Speaker 3 (01:15):
You're listening to the Right Way with David Wright in
the afternoon on al Maria Radio one I seven point
five FMS.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
The comment section is open, so come say hi to

(01:47):
tickets as well thanks to the sponsors of my show
in Dullah Transport and Storage three tickets to a place
in some More of that coming up a little bit
later on the show as well, and my live guest
Dahliandro will be here shortly, so it stays tuned for
that big banking news that it were big news didn't
come about. The banking community are talking about this. Seventeen

(02:09):
months in the preparation, the BBVA, one of the biggest
banks in Spain, was going to take over Sabadol here
in Spain. I've been trying to do it for a
long time now, seventeen months of talks and planning and
it's all fallen through. So yeah, that's all been put
on hold now, it's not gone through at all. It
would have created one of Europe's biggest banking systems here, yeah,

(02:31):
very big banks of banked with both of those to
actually BBVA had an account with them many years ago
over in the Canary Islands. But they're pushing ahead to
try and take up some smaller banks. But this would
have been a real big merger if they'd taken on that.
But it's not quite dead yet. It's on hold, i think,
as they call it here in Spain. But there you go.

(02:52):
And some more news about bullfighting as well. So there
was six hundred and sixty thousand people have signed and
put in these petitions to stop bullfighting at the Congress,
and Spain's Congress has refused point blank to even sit
down and talk about having a debate about protection of
the bullfighting. They will not be banning it. They will

(03:15):
not even sit down and talk and discuss anything to
do with banning it at all. So that's a very
hard no on banning bullfighting in Spain. So what' do
you reckon on that?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Then?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Have you ever been to a bullfight in Spain? Good
or bad? Would you think? Do you think it should
be banned? Let's know in the comment section?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Okay, yeah, Live David Right, David Like David David David.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
The afternoon show.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Pilot is Alan g Join me for a brand new
show on a Friday Night's eight till ten club Life
taking you on a journey through soul for funky and
deep house fives. It's a new disco and of course
stopping your favorite club classics from yesteryear Live on a
Maria one oh seven point five. That's Friday club Life
till ten. Join me.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're listening to the right way with me, David right
here on a Maria Radio one on seven point five FM.
It's Friday. Lot's going on at the weekend. Tell you
all about that a little bit later on and I
meet up this weekend and next week early part next week.
I'll be down in Malaga for a few days. So
if anyone's in the Malaga area want to meet up,
meet up, even let me know in the comments section

(04:24):
and maybe coming a race to meet up. Meeting a
few people down there already, so there's always time to
meet up with some of the listeners if you're in
the Malaga area for next week. Okay, So talking about Malaga,
A bit of a chaos at the airports at the
moment with this new Ettius system. This is a new
entry and exit system that has started to come in
at airports ports and entry systems here in all over

(04:47):
the borders of Spain. Malaga has reported at massive delays
and tailbacks in the queues up to an hour hour
and a half. Some people have missed flights with this
new Ettia system checking in, so you you need to
check in with your passport and your fingerprints and takes
photographs of your face recognition all that sort of thing.
So it's triple checks at the moment, and this is

(05:09):
starting to roll out all over Spain. It's going to
be starting in different places at different times. MALAGAA started
it this week and there's some reports of people having
an hour or more delays at checking, so be aware
of that. Some people have said that they've missed their
flights due to this, So make sure if you're traveling,
especially in the airport, so that you do check in

(05:29):
a little bit earlier than normal and be prepared for
this new Ettier system. It's going to go on like
this for another six months and then it should settle
down a bit after that. But you know, entry exit
system here in Spain is causing problems in Malaga at
the moment. If you've been through the airport controls then
you've had any of this experience. Let's know the comments

(05:49):
station and how it went for it. Did it go
smoothly or was there any delays. It's supposed to be
for air benefit for security and stuff like that, but
it's all part of the digital security that's going bringing
in all over Spain. So yeah, let's know the comment section.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Let's have another spin the afternoon show David right, Help
and advice for living and working in Spain. You're listening
to the Right Way with David Right.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, so talking about ball fights here in Spain, and yeah,
it's pretty cruel. You've got You've got to me, it's
a terrible word to Spain. A couple of years ago
past some crazy new laws that made animals sentient beings
and have feelings here, but that only applies to some animals. Apparently,
the pet shops here have closed down all over the
place because they're not allowed to sell cats and dogs

(06:40):
and things like that in the pet shops. Now, most
reptiles have been banned from sale, and you can't get
certain types of animals here in Spain, very very strict
rules and regulations. And if you've been in any of
the shops or shopping centers here in Spain. You'll know
that you're allowed to take your pets into the shops.
Now there's people walking around most of the shops with

(07:02):
cats and dogs. I can't quite see the need to
take them into supermarkets and stuff like that, but there
you go. But when it comes to bullfighting, they won't
even talk about it. Spain have totally rejected to even
sit down and have any discussions at all. With over
half a million people petitioning every year, protest all over
Spain and the Congress have said that they do not

(07:23):
even want to sit down and discuss going forward in
banning ballfighting here in Spain. So there you go. So
it seems that Spain care about some animals but others
not so much that there you go. So live guest
in the show after.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
This Got Live David Wright, David Right, David David David.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
The Afternoon Show. Okay, so on my show today, I've
got a very special guest. I've got Alijjandro Salvador from
Salvador Tax and Legal. As most of you know, Alyahandro
is also the honorary British Consulate for al Mario and
welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Alejandroid, Hello, David, thanks for bringing me to your show.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
So, Alejandro, there's a big event coming up in the
a Warrior area next week, so can you tell us
a little bit about that place.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Well, this is something that is not new we We've
been doing this event for many, many many years since
I opened my office in Mohaka. In Mohaka, my intention
with that is always to try to inform people about
things that are important for those that are looking to
live in Spain or already living here. And we talk

(08:39):
about anything that they may need when they are looking
to come, like visas or residencies. This is more or
less focused to British. So we spoke about the problems
of now that that is to get normal residence compared
with how it was when when UK was in the

(09:00):
Openian Union. We also talk about the legal your legal
obligations as a citizen in Spain, but inheritance, how to
prepare your your when you are living and then we
always have a Q and A that it's always longer
than than my talk. So I think people go happy

(09:25):
because it's for free, of course, and it's a good
opportunity to know the people worries and to try to
solve some questions that they may have in their minds.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
So this is a live event here in a box
on the fourteenth, is that correct?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
That's correct. We are doing on the fortieth of November,
ten thirty in the morning, and we are doing that
in a place that it's called Without Worlds Community. It's
like it's in in outbox in Carabal, number twenty. So
everyone that would like to come is invited. They just

(10:06):
need to register the number that, the number that, what's
a number of the email that you can give to
your audience.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And yeah, yeah, so I've been to a few of
these events and are very interesting. You learn a lot
of information there. But I think this one is almost
booked up, isn't it, Alexandra.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, we are almost fooled. Yeah. We always want to
give mardin for those that finally they can come, so
they could be some small spaces, but yes, this time
we are fully booked well.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
With more people contemplating moving out to Spain from the
UK with what's going on there at the moment, I
think they'll be even more popular in the future. So
thanks very much for the Alejandro. I leave a link
in the comment section anybody which's interested in going and
your contact details. Thanks for joining us today on the
right way and have a great weekend.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
The same thank you, David, by.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Bye someone like you and that was a thew there
fantastic voice. Okay, So this Sunday is remembrance Sunday, remembering
the eleventh and yeah, I just want to talk a
little bit about this because it's always big in my
mind because my father was a Lancaster gunner in the

(11:21):
Lancaster cruise in the Second World War. Been dead for
about fifteen years now, I think my dad it's something
that he used to talk about in the last few years,
only really in the last few years before he died.
But it's amazing that, you know, there was on the
Lancaster bomber in Second World War. There was a seven
crew members. There was a pilot, the navigator, flight engineer,

(11:43):
a bomb aimer, a wireless operator, and a mid gunner
and a rear gunner. My dad was on the rear
guns and on the top guns as well. The average
age of the crew members was nineteen to twenty one,
and my dad said that on his plane, the eldest
person on the seven was twenty one years old. That
was the pilot twenty one and none of them at

(12:04):
that time had a driving license. They never passed a
driving test, but there you go. So, yeah, the life
expectancy of the flight crew of a Lancaster bomber was
two weeks to sink in two weeks. The one hundred
and twenty thousand bomber crews there was fifty five thousand,
that's over almost fifty percent were killed in action. Fifty percent.

(12:27):
That was the biggest losses in all the war of
flight cruis in Bomber Command. And yeah, imagine it at
nineteen twenty years old flying Lancaster bomber over Germany and
what some people don't know about the end of the war,
my dad was flying over Russia as well. They were
bombing Russia as well. One of the good stories my
dad used to tell me was at the end of

(12:47):
the war he done You're supposed to do thirty odd missions.
He did thirty six missions in total, and he was
actually shot down twice, crash landed and survived that. I've
still got the pictures on where office wall of his
medals and a picture of his plane that he jumped
out of at the last minute and got walked away
from it. They all walked away with our scratch. So

(13:08):
there you go, so amazing. You remember these people what
they did for us to give us our freedom, and
it's something that we should never forget and pass it
on down in the generation. So Remembrance Day this Sunday,
but it's actually on Tuesday, the eleventh of November, so
and make sure you go and buy your poppy or
at least have a couple of minutes silence to remember

(13:29):
these true heroes.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
David Wright help and advice for living and working in Spain.
You're listening to the Right Way, The Right Way with
David Right.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
So if you're in the Arbor Laos area, remember the
Alejandro event on the fourteenth of November. These are very
informative events and there's going to be a lot of
people there at this November. There's still places available if
you want to go along to this event. Alejandro also
is a tax expert and residency expert here as well
as being the honorary British concert for al Maria. And

(14:04):
as he said earlier, the talk is about an hour long,
but the questions go on about an hour afterwards. Lots
of people have lots of questions, more personal questions. So
if you've got a question, a problem or anything like that.
You can go along and speak to Alejandro live at
this event and you will learn a lot. Even if
you've been living in Spaying a long time. I've been
to a lot of these events and I'm still learning
new things about living and working in Spaying. Very interesting

(14:26):
as well, so go along to this event. The details
for that are in the comments section now as a
fun number, you can book your spot. It's completely free.
So I should just go along and I'll be there
as well, so I'll come along say hi to me
as well. Who's Deally there by? Dou lupa.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
So thanks to my sponsors today and Dalu Transport and Storage.
If you want to get some free tickets to a
place in the Sun events, there's several events over the
course of the next year in the UK and Ireland.
So go and speak to pull Over in Dalu Transport.
He will give you as many free tickets as you're
there's no catch. You need to just go over to

(15:01):
his website, put in your email or give port a
ring and it gives you a free tickets to a
place in the Sun. It's a great way of finding
about information and living and working in Spain and that
is from Poult and Dullo Transport details in the comment section.
Now see a turn of that and golden and I
that's a bit more like it. Okay, So yeah, Sylvia

(15:22):
is health hunting again and good on your silva. There's
plenty out there. It's a buyer's market at the moment,
I think, and you'll find what's right for you now,
you know. Sometimes you can find something quite quickly. Sometimes
it's if it's not there, it's not there. You know,
it's all in the cards, I think, and the right
place is always out there for you. I remember how
frustrated I was when I first moved here. I saw

(15:42):
a couple of places I wanted fell through and things
didn't work out right. But in the end I got there.
I found the place that was right for me. And
I've moved seven times in my life, and you know,
it's always a bit of a stressful thing. But I've
got a post on my website the other day about
where you can to in Spain, some of the different
areas now, and there are some amazing deals in the

(16:04):
north of Spain at the moment. You can get properties
for as little as one euro believe it or not,
y it's crazy. So what's the catch. Well, it's a
remote area and the places need doing up. Some of
the smaller villages up in the north of Spain very picturesque,
very beautiful places up in Navara, up in that area,
there's places where you can go and live in the

(16:25):
village and if you take on a house there that
needs renovating. Some of them are livable, they just need renovating.
The councils will pay you up to three thousand euros
per person to go and live there in the house
and you get help with the building costs and things
like that. So I've got a post on my website
about this. There's several places in Spain that are doing this.
The idea is that some of these smaller remote villages

(16:47):
are losing the younger generation, so they're trying to draw
some people back, put some money back into the villages,
and so they're offering some fantastic deals. Also, if you
have a baby in some of these places, some of
us might be a bit old for that, but they're
paying up to three thousand euros to have a baby
born in the village. So if you're a young couple
thinking about moving there, you could double your money straight away,

(17:08):
move there and have a baby. You get three thousand
for moving there, three thousand for the baby, and get
help with grants on doing the property up. Also, if
you're running a business in these villages, there are grants
and startup schemes to help people or to try and
drummer up some more money into the local coffers of
these villages. And then it's not just one or two villages,

(17:29):
there's several of these villages doing this. Several cities are
doing it as well on the outskirts of the cities
to bring back some people into these raw areas. If
you want to find out more information that as a
blog post I did about that, there was some links
so you can go and see all the information about
that over on my website. That's David Wright online dot com.
