I don't mind the bureaucratic nature of Spain, it has been like that for years, and it is me that has to adapt if I wish to live here.
My issue is, if a country insists on being the king of bureaucracy then they should be bloody good at it by now!
It is such a mess, going to the town hall for a typical document finds you packing a rucksack and checking your will before you embark on the........dada 'Quest for the sheet of A4'.
You mentioned your address error, residents of an urbanisation just up the road came out one morning to find they had new door numbers! These were fitted alongside their original numbers, as an example 15 such and such road was to become 44, so they are now 1544 such and such road!
No explanation why, no notification to utility suppliers, and it might have been a tad sensible..........to let the post office know!
You couldn't make it up.
