Hi Cliff h Just doing the maths, you could do 15 days every month, or half a month of every month. Which should be fine.
You would need to be careful pushing it like that. If you didn't do the same 15 days in your first and last calendar months you could be in danger of breaching 90/180 in your seventh month as you might not have left a big enough gap.

I would have thought you should blame those that came up with the schenegen rules, so i guess you mean blame the EU, same as you can blame the EU for the missing British food stuffs etc etc etc that are no longer available in Spain, quite sure Britain is happy to supply these but its the EU...

... that are banning the supply, maybe you can petition Brussels,
A history of the schenegen can be found at the below link, though not attributable to the EU in name it was an agreement by those in the EU.
Yeah let's blame someone else for a problem created by us.

Spot on, people on this board keep taking brexit personally yet the millions that voted for and against it did not give 2 hoots for what happened with ex pats, why would they, they are a fraction of a percentage point, brexit was about so much more.
People voted fully aware they were denying people the right to live in properties they'd bought through years of hard work, basically they just didn't care as long as they could stop Polish people getting into Britain, it was a selfish vote based on xenophobia and 5 years later I'm still angry that people voted away our freedoms. I never wanted to get residency here, I just wanted to come and go as I pleased like every other European can, I bought my home here 13 years ago in good faith as an EU passport holder after 45 years of work but have had the rug pulled from under me, so yes I take it personally and I'll probably always be angry about it.

I dont get that as its always been the same you weren't supposed to stay more than 180 days but the Spanish and Europe turned a blind eye to it 🤷♂️🤷♂️.
The vote was against immigration pure and simple people weren't made aware of all of the consequences that would potentially follow, my vote was to stay as this was never going to turn out well why would it or everyone would want to leave.
I dont want to get into any debates over this its only my opinion so to anyone who feels offended and wants to gyrate over my head apologies 🥰🥰

It is just stupid
Unfortunately a (small) majority of people in the uk (and strangely some Brits here!) voted for this.

I sometimes wonder if some of you get pleasure out of pointing out things that cause others upset. I read comments and am aghast and shake my head in horror. We are all human beings doing our best to get through life and do not want or deserve rotten little jibes. Many people have bought holiday ...

...homes in Spain and enjoy spending time in them. The Schengen rules have always existed but not implemented which is exactly what I think Spain will continue to do so let’s all wait and see. I know it angers many people that retired people from all over came over to Spain and stayed longer than 6 months but continued to pay their taxes in their home countries. I wonder if the tax in Spain was less than it is in the U.K. would you continue to go on about it! Lots of elderly folk have very little to live on and opt to remain with their own nation to save some money so be charitable and understand their reasons. Yes, I know the same applies to many of you now permanently living and paying your taxes in Spain, just be thankful that you are honourable people and doing the right thing. Our lovely Swedish neighbour used to stay in her little apartment for 8 months and then return to Sweden for the summer and never worried that she had overstayed her allotted time. Sadly, she’s too old to return anymore so we won’t have the pleasure of having her live across from us. On the other side of the coin, the only people who don’t pay their urbanisation fees are the Spanish and there’s no shame in them. I see their grandchildren using our pool and enjoying themselves regularly but I’m not going to cause trouble or embarrassment, I don’t know why they aren’t contributing to the upkeep of the place but we pay ours as is expected.
I will finish by asking those who seem to get great joy out of other peoples distress to think about it and please offer help instead of being judgemental.
How gorgeous to read such a wise and all embracing non judgmental response, thank you

The truth was very cleverly hidden by the UK Government to get the vote to leave the EU which is exactly what they wanted. They told so many lies to get that result and still a lot of people in the UK do not realise the truth. They still think to leave was simply to keep out people from the EU wh...

...ere, in fact, it is people from outside the EU that cause the problems coming into the UK. While we are on the subject, where is the 350 million that was promised to the NHS brazenly embellished on the side of a double decker bus gone? There was no mention of withdrawing from the Customs Union, of imposing tax on imports ( which they surely can't expect to do without EU countries doing the same in the reverse)
Millions were fooled into voting to leave and now they and everyone else is paying dearly for the stupid decision.
you will see if you look.
Try the £12 Billion yes £12 billion the UK Government has spent on the NHS in the last year alone and still spending more. So what else do you want?
before spraying around facts - have a bit of intellectual rigour and check them out first.

Not like they had a choice but to spend big, a fair chunk seems to have gone to their cronies though.

here's what 5 seconds of 'Googling' found....
https://keepournhspublic.com/government-lost-control/
The '12 billion' which was 'spent' on the NHS included hundreds of millions in contracts given to cronies including materials that ended up being useless and not fit for purpose; millions given to Deloitte to investigate and set up the failed track and trace system; millions given to companies such as confectionary companies to supply PPE; The list goes on and it soon mounts up.
