    As a long-time traveller in campers and motorhomes why on earth would you site yourself on a car park full of motorhomes? Spain consists of 17-autonomous regions and is huge. No wonder local people complain about the eyesore of a camping ground on their doorstep.

      - absolutely. There are plenty of camping sites at reasonable prices. The sites in the Cataluña area are the best, but there are lots of good ones if you look around...... I'll never understand why some like to park up on waste ground with all the safety issues.....as well as the total lack of basic facilities.....

    Why do so many people get so fired up with the 90 day rule? Most of the moaners were breaking the law by staying in Spain for over 6 months without contributing to Spanish taxes. The only difference now is you can still legally stay in Spain for 6 months a year but with a 90 day break in the middle

    • @ScottishCoupleInSpain
      @ScottishCoupleInSpain  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It wasn’t enforced before but now it is. That’s the difference. People had lived here’s for decades and went back to the UK because for whatever reasons they did not want to get their residency or become tax residents. Many, many people and families with kids returned to the UK completely broke because after Brexit they could no longer work “cash in hand”. It was astonishing the numbers that went back. There actually were charities set up in Spain specifically to help UK nationals get back to the UK. I’ll never understand it.

    If you voted Leave and expected to still do everything you did before then that is your problem not the EU's. The 90/180 rule is applied to citizens of all third countries, to think it wouldn't be applied to the UK is just more exceptionalism from boneheaded Brexiters.

    • @ScottishCoupleInSpain
      @ScottishCoupleInSpain  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was the UK government that negotiated that rule too. However, I want to point out nobody said they voted to leave so it’s a bit odd we keep getting comments saying things like “you got what you voted for”. People who spend time in Europe didn’t vote for it, so your comment is irrelevant. Yes, it is what it is, but it’s certainly not welcomed by a lot of people. The UK enforced it, not the the EU. France have recently made changes to allow holiday home owners to stay 180 days and Spain are all set to follow. Despite the UK government refusing to discuss it.

    • @patrickh8602
      @patrickh8602 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @shCoupleInSpain France blocked the plan to let UK home owners stay longer than 90/180, they said it was 'unconstitutional'. The UK government could have stayed in the single market, indeed there is video of arch Brexiteer Daniel Hannan saying 'nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market'. Leaving the single market meant the loss of freedom of movement which in turn meant we were bound by the 90/180 rule like all other third countries. Plenty of Brits who were Spanish residents voted to Leave the EU, same in France and Portugal and Italy. When I pointed out to those who would listen that we will lose freedom of movement after Brexit I was told it was all project fear and nothing will change because the EU needs us more than we need them blah blah blah. Calling my comment 'irrelevant' is exactly what I'd expect from people who voted for something they didn't understand. Make no mistake if you voted to Leave, then the 90/180 rule is on you.

I personally would be very happy if those that voted to leave the EU if they could do that and never return. Those that voted to stay - sorry, but tough luck. Very shortly other restrictions are to be applied in an attempt by the EU to further secure its boarders, which will men that Brits will soon find it difficult to move to Europe, buy property in Europe, holiday in Europe, rent out their properties, and possibly drive there.

    I voted remain and have bought a holiday home post Brexit/Brexit transition period. Amongst the many poorly thought out protocols during the Brexit negotiations non could be so bizarre and illogical as the one sided 90/180 days Schengen rule! I say one sided because if someone from the Schengen area bought a holiday home in the UK they do not have to comply with a 90/180 rule! They can use their 180 days in whatever combination they choose. That is all I would want as I would never want to permanently relocate to Spain. I would always want to stay the right side of 183 days each financial tax year in Spain so I do not become a tax resident. However I would like to use my 180 days as I like in my own home. If anyone can explain the rationale behind the 90/180 rule I would love to hear it. Those camper vans are awesome! Particularly the american style one with the wind out side extensions!

      @davidmatthews3093 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The 90/180 day rule is not a post Brexit rule it has always existed and non EU citizens have had to abide by it. Britain as a sovereign nation is free to set its own visa waver visitor conditions and went with 180/360. There was never any reason that the EU would be influenced by that, now, to them the U.K. visitors are treated the same as Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, etc, etc, etc. The British government could have negotiated on behalf the British nationals who feel that 90/180 is not enough but they didn’t. They wanted Brexit done quickly and they didn’t want to get involved in anything that would drag the process out longer or mean that they would have to make further concessions in return. For them it was easier to lie, to tell the U.K. population that nothing would change and that they held all the cards. In reality very few people are affected by the 90/180 rule anyway. There are a handful of retired people who would prefer a 180/360 split but for anybody working in the U.K. being on holiday for more than 90 days at a time is basically impossible. Don’t forget it’s not only the right to reside that’s been lost, it’s the right to work as well.
