Last year we took a marvelous trip to the Czech Republic, where we spent most of our time in the capital city, Prague. This year, my family and I spent 12 days in the Republic of Georgia. I was dubious that Tbilisi would measure up to one of the most amazing cities in Europe, Prague. ...

On June 12, 2017, we became the proud owners of a three-bedroom cave house on Calle Ceuta No. 29 in Galera, Andalucia, Spain. And, yes, it was worth the wait. The final cost was around $80,000.

Good things come to those who wait. That said, patience may be the hardest part of buying a house in Spain. A buddy of mine was telling me how he and his wife had bought an apartment in Istanbul in just 48 hours. They typically do not do inspections, people don’t tend to use lawyers...
