Can anyone tell me please.
I use a Samsung Cam recorder. I haven’t any problems using it in the daytime, but when it comes to videos at night I seem to end up with less than average footage. I often video an Artiste on stage and the reproduction is not as it should be. I have a couple of times recently noticed other people using a video with a small light producing, gadget on the side of the cam video. Has any one any experience of these? and is it a part/extra that can be purchased for an existing model. Plus if so is the reproduction worth the investment?
Guardamar Beach
It was packed at Guardamar today you could not move. Had all the family their with us from Scotland and they loved it. We had a lovely lunch at one of the bars on the promenade and really chilled out. We all enjoyed our day and shall be trying La Marina beach tomorrow as friends have said that this is also a lovely beach and less crowded.
If there is anyone who has any other suggestions on any nice beaches that are not too far please let me know. Thanks

WEBSITE
It seems to me that the Forum is becoming more like an advertising page, as is the My Spanish Life section. Surely advertisers should be using the Services Section to advertise? The way the My Spanish Life section seems to be going, you may as well do away with the rest of the website and just have that area!
Thank you for pointing this out, all adverts have been removed from My Spanish Life any new ones will be deleted
I agree too and think that the administrators should remove advertising from the forum - I can see that businesses would want to advertise one off events / sales but when you constantly see the same businesses advertising day in/day out it does get annoying. Businesses should use the other advertising options on the site.
I have to agree that the new forum appears to be used virtually as an advertising site for local bars and businesses. The old site was used by people wanting advice and help on all kinds of different aspects relating to living in Spain, which is what I thought the whole purpose of the forum was. Maz
How the site is used is down to the members, have a look at the La Marina forum, they have advertising as well but the people there use the site to find out what is going on and ask questions so this makes the adverts far less prominent. So why not use the site more and the adverts will become less important.
I also note that a lot of the adverts here are about what is going on as a posed to trying to sell a product, I for one find this useful to see what events are happening now, at this busy time of year.
But surely the Events page should be used for businesses to advertise the events that they have coming up? The forum should be used like Maz says for asking questions and giving advice on all aspects of living in Spain and the local area.
I find the layout very difficult to follow and think that it would be better if different areas were segregated. I feel that the site is being spoilt by there being too many advertisers mixed in with points of interest
So by the sound of it you do not like much about this site? I do not see what the problem is with the layout, someone post and others comment, its the same as facebook and that works for Millions of people.
I agree with you Dave!!! What is the difference as you say facebook, as well as twitter works very well for millions around the world. What is the problem with some advertising? Ok if its the same all the time then we can control this but a mix of both is a good blend.
Hi Guys
I have to say I agree with kiera. You must consider that the purpose of my spanish life, as explained to us at the outset was to discuss my spanish life. I did check with the providers that the requirements were that of blog type story telling,and "how to" features.
I also checked that the purpose was not for advertising, buying ,selling, after all we have already been provided with plenty of scope to do that.
By not following the intended original structure the sites have been saturated with repeat advertising, its messy and un appealing.
For the record I love the sites, I enjoy the chat, info and exchange of information however it is a fact that due to improper use by many contributers, the my spanish life section has so far failed to deliver its original format and in that case it is not fit for its intended purpose.
I had spoken with the service provider several days ago who agrees with this,so much so that many of the adverts have been removed and will continue to be so, therefore, Kiera is right in accordance with the original intention of my spanish life, the concept has failed so far.
Surrey it depends on what you are advertising, for all i know ( we love it here ) works for Avon or Boots and is advertising their products on here. We advertise our classes on here which is a business but also we are giving people a chance to integrate with each other. So is that a bad thing?
Please see my post above lol
Oh come on chalk face academy you must be joking ! First of all with regard to avon products, as id explained in answer to a request for sugestions and cures, I suffer teribly from a mosquito allergy that at times makes my life a misery, I was only trying to offer the benefit of my experience having tried so many products gadgets and gizmos, I dont work for avon but I do advertise my business on this site, the thing is I advertise it in the correct place and I just wish other people would take the time and trouble to use and navigate the site correctly, how hard can it be ?
WARNING!
EBay users, some people over here have been getting scam emails from a company pretending to be PayPal. They aren't and have been reported to EBay. Not sure if it's happening in UK but just be aware, if you get one ..... bin it.
Do you know how long the lease is for, and how many years was the business operating and is it still opened now?
Thanks
