Pulpi - Again!

In anticipation of a discussion over our certificates, I thought it wise to prepare what I needed to say in writing. The official behind the counter at the Town Hall does not speak any english and also insists on speaking Spanish to me at incredible speed - even though he knows I hardly speak any Spanish. He's not the easiest of chaps to deal with, but I have no choice.

Anyway, Thursday last week saw us once again in Pulpi Town Hall. As they issue these certificates all the time, we expected them to tell us there was nothing wrong with them. However, we were surprised on 2 counts - one, the was no sign of the usual gentleman but a nice young lady who actually smiled at us. And secondly, when we explained in our prepared Spanish what our problem was, we saw a light bulb moment across her face - she understood - and they were wrong!

She sat down at the computer, typed something into it and then passed us back the wrong certificates and asked us to comeback on Monday to collect the corrected certificates - fingers crossed - trip 5 may see us with the correct paperwork, maybe we'll have the car by the end of the week.
