In this edition we’ve focused on ideas that work with the heat, not against it. From light, low-maintenance home upgrades to small outdoor projects that make a big impact, we’ve packed it with things that are genuinely useful this time of year. Because July isn’t about fuss—it’s about keeping things simple, easy and enjoyable. Whether you’re staying cool with the shutters drawn or out every night under the stars, we hope this issue gives you a few ideas to make summer that bit sweeter.

 

Talking about staying cool – have you heard of Colour Window Film? Not only does it help keep cool air in, thereby reducing the cost of air conditioning, but in winter it helps keeps the warm air in. These are just a few benefits – turn to page 21 to find out more and contact Colour Glass Window Tint who cover Murcia, Valencia and Andalucía.

 

In addition to features around home improvements, if you’re thinking of purchasing a property please make sure you read the article on the importance of a structural survey – check out the article by Martinez de la Casa on page 10. And with that in mind, it may also be the time to review (or make!) a Spanish will and, whilst at it, consider the benefit of taking out a funeral plan. It genuinely can never be early enough to think about these things. For more information visit page 17.

 

Are you a holiday home owner and thinking of purchasing a vehicle for use during your stays in Spain? Worried maybe that you can’t register a vehicle here if non resident? Think again! Our feature on page 36 clears up any confusion and explains how Car Registrations Spain can help you with this.

 

And men – yes, we’re talking to you guys, turn to page 38 to find out more about ‘Mens Wellness’. A subject for many years considered “taboo” and not being taken seriously, but things are changing for the better thankfully. Have a good read – hopefully just by spending those 5 minutes it will make things look so much brighter and put things much more in perspective.

 

Remember to check out our ‘What’s On’ feature – essential if you don’t want to miss charity events, music nights, bingo meetings, markets, group gatherings, local and national holidays, fiestas, drama performances, church services etc.

 

Everyone at some stage needs tradesmen, translators, accountants, insurance, legal services, property sales/management company, removal companies, to name a few. Visit our Business Directory to find what you need and don’t forget to mention where you found them!

 

And finally, just a quick reminder to look after yourself in the sunshine. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, remember your sunscreen and take that siesta. A little care goes a long way in making sure you enjoy summer feeling your best.

 

Also, let’s not forget our four-legged friends. Pavements can become dangerously hot during the day, so always check the ground before walking your dog and avoid peak heat hours. And whatever you do, never leave pets in a parked car, even for a few minutes. A little extra caution can save lives.

 

All this and much more in July’s issue of Home & Living. Enjoy your read and enjoy July.
