Q. They moved to Spain. We rent their house and almost all their mail comes here. They email all the time about what mail
they have received. At first it was okay. Now it is getting aggravating.

A. If I were the owner I would not like this situation. It is not secure for their privacy or financial security. They should get a relative to receive mail for them at a post office box.
what are some good movies in Spanish?
Q. I'm looking for some good movies made or taking place in Spain, preferably one's that came out sort of recently.
I've seen Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphanage. I'm also downloading a bunch of Pedro Almodóvar films. I'm into just about any genre of films.
Thanks for your help!

A. I love Pan's Labyrinth! I suggest watching all of Guillermo del Toro's flicks! I'm not sure if all of these movies take place in Spain, but they certainly are incredible and at least not old and cheesy. You can search for films with known actors from Spain like Penelope Cruz and Ariadna Gil are the only ones I can think of that would have lots of movies filmed in Spain.
-The Devil's Backbone (Guillermo del Toro film)
-Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) ***I believe takes place in Spain. It's the original version of the remake called Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise***
-Carmen [2003] ***Takes place in Spain***
-Tres Dias
-Paraiso Travel
-Volver [2006]
-Kiltro [2006]
-Maldeamores (Produced by Benecio del Toro!)
-La Celestina [1996] ***Takes place in Spain***
-Chronicles of an Escape [2005]
-Ladron Que Roba a Ladron [2007]
-Manana Te Cuento [2005]
-Y Tu Mama Tambien [2001]
-The House of Sand [2005]
-Caribe [2004]
-Maria Full of Grace [2003]
-Entre Lammos
-Fuera del Cielo [2006]

*You can rent these movies on Netflix.com (has more selections and cheaper monthly plans) or Blockbuster.com (I like it because I can exchange in-store). You can even search their 'Foreign' selections online.
Check YouTube.com for some of these movie trailers. ;)

Traveling to Spain, July 3-17, How is Public Transportation or should I rent a car?
Q. Could rent auto if need to but if public transportation is good by train/bus. Would like to experience as a native and not a tourist.My plans are to do it as cheap as possible.Looking for housing,sites to see,eating places,transportation,etc. My plan is to follow coast line after sightseeing in Madrid go to Santander, Gijon,La Coruna,Vigo, Sevilla back to Madrid,has anyone done this? Have 15 days to travel. Is this too much. Thanks
A. I wanted to say that Madrid - Galicia - Sevilla - Madrid would be a lot of driving, I think for the average person it would be cheaper to fly or to get a train or coach than the cost of fuel.
It is driving to the other end's of the country. Think of train prices are 50� for each stop, sometimes there more sometimes there less. and fuel is (has gone up) to around 95cent a litre now (At the Hypermarkets) the branded fuels are as much as 1�+ (Still cheaper than last Summer!)
So if you did want to work out the prices you can now. Also some rental car companies wouldn't allow you to drive this amount of kilometers.
15 days, could even be not enough.
www.spainair.es
www.iberia.es -- cheap airlines that fly inside Spain, prices are from FREE (you pay 40� for the tax) to 300� !
www.hertz.es - a car rential company, there are others but this is one I know.
www.renfe.es - the train company
coaches... there are MANY diffrent companies, so you'd need to look at them from travel sites etc.
Have a nice time, you could stay in Hostels and Motels - a brand of motels is www.ac.hotelsearch.com there are others also - there are some others.
You'd be here for San Ferms (Running of the Bulls) if you wanted to see it for a day, you can sleep in your rental car. take a shower at the free shower points across the city. It is in Navarra - North East Spain, near France.
and rember you don't have to rent a car for the entire trip, if the train from Madrid to Santander was maybe over 100� per-person but it only cost 50� a day to rent the car and around 100� for fuel, then you could rent a car for this part of the trip. & most companies you can take the car back to a diffrent place you rented it from

Minimum age to rent a house,apt,villa, etc. and minimum drinking age?
Q. Im 17 and planning on either going to cancun mexico or somewhere in Italy this summer with a couple of friends. Also is it really expensive to rent in Italy?
A. it depends where and when, and of course which kind of apartment you're looking for; usually an apartment for three or four person in a city like Florence or Rome cost near like a cheap three stars hotel (or a good two stars) in the same city per day.
the real issue is dollar and pund (I don't know where you're from :) are today weak currencies, while euro is strong, so the exchange rate is not good for tourists from the US or the UK.
Drinking age: informations about Italy (along with Spain) are usually the most controversial and often incorrectly reported on the internet: in Italy there isn't a minimum drinking age stated by law, and not even a purchasing age (although the biggest chain of supermarkets in Italy self-applied an 18 limit); the only limit by law: is not possible to serve alcoholic drinks to minor of 16 in public places (during the last couple of years warning signs reporting this limit has been enforced in most provinces; anyway remember the law is the same all around te Country).
