Just one other thing, though...when they were talking about this on TV this morning, someone said that out of the half million or so British expats who live in Spain, around 70% don't speak Spanish. Is this true?

True.......
There are no translated documents. No benefits unless and until you pay into the Spanish system and no sympathy if you are able bodied and dont work.
