Making the Most of Your Life in the Sun
Did you know you can watch British TV in Spain without a Sky dish? Or that you can get yourself a free UK phone number which diverts to your Spanish phone? Find out more about these and other useful services for UK expats.

Watch BBC iPlayer and view other UK specific sites

If you've ever tried to watch iPlayer or other online videos, you'll almost certainly have seen that nice little message telling you that the content is only available in the UK. Luckily, for just £5 a month you can get round this by using a really simple piece of software that tricks the site into thinking you're in the UK.

UK Telephone Number
dmClub offers free 070xx UK phone and fax numbers which can be automatically forwarded to a Spanish number. Not designed for use by friends and family as these cost from 9.8p to 37.6p per minute but more for business use eg if you don't want to announce that you are in Spain for any reason.

SpainSave Discount Card
If you live in the Alicante/Costa Blanca region of Spain, get yourself a SpainSave Discount card to take advantage of discounts from 10% to 50% at over 1,000 establishments including top attractions, activities, restaurants, bars, shops & lots lots more; up to 45% off theme parks, 2 for 1 at over 300 restaurants and much more

The card comes with a handy pocket-size booklet listing all the discounts and special offers by category and town.

Cheap Phone Calls
If your telephone service doesn't offer free calls to the UK, then you could be paying way too much for your calls, especially if you use your mobile. Use a discount service like Los Minutos and you could be paying under 2 cents a minute.
