In Scotland many of the locations that are idyllic in summer aren't quite as attractive out of season. There is still a market for weekend visitors in some places but it's mostly not worth the hassle for holiday rental owners to have to open up then close and clean a property unless they live close by. The number of ''digital nomads'' waning to spend money renting a property at the sea side in winter must be very low.

(Quote from An expat's wife) My wife's always saying that...I do ramble on a bit!! By the way welcome to the forum. Which country is your husband from?

We spent several days up in Foz. The falls were of course the main reason for going. I can't say I'd want to stay more than a few days there though. I certainly won't be returning.

(Quote from An expat's wife) I do like the Villa La Angostura area. Being Scottish it reminds me of 'home'. I could live there.

(Quote from An expat's wife) My wife!!

I've not been to the seaside here. Never fancied it either from the pictures I've seen down Mar del Plata and other places mentioned here. I'm probably wrong but they all look rather uninteresting....nowt else but sand and sea? I like rocky pools,cliffs,picturesque fishing villages....and the odd castle.

(Quote from An expat's wife) Hmmmm...still not convinced. I suspect if we lived in Buenos Aires my thoughts would be very different though.

(Quote from Splinter) I certainly wouldn't be paying those prices. I'd rather just go to Europe. The MIL's neighbour who is a doctor has just returned from Spain with her sister. They go on a hand baggage fare only, buy suitcases when there and fill 'em with lots of shopping. They reckon the money saved paid for the holiday!! She asked my missus the other day if she wanted to buy some suitcases.

(Quote from Rice) Still not convinced. Mind you, the Scottish coastline has everything so it's no wonder I'm hard to please. The weather is dodgy right enough.

(Quote from An expat's wife) After spending a few hours in Buenos Aires yesterday which confirmed my opinion I'm amazed you have to ask? (Quote from Splinter) Siberian.

(Quote from An expat's wife) Indeed. We have two hummingbird nests outside. Used to be three but one fell during a storm. Glad to say there were no eggs or young ones in it at the time.
