Hi there, it has been well over a year since I have been able to travel to Spain but am paying bills for power, water and internet. Given that it will be at least 6 months more could I cancel any of these - and if I did would there be an issue getting reconnected afterwards?

Thanks David

It would be expensive to cancel water and electricity, as a reconnection would be expensive. Furthermore I wouldn't expect it to be reconnected as quick as expected. Internet could probably be stopped with one month's notice.

Hi Dagurney

As Kenneth1 says it would be expensive to get reconnected to your utilities, internet would depend on your contract I signed a 2 year deal last July so I would have to pay that up its not worth doing, I am afraid we are all rowing in the same boat without land insight at the moment hopefully within the next 6 months the fog will clear and the good old Costa shoreline will be visible to us, stick in and stay safe is my suggestion.

Regards

Andrew

Thanks for the positive thought of return to the Costa.
