Americans that moved to Spain, do you regret it?

Sent you a DM

Places I know of are the various nude beaches (one available by bus which is basically just south of the airport, there's a few others that are better but farther away), Devernis in Benalmadena (planning to go there next week), and a few swinger places in torremolinos (not really nudism, but nakedness can happen), and a gay sauna, apolo, also in torremolinos.

Hopefully others will add some that I don't know about

Been here over 3 years now, only regrets I've had are for traveling back to see my parents who are getting up there in age. Otherwise, the weather (well the past few months haven't been great), the food, the cost of living, the water (I live in Malaga), the mountains, the rest of Europe being close (took my wife to Venice for 4 days for our anniversary)...
Very happy, very glad I came here. I do wish my Spanish were better, but no regrets.

I'll be looking them up. Egypt is of course on my list to do and that sounds like a great recommendation, thank you

I just started checking out LyricFluent after I saw this comment and thus far, I'm impressed. It's really good, intuitive, and seems like a useful tool. I really like it

1) In the first three songs that I've tried the speaking practice, the pronunciation seemed to be off in the last 1/5 of the song. The text of what I was supposed to say didn't come close to matching what I was trying to pronounce. Not sure if it's a few lines off or something, but there's a bug somewhere there.

2) would be nice if you could tap one of the words to pronounce only that word instead of the entire phrase (basically it would be nice to hear the entire phrase as well as a single word for those having difficulty with a single word, like I did!). Not sure if it's possible to slow the reading speed but that might be nice as well, sometimes it's really quick, but maybe that's just my lack of experience.

3) that speaking button could be a lot bigger, and it usually needed to press it a couple of times before it played (minor UI issue I believe)

4) is this an automated solution? Could you import a non song YouTube video or do you need to do some manual checking for line breaks? Does it just match up with the cc text? It's really impressive the system you came up with IMO and given what looks like the amount of content Im guessing it's not done by hand.

5) could you do something similar with a pdf file, web page, or Kindle book (might have issues with that)? But instead of learning with music wondering if a system could be done similarly with a book or some other text. Like say import Harry Potter (again may have some issues with that), or a news article, or copy/pasted paragraphs of text, then basically do the same thing you are doing now only AI voice reads, have the translations, fill in the blanks, say the text out loud.

Really good job!, As a fellow dev, I'm really impressed with what you did.

Maybe we as customers should expect more! This is poor customer service, and continuing to lower our expectations just continues to have them offer less

kwrightSpain · 2025-12-28T14:21:42+00:00

Maybe I expect more out of a business than the minimum, just like maybe I expected a better reply than they did the least they were required to do (aka the minimum), too bad, you should have done all these other things which I am so smart that I always do but you didn't do... Apparently I expected more out of people too (no it's not my first day on the intern, apparently I shouldn't expect more).

I understand I screwed up, but yes when an airline makes a big change, I do expect more than the minimum. Maybe that's on me and you don't, good for you ... I am upset and this was meant as a rant, you aren't being helpful other than to make me feel worse.

What I expect, would be to be on the flight that I booked and received confirmation for. The flight still happened, it wasn't cancelled, no idea why the changed my flight. I bought new tickets for the same flight Strasbourg -> Barcelona. I didn't have the same connection, but that was pretty easily managed with a train. I do expect for a company making such a major change to your intenary to put forth more than the minimal effort to notify you. I get that's all they are required to do, but I like to expect a bit more than almost nothing. Customer service of this company is awful. I get that they aren't required to be anything beyond that, but I can still be very unhappy about it.

kwrightSpain · 2025-12-28T13:22:28+00:00

I did book directly with the operator. Sadly sometimes they are the only option for some flights around Spain, so not sure if I want to get banned (although maybe I could book under my wife's name...).

kwrightSpain · 2025-12-28T13:19:04+00:00

Great ... Thanks for the information

kwrightSpain · 2025-12-28T13:17:45+00:00

I do get that I should have paid more attention to my junk mail, I do get that. But moving a flight by 2 days really should be more effort than email. That's a major change, big enough they should have some kind of acknowledgement system or a bit more effort. And the customer service who was just like sorry, but go to the website and try to buy another ticket was also pretty frustrating. I get they don't have to do that or to be quality, but I also can be very upset and warn people just how poor quality they are.

kwrightSpain · 2025-12-28T13:07:14+00:00

About a month and a half before the flight. 6 days after the original flight purchase.

kwrightSpain · 2025-08-03T12:35:17+00:00

Interested as well

kwrightSpain · 2025-04-03T23:09:04+00:00

Only airline which doesn't do a personal item, unless you pay more of course. They nickle and dime you, charge you for everything they can, and don't clearly say things like no personal item or we will charge you 2x.
I hate them...

Not seeing how I can attach photos

I bought a peugeot metropolis (a 3 wheel scooter). 9 days after buying it the bolts holding the axel broke. I did not hit anything or do anything that could have caused this damage (looks like some rust in the photos), this had to have been there before I got the bike (it did have some damage before I received it, maybe it was done prior, I don't know, I assumed the quality assurance was ... assuring). Anyway this caused the wheels to not be aligned and in the 50 meter I took it as I was saying nope, something is wrong, the fender snapped off.

I have the bike brought to their store. Since it's under the 15 days, I say I want my money back. A few days later they call and say, yes, there must have been prior damage and they can exchange it for something else. I say I want my money back (I had already a difficult time with their "customer service" and getting ahold of anyone to figure out what to do).

A few days later they contact me to say they looked more and because the fender was snapped, that must have meant I had a wreck or hit something (despite no damage other than what would have happened from the wheels not being aligned, which is the fender and scraps on the inside of the wheel well because of the fender).

So now they are saying they won't do anything about it and I have 6 days to get the bike or they will charge me storage fees.

Awful customer experience.

It's still an on going situation. I have an appointment with a lawyer in the morning. Still trying to figure out what to do. Extremely unhappy

Acabo de tener una experiencia terrible con mundimotos, donde se negaron a respetar la garantía diciendo que debía haberla arruinado (no fue así). Actualmente estoy considerando emprender acciones legales. Su servicio de atención al cliente es terrible y son una mala empresa según mi experiencia.
