    Spain - Malaga region - Marbella

    I have been doing researches about that area myself. I would recommend visiting websites of UK expats living in that area, a lot of useful information. It is highly possible that I may spend next winter in that area (Malaga) as well. Do you speak Spanish (I don`t) ?

    Exponential growth

    I was thinking about them but never heard any opinions. I prefer conservative side and this is my primary concern - I wouldn`t care about few more nickels for the risk of possible conflict with IRS. Thx,
