ARE YOU ALL ABROAD FOR A SPANISH LIFE
All Abroad is looking forward to its link-up with ‘A Spanish Life’ which will see one of the most comprehensive websites covering communities in Spain combine its resources with one of the most popular expat magazines around! We offer advice, info, features, and articles all relevant to life as an expat in Spain and with the help of A Spanish Life we’ll be able to spread our message (and some cracking jokes…).
A Spanish Life, like All Abroad, offers expats the chance to tell their story and recount their experiences and now those tips and advice (and warnings!) will be spread around the Costas via the web with A Spanish Life and All Abroad which is a hard copy magazine (free, 5th every month) available at the moment, on the Costa Blanca only.
All Abroad has been running for seven years now (formerly known as The Jungle Drums) and their experts and contributors know what it is like to be an expat in Spain, and they always tell you about anything with a smile on their face!
Welcome and we hope you’ll experience your Spanish Life with all of us here at All Abroad and A Spanish Life!

A Guide to Spanish Inheritance tax,
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
You may be aware of this already, but it’s something many people who own property in Spain don’t know.
It’s about the taxes payable when an owner of property in Spain passes away.
If you have ever wondered about the details of inheritance tax, it’s simply this:
Your hard earned legacy may have to be sold off to pay crippling tax bills when you pass away?
Spanish Inheritance tax, death duties , legal fees - up to 40% .
So, right now, can you be absolutely sure that those you leave behind will have the money to cover those costs?
Of course we would all prefer our children and grandchildren to enjoy the property we’ve worked so hard to own, and not be forced to sell it to cover onerous tax demands.
Equally as worrying, did you know that in the UK system of IHT, a husband or wife is usually an exempt beneficiary?
But in the Spanish system...
Your husband or wife will not be exempt from Spanish Inheritance Tax.
It's a sobering thought, isn't it?
For a Fuller explanation

Many of the paintings are of Flamenco and Tango dancers, so they are very appropriate in the setting of this lovely old building where diners are entertained to the most exciting and awesome Flamenco dancers on Friday and Saturday evenings. A great place to take your visitors where they can experience a truly Spanish evening in a lovely outdoor courtyard with excellent value menus del noche.

GUARDAMAR HOTEL OCCUPANCY AT 100%
Hotels in the town of Guardamar del Segura reached an occupancy rate of 100% during the first fortnight of August, a figure that confirms the upward demand for holiday accommodation during the current summer season.
The data was provided by councilor, Carmen Verdú (PP), and was based on information supplied by the Tourist Office in the town. The rate of occupancy during the month of July, however, was around 90%, with 860 rooms remaining vacant during that period.
"Guardamar is full, it only takes a walk around the town to see the city is full of tourists," said the councillor, who estimated that more than 100,000 visitors have enjoyed their holidays in the town during the first two weeks of August.
Verdú said that some infrastructure still required to boost tourism was currently missing although the reopening of the swimming pool will take place prior to the start of next summer. “However, Guardamar is a city that lives off tourism and as such we will continue to work toward improving the coastal zone which is the most important feature of the locality.”
