Hire company probably found out you drive a volvo and gave you what they thought was an equivalant
As regards foto's

go and stand in the corner facing the wall

Nice time? oh yeah, I only mentioned Boobies
The hire car was battered, covered in damage and when I returned it they never even bothered to look at it

mind you they rip you off so badly they must make huge margins enough to cover the loss in value at the end. Without saying beforehand they fill the car for you and demand 75 euro's for the pleasure before you can take it and if you bring it back with fuel left then it's your loss not theirs, I had at least 15 ltrs left
I'll say one thing for sure - Spain is flipping expensive now

we went to a Supermarket on the first day for the usual bits for the Villa like loads of soft drinks, some beer/wine, stuff to make a meal/breakfast etc and the bill came to 87 euros

we thought that the equivalent stuff in the UK would have been about 65 quid
A simple meal for 4 with soft drinks was about £70.00 a large beer is about £3.00.
One problem was that I had to drive everywhere and you can't drink anything - I mean
anything and they're having a crack down with police everywhere. Their drink-drive limit is half of ours in the UK so just one large beer could see you in Jail with your licence in trouble
