Hi Phil,
Yes people are still coming to buy, but as you already know we actually sell in Aragon, but because of the geography of the area, and bordering Catalunya we always bring the clients down to Tortosa to obtain their NIE numbers.
It all just seems so damned ridiculous that they spent all that money on building a purpose made office for NIE applications, to change to another system which obviously is not going to work for foreigners, but like you say that could all be part of the master plan!!!!!!!!!!
