We have recently bought a good second hand car from what we consider to be a reliable dealer. My husband is a motor engineer though and knows what he's looking at. It may help to take someone along with you to have a look at any car you might be interested in if you aren't too sure. Please pm me if ...

I don't think you actually get a midwife. You do get ante-natal care though and scans. I am not saying anyone is wrong. I know quite a few mums who've recently had children here, both privately and on the national health. I was just offering you some help and advice from people who have experience. SB

I know a few women who have had children here recently (I have attended mum and toddler mornings with mine). You do get ante-natal care and scans here, you don't have to go private.

Thanks!

I have been a couple of times. It takes about 2 hours from Lagoa and its really easy to find. Just head for Spain then follow the signs for Seville. You will see Ikea on the left hand side just before you get there.

I have been in both and asked to see their list of ex-hire cars that they have had for sale and both had some. Maybe they return some but not all.

Hire car companies sell their ex hire cars. You just ask them for a list of what they've got. They are usually a reasonable price.

Well we went and to be honest it wasn't the best meal I'd ever had. They also gave us only 1 lot of potatoes to share, whilst other diners had 2 and 1 definitely wasn't enough and 1 bowl of salad whereas others also had two. Probably won't be going back in a hurry.
