I am glad that there is someone out there who is pointing out the difference between timeshare and fractional ownership. All a bit new to me as they are similar but different at the same time. I've been looking at a small investment in the Costa de La Luz, Spain, I only have a small amount of cash to invest and this was reccommended to me by my brother in law who is in the City and it looks very good, what is your take on this? there is more information here: <A href="http://www.lodgeinvestment.com">www.lodgeinvestment.com</A> <BR>and here:<BR> <A href="http://www.atlanticparks.com">www.atlanticparks.com</A> <BR>Many thanks for your help in advance, Greg
