in October .We did have a holiday a couple of years ago to Kos where I found a noticeable difference in the infrastructure between there and Spain due to the financial differences.Home tomorrow flying back onto Cardiff so that'll please a few .

I was in Can Picafort last week and had a really nice time. As you say the locals were really friendly and helpful and the prices were in the main very reasonable. I’d defo go back there. It was quieter than I thought it would be though, some of the restaurants and bars were empty and out of use which surprised me.

Good for you. I’ve never found Spaniards particularly friendly. Spent many holidays in France and for me,in rural France,they make superb company. Go south west and they love rugby too. Very engaging people

Most youngsters can’t buy a house in my area as they are too expensive. Caused by older English folk moving in from southern England. I can’t blame the English oldies as they get to live in a lovely area. But do feel sorry for youngsters having to pay stupid rent prices with no chance of ever owning unless they are given or left money, or win the football pools.
The area I live in West Wales has lots of old English retirees living here.
Continually being banned by Planet Swans for Porthcawl and then being reinstated.
I bet they try and do integrate into the community.
I don't have any objection to those making their home anywhere in Wales, or those who move from other countries to yet other countries, it shouldn't be a problem.
I think it's second homes and rentals that's the problem. Wales needs tourists, Spain makes a fortune out of tourism so trying to stop it is a double edged sword.

Hmo's are ruining areas of Swansea, you have no idea who are renting these rooms.
Mount Pleasant has gone downhill in recent years due to these properties, lots of different people frequenting these properties who take no pride in the area they live in at all
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Italians are ok as are Portuguese
I don't like Italians, especially the tourists in other parts of Europe. Portuguese are nice those

The council have built all these student tower blocks around the City, which is turning areas in ghettos, you have no idea whose living in these properties

I thought they were purely for students although looking at the saturation of these complexes probably the landlords couldn't give a flying figure who lives in them .

I have personal experience of this. I was on a family holiday in France a few years ago when we ended up in a big craft and food market doing our shopping. We were approached by a couple of old French guys who were running a stall promoting something or other and they asked us something which I couldn’t understand. I politely replied in French that I didn’t speak the language and that I didn’t understand what they’d said. They looked at each other, one uttered the word “l’anglais’ they shrugged their shoulders, gave us a dirty look and started to turn away. In my very poor pre O level French I told them we weren’t English and that we were Welsh. Their attitude immediately changed, we were hugged, kissed on the cheeks and it was as though we were long lost dear friends.

The attitude in Spain isn’t just about tourism, housing etc. And Major R is perfectly correct.
They see the big beer bellies wobbling about the costa del sol, drunk, shirts off (that’s against the law and it’s firmly enforced in my province) fighting, spewing up and generally being a disgrace and immediately go anti British ( very few where I live know the difference between Wales and England) for example that isn’t known.
But then again and thankfully the English who behave like that aren’t in this region. There’s nothing here for them in the form of cheap lager and kebab shops on the beach. There are no pubs like Wetherspoons, they would never get planning permission.
And long may that continue.
My local beach, ten minutes away. Idiot free.

I had a similar experience just outside Paris at an outdoor food market, I asked for help in my GCSE French and when I asked if she spoke English she gave me a hand signal and walked away, others behaved in a similar manner and wouldn't listen to me trying to say "Je suis au Pays De Galles"
But as we travelled firther South the natives became very much friendlier. Nice, Cannes and Mnaco were outstanding.

By and large Parisians are arsewioes. Rest of France is fine Great people really Try engaging them with rugby talk . South west is best ,try the Lot and Garonne,even base yourself in Toulouse or Carcassonne
