Andalucia is more populated, gets less rainwater and has not had such problems. <BR/>Best luck!

If you finally move to Extremadura, you will find much dead branches and vegetable refuse, because the woods are not very well tended. <BR/><BR/>However, I see a small handicap to your plans: 10.000 litres of water weigh 10 tonnes, and you will need a very capable scaffolding to hold such a tank, or hide it in the floor or watever. In my experience not all floors or basements are able to support about 1 tonne for each square meter, so probably you will need a good concrete slab to place your tank on. Probably you've already thought of that. Best luck!Iñigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697654087097035407noreply@blogger.com
