The Marbella Property Buyer's Guide - A step-by-step guide for property buyers
The buyer's problem in finding the right property, negotiating its purchase and closing the sale is much more difficult than in one's own country. As in most resort areas, everybody seems to be in the business, from the taxi driver to the hall porter in the Hotel. Property is everyone's favorite subject of conversation. And almost everyone has an opinion, many of which can easily confuse a potential buyer. Where to start?

A new look cabinet heralds the new political legislature in Spain
Indications are that the next four years of politics in Spain are going to be somewhat different than the last four, not least because the state of the economy will dominate for a time.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
It’s all change in the Spanish political arena as the Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero names his new cabinet. There were a few surprises in the choices made, but on reflection they show the Zapatero we already know. More women than men and a new Ministry for Equality shows a real commitment to readdressing the balance between the sexes in a country where the macho culture is renowned.

The changes also reveal the Prime Minister’s loyalty to old friends, with his close friend Miguel Sebastián, who failed miserably as Socialist candidate for Mayor of Madrid, being brought into the powerful Ministry for Industry where we can expect a counter-balance to Pedro Solbes in the Ministry for the Economy. It is, perhaps, the area where the Government faces its greatest challenges, given the worldwide economic climate, and we can only hope that the two men can work effectively together.
