Do you have a tv license?

Or any other costs that you pay for in spain

We live not far from Antequera. What park are you thinking of living on? There is no such thing as a TV license in Spain. Our ‘council tax is about 400 euros a year although I don’t expect you pay it on a park, as it will be included in your yearly fees. The costs of running a car in Spain are much the same as the UK although fuel is cheaper. Second hand cars are very expensive as are new cars compared to the UK. Electricity and water are also about the same as the UK. Any thing to do with telecommunications is expensive compared to the UK.

If I can be of any further help please contact me as I know the area well!!

Hi Caz We were thinking of either La Vina or Saydo Park.
We are going out to visit them in a few weeks times.
do you know antthing about these parks or the local village, any info would be really appreciated

Thanks

Hi, I live on a mobile park in the area and know the two you mention.
Caz is right, we do not pay any rates (tax) on top of the ground rent. 
You should also consider La Posada, all 3 are different and can be looked at on the same day.
