MoneyWeek: What to do if you're trapped in Spanish property gloom

At least by living in Spain you'd be spared the pain of higher heating costs this winter....

Return home, turn yourselves in. The sentence will be lighter.

Received an e-mail from a guy recently who is selling repo properties in Spain - the first one to go of those he had available was a 32million euro property sold this week for 2.2 million (have double checked the figures and it really did go for this amount ie that owed to the bank). This re-affirms what I have said on similar threads ie a property is only worth what someone is willing and able to pay for it !

The spaniards do not want them there and would be relishing this, other than the fact that they are suffering too.
