Hi ,

I'm wondering g how much of a problem the flies really are, for example do they hinder you using outside space, the pool etc as one of the main reasons for moving to Spain is to be able to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks

Depends on where you move to.  Down by the coast, not an issue at all, however inland SOME areas have pig farms nearby and are often obliged to have fly screens enclosing outside areas for them to be useable

We notice at this time of year no flies and live near pig farms. Best to have fly screen enclosures fitted.

Have been to areas where no farms and still see fly screen enclosures.

Flies in Spain are allways a problem like most hot countries in anduluica there are lots of them and so many different ones. Unlike the ones in uk thease are like African flies they land on your face and stay there fly screens have to be fitted.
