Off to Pulpi - 3rd time

Wednesday, we found out, is market day in Pulpi, so parking was a nightmare, but it did mean when we had finished at the Town Hall we could have our first visit to a Spanish market. Neil was at golf so I had gone through with Jody & Cadey.

Once again, on arriving at the Town Hall we were lucky to find there was no queue. I asked for our empadriamento's - passed over our passports so they could check our names and the council official brought out this huge file of certificates - all I can imagine is that there are a lot of people that don't bother going in for them - they obviously don't have a car waiting for them to pick up.

After slowly flicking through the pile of certificates, he closed his file and got up - they weren't in there. While we waited I was listening to the radio that was on in the office and then the irony struck me - we were in an official Spanish building, with people working there who don't speak english - and they were listening to an english speaking radio channel - bizarre!

After about 10 minutes, he came back with 2 certificates in hand - success. I paid my money (€24.80 I think) and we left with a big smile on our faces.

I'll talk about markets in a later post, for this one we were on our way to the garage to give them copies of the certificates and they could then get the car taxed.

A couple of hours later I received a phone call from the garage with bad news, the certificates had not been accepted by the traffica - they were wrong, there was no date on them saying when we were first registered on the padron - we would need at least 1 more trip to Pulpi to sort it out.

Are we ever going to get this car?
