Best Travel Tip - Head south for the best of the Canarian Sun April 09, 2008 Europeans, especially Germans, Dutch, Scandinavians and the British tend to think of the Canary Islands as a winter sun resort.

19. Be selective, investors in Germany advised February 12, 2008 When it comes to property investment, Germany appears to represent a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, it is a well-known fact that the country does not have the sort of property-owning culture that the UK does.

While some may put this down to the effects of reunification ... (read more) Author: Jim Barnaby
