    Bruessel or Amsterdam?

    Look into World2Fly from Madrid to STI or SDQ. We had a wonderful flight with them last month, half the price (!) of Condor from FRA and 100x times better, more comfortable, great food and services and extremely nice staff. Since their rates are so cheap you can easily upgrade to their Premium...

    Planting Boxes

    Funny to find this here, I just started a little over 5 weeks ago with my 'Project Balcony Finca'.

    Do-it-Yourself Temporary Residency Renewal Procedure

    Make you you have your login and the bank receipt with the CIS number both with your cedula or both with your passport.
