• Torrevieja, more than you´d expect!

    Torrevieja is a city in Spain’s south-eastern Alicante province, on the Costa Blanca. It’s known for its Mediterranean climate and coastline, promenades that run along sandy, resort-backed beaches and the quality and freshness of the seafood are unmatched.  

    Car Insurance for Drinking & Driving

    In 2016 a survey was taken to highlight the issues facing the international expat community in Spain. 

    How to get around the city without using a car was at the top of the list, for more than one reason.

    One of them is that B.A.C. levels are lower in Spain than the U.K.,
here 0.5 or 0.3 puts you over the limit.

    Even a glass of wine may exceed the legal limit for driving and therefore tend to stay in the areas where they live, losing many opportunities and events because of this.

    Doing the right things for the right reasons

    It’s crucial for expats to note however that many mentioned benefits are exclusively available to international residents. To access these advantages, expats must opt for the English policy rather than the default Spanish one. Both are good, but the English policy offers exclusive extras tailored for the expat community. They have my support and gratitude not just for their policies but because they consistently and authentically do the right things for the right reasons.
