Hacienda

It's a strange thing. When we were living in the UK, if you had said to me that you have to drive for fifty minutes, 65 kms (40 miles), say from Stroud to Birmingham, I would have considered it a real chore. Trying to avoid traffic jams, never ending roadworks, road rage, pollution....etc, etc.
But here, the scenery is so beautiful, the roads good, virtually no traffic, that it is really a pleasure driving anywhere.



So it was that this morning, with Elma to interpret for us, that we were on the road to Ubrique, quite a large town south west of Olvera, to hopefully complete the formalities of registering at the Hacienda (tax office).
Having pre-determined the location of the office, we arrived just after 11.15 am, parked up and walked the short distance to the Hacienda.
Directed to an office on the first floor, within thirty minutes the business was done and we were official tax residents of Spain.





So just a few pics of our short visit which do not do justice to Ubrique but for a little more information click here for pictures of our previous visit in February last year.











Before heading off home, we called in at the Cafeteria El Parque for coffee
