Elche is the third largest city in Spain’s Valencian Community following Valencia and Alicante. It is also the 20th most populous city in all over Spain.
With a population of more than 200,000, Elche is a stone’s throw away from the airports of Alicante and Murcia. There’s also an easy access to Cartagena and Torrevieja using the area’s motorway links.

Help Required – Do you Live in Spain?
Can we ask you a question or two via email to help get some local tips and advice that would help others?
It might be something like, what is it like to live in your village or what things are there to do and see locally?
We will publish any answers on the website (and perhaps the next newsletter) with your quote, crediting your name as the source as if it would be published in a newspaper.

5 Reasons The Euro to Pound Exchange Rate Could Soon Continue to Climb
08.09.2016
Peter Lavelle
Welcome to Pure FX’s latest update of the euro to pound exchange rate.
The common currency may soon strengthen versus sterling! The euro to pound interbank exchange rate has hit 0.8440 today, just –2.5 cents below its highest since August 2013.
What’s more, the euro could rise further against the pound, looking forward. Here are 5 reasons why:
1. The pound could weaken, because respected economics body NIESR has warned that there’s a 50/50 chance that the UK may fall into recession before the end of 2017.
2. Sterling may decline, because UK manufacturing production fell –0.9% in July, in the month immediately following the vote for Brexit, the sharpest drop in a year.
3. The pound could fall, because Bank of England deputy governor Jon Cunliffe said yesterday that “I would expect to vote for another cut in [UK interest rates] this year.”
4. Sterling may lose out, because Markit chief economist Chris Williamson recently warned of “a broadly stagnant economy as a whole” in the UK, following the vote for Brexit.
5. The pound could drop, because Tony Pidgley, chief executive of home builder Berkeley Group, has warned that London “will fall well short of its targets for new homes” in 2016.
Given all this, the euro to pound interbank exchange rate could soon rise!
