Drop Wurzel a PM, he's familiar with the situation and may have the best informed advice.

Drink bottled water.

Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day.

Try and meet some Spaniards - get a recommendation for their favourite tapas bar.

Go to this forum to ask expats
You have to tread carefully - once you're there a certain number of days you'll be liable to be taxed by the Spanish authorities.

Wurzel may be the guy to ask here - I think his last contract was down Alicante way.

If this is a serious question then this is the wrong place to post it.

If it's not a serious question then just make sure you take plenty of sun cream.

Working from Spain and tax issues

Hi all

I work from home via the internet and I'm thinking of visiting Spain for an extended period this Summer and continuing working there during my stay.

I wonder how this would affect my situation with Taxes. Would I have to report this to the Spanish authorities even thought it's only casual/temporary work I'd be doing. How would this affect my working tax credits?

I thought if I set up a proxy server at home for accessing the internet, would this count as me working from the UK even if I was not there in person.
