Spanish Visitors Rules

Many of us living in sunny Spain like having our annual visitors to stay but sometimes the welcome wears a bit thin. One of my friends, at the end of her tether, sent the following to her family, not entirely tongue in cheek. It really does strike a chord.

Dear all,

Yes of course we would love to see you again this year, but we have to tell you that there will be a few changes:

1 We recommend that you hire a car from the airport as we no longer do free airport pick-ups and deliveries.

2 Day-time flights only, please. We go to bed at midnight, so no middle of the night flights (however cheap)

3 We no longer complete with the all inclusive hotel holiday deals. We do not provide breakfast, lunch and dinner together with all-day snacks and of course alcoholic refreshments. We will of course tell you where the best menus del dia (mid day meal) can be found.

4 We do not have a live-in-maid, so you are responsible for making your bed, mopping the floor and keeping the bathroom clean.

5 We do not provide a free laundry service so please bring your own hand, bath and beach towels, or contribute to the soaring cost of electricity to keep washing ours for you.

6 Our daily, free sightseeing trips to local places of interest have been cancelled because we are sick to death of looking at the save caves and views etc over and over again. We will provide maps and information for you to explore on your own.

7 Our free telephone service to the UK has been suspended, use your own mobiles.

8 You may be on holiday and want to stay out until 3 in the morning, but we live here, so keep quite when you come home.

9 Should you wish to spend time lazing around our pool and prefer to stay in, we shall expect help with food preparation, shopping etc, we will operate a joint kitty, from which all food and drink shopping cost of petrol for joint trips etc will be deducted.

10 We are retire and living on our pensions which, due to the awful exchange rate and decreasing each month – so we were considering coming over to you for two weeks instead.

What dates did you say you were booking?

Spanish Travel Tips. Be On Your Guard

Travel Tips Be Careful

Wherever tourists gather, be it at a castle, railway station or in a café bar you are more than likely to be approached by gypsies offering bunches of roses and or other plants. These can be very nice and a good buy but be careful. If this happens, first hang on to your bag. They are often in groups and whilst you are looking at the offerings, another picks your pocket or your bag. It happens all the time.

You will come across beggars everywhere, outside supermarkets at the bus station and again at tourist attractions. They often have a sign printed in English telling you their story. You may be approached by children or by young women with a card saying that they are refugees and have no money. If you feel strongly about these issues you should make a donation to a registered charity as often money given in the streets ends up in the pockets of organized gangs.

Finally, how to deal with the Looky, Looky men of African origin who sell CDs DVDs and watches, toys and sunglasses. More and more they drop by your table as you enjoy your coffee in the sun. They have a great sales pitch but the goods are sometimes worthless. If you are tempted to buy it is always a good idea to ask around bar owners and local residents to find out who are the regular and reputable Looky, Looky men because some of their stuff can be ok. If you do not want to do business with them Keep your money in you wallet or purse Smile and say no thank you and they will go away.

Spanish Beach Bars Saved

Chiringuitos Saved

The ministry of the Environment has now said that the beach restaurants – chiringuitos – can stay on the sand without disciplinary action being taken against them.

Only those where a move is easily possible off the sand will do so, and only with the agreement of the owners.

This is a new concession on the part of central government, which had announced pans to impose the 18 year old Ley de Costas (coastal law) which decreed that all beech was public land and the restaurants should be moved off it.

It as now been decided that the chiringuitos are now beach installations and no further action will be taken.

Plug In Profit Site Review

Something Hard to Find:
An Unbiased Plug-In Profit Site Review


The Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS) is an online home business opportunity developed by Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy. You may have heard of it and are interested in joining, but being a smart person you decided to look for a review. Well if it's a review you need, you came to the right place


If you are not yet familiar with the Plug-In Profit Site, it is a popular online business opportunity in which several affiliate and home business programs are combined into single system. It is essentially a downline builder for MLM and residual income programs. That is, you get your own site promoting several affiliate products and home business programs so you can make money. The site itself is set up for you for free, and you are provided with great training and support to help you along the way.


Click here to check out the Plug-In Profit Site yourself. Be sure to read the whole page to truly appreciate what Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy is offering.

The Plug-In Profit Site is definitely a package that's hard to beat when it comes to ease and speed of starting your own successful Internet business. But before we move on, let's make this clear:


Plug-In Profit Site is a home business opportunity, and like all legitimate businesses you must put some effort into if you are going to succeed and make money.

Now that that's out of the way, read on...



The Highlights of Plug-In Profit Site

These are the benefits of joining Plug-In Profit Site and why people like it.
You can read the sales letter all you want, but of course you won't take it too seriously until you hear it from someone who's been there already.
•Ideal for complete newbies who have no experience in online business
•Website is designed and set up for you at no cost to you. It is also completely customizable to the owner's desire.
•Complete training is provided to help newbies into promoting and working their business. Also introduces to newbies the many aspects and components of internet marketing.
•Included with Plug-In Profit Site is a 400 day pre-written newsletter campaign for members to send to their mailing list and follow up on prospects.
•Members have their own message board devoted to PIPS, where members can discuss and share tips and tricks, and ask for help.
•Serves as a great foundation for people new to online business to expand to other areas of internet marketing.
•Since the niche is already set for PIPS, there's no need for researching what to sell and promote, since it is all given.
•Perhaps the most important thing is that it can potentially earn a decent amount of residual income. Some people make some extra pocket money from PIPS, while there are some who manage to earn their living entirely online from PIPS.
•PIPS works on a system of duplication: one person can do something to succeed, and others can do the same thing with success as well.
•The helpdesk and support is extremely helpful and responsive.
•Plug-In Profit Site also provides an exclusive advertising co-op that you can join to receive a share of all the traffic, subscribers and sales from a large-scale, professionally-managed online and offline advertising campaign.

The Drawbacks of Plug-In Profit Site

What the sales letter won't tell you.
This is a review right? Not some lens that blabbers about the highlights of the program. Like almost anything you'll ever find, there are also things that nobody wants you to know about, because they want to make money off of you. Well that's what sets this lens apart from all the rest.
•On top of the initial start-up costs, you will also encouter back-end expenses that Stone recommends. These include upgrading your autoresponder, upgrading your account in some affiliate programs, etc. However it is entirely up to you if you want to invest more in your business.
•It's not fool-proof, despite what anyone makes it out to be. If you think something is fool-proof, then you underestimated your fools. That being said, not everyone makes money from PIPS. But honestly, you mind telling me of a business opportunity that is truly fool-proof? I didn't think so.
•If you want to truly customize your site, you're either going to have to learn some HTML, or pay money to have your site upgraded (I beat them by teaching myself HTML and doing all the upgrades myself).
•The training given to you can only teach you so much. A lot of things vital to surviving in the world of internet marketing (such as search engine optimization) are things that you will have to learn on your own.

Is Plug-In Profit Site Right For You?

Do you match these kind of people?
I won't say Plug-In Profit Site is for everyone. Rather, it is for people who want to start making money online for whatever reason, and are willing to do the work and learn what it takes to succeed. Here's a sampling of people who might be interested in PIPS.
•A disgruntled worker who is tired of the corporate world and desperately wants to work from home and enjoy life without a job running his life.
•A student who needs some extra money and doesn't want to work some low wage job, since those are usually the jobs available to students.
•A person who is content with their career and job, but would like some extra pocket cash for something like a vacation, a new car, etc.
•Someone experienced in business/marketing and would like to add more streams of income to their life (these people would have quite an advantage over most people starting in Plug-In Profit Site).

Why do Some Fail?

Not everyone makes a profit.
Honestly, with all the business opportunities you see on the internet, can you tell me about one that has 100% success? I didn't think so. Plug-In Profit Site is no different. Here are a few reasons I can think of that people fail with PIPS.
1.They simply give up before they have a chance to succeed.
2.Lack of promotion of their business.
3.They think that they can just wait for their success without doing anything to help their business.
4.They don't join the Plug-In Profit Site advertising co-op which is an easy way to promote your site on autopilot. It is very effective and I highly recommend it to all Plug-In Profit Site members. The co-op builds your opt-in email list, it writes and submits articles for you, it writes and submits a press release for you, it blogs for you and so much more - virtually all the things you need to do to build a successful online business is what the Plug-In Profit Site Advertising Co-op does for members.

The problem is that a lot of people join Plug-In Profit Site and then don't want to do ANYTHING to promote their site. So even though there are built-in advertising opportunities that can do 90% of the work for you, some people just won't do it. As the old saying goes: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

So Where Does This All Lead?

Have you decided if the benefits outweigh the costs?
There's only one person in this world that can decide if Plug-In Profit Site is truly right for you, and that person is you. While I can give you information about the benefits of joining PIPS, I can do no more as to getting you to join.

Now maybe you've decided Plug-In Profit Site seems like it's worth a try. If so, sign up here . It really is one of the best home business opportunities I've ever seen.

The Plug in Profit Site is what I have been dedicating my time and effort to into earning money on the internet. It takes some learning and patience, but I've found it to be well worth it. It's more fun than most jobs, and it definitely pays better. :-)

So do you want to start learning how to make money on the internet? Would you like to have your own money-making website? Are you willing to take consistent action toward changing your life and creating a better financial future for yourself?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions then I would highly recommend Plug-In Profit Site.
