Hi lovely peeps, I am travelling from Barcelona Airport to Sant Feliu by bus when I arrive for September and October. I am wondering how far the bus stop is away from the arrivals terminal and how to pay the bus fare (card ?, cash?...). I am a "left - below-knee-amputee" so walking long distances can be challenging. I am only bringing a "cabin bag" with me on the flight but sending a much larger bag with medications and all my other clothing/needs etc. along by UPS direct to me at the apartment in Sant Feliu.

I am familiar with Sant Feliu but am flying for the 1st time rather than driving this time. I will also be on my own rather than having the able assistance provided by my wife.

Any help/info gratefully received. Many Thanks - Kevin

Hi, we recently had an astronomical water usage of 230 M3 in 20 days, which is about 11000 litres a day and we weren't even in the house. A very minor leak was found but.... This plus the current water situation led us to focus on water consumption quite a lot.

Our latest Agbar bill showed 14 M3 when we were only there for 2 weeks religiously trying to obey all current advice. We thought that pretty good until we compared with our UK usage which is around 80 M3 for 6 months which includes garden watering/baths/ someone who thinks 20 mins is OK for a shower, the usual extravagance.

Agbar claim their meter is sound, and there is no visible evidence of huge amounts of water leaking within the house or garden. Has anyone had issues with Agbar meters?

Unfortunately, we are in Calonge which is on Agbar's to-do list for Smart water meters 

So first question is: Is a M3 standard across UK and Spain?? - joke

Seriously, does anyone have an english translation of the various elements on an Agbar water bill? Specifically what is the Canon Aigua ACA, which seems to make up a large % of the bill   

Many thanks

Hi, until today we used telsat dish and box (Phoenix HD mini) in our house in Cabanyes. This has not worked since we arrived last week (we got channel names but "no signal" message) , and we finally got round to going into the shop in Platja, only to be told the relevant satellite has a potentially terminal problem.

Does anyone have a suggestion of an alternative solution, which hopefully does not require annual subscriptions as we don't really watch enough to be worth paying for.

Many thanks

We are currently customer from Gral. Aguas Barcelona and had a bad surprise with the water bill for the year .

I was wondering if there are other suppliers of water and if yes if it is possible to compare prices ?

Thanks
