I think that all of us have noticed how the price of the weekly shopping bill in Spain has increased over the past year. Like a lot of families we are looking into how we could cut back.
Food prices in Spain have increased between five and 48 per cent.
The price of flour has risen by 28.29 per cent and that has a knock-on effect on bread which has increased by around 10-15 per cent. Sunflower oil has increased by a whopping 40 per cent (this is due to its scarcity – last year there was a contamination incident and production had to be stopped). Lemons have increased by around 50 per cent (this is due to a glut last year and a smaller crop this year). Milk has increased by around 14 per cent and yoghurt by around 12 per cent. Butter, sardines and tomatoes have risen by roughly 15 per cent.

We´ve all seen the headlines during the last 18 months. Not a week goes by without some sort of negative article in the UK media, or some ´hard-hitting´ TV documentary, lamenting the woes of the Spanish property market.
The media is all-powerful in the UK, and despite everyone protesting to the contrary, most of us believe what we read in the papers.
Within a very short space of time, the media is capable of ending the reign of politicians and football managers, of provoking unnecessary public health scares, and of destroying entire businesses and industries.
