When you compare alarm quotes in Spain, sooner or later you’ll come across a phrase that sounds very technical: “grade 2 system”. Some companies mention it in passing, others use it as a selling point, and many clients ask us whether it really...

Many of the calls we get aren’t from owners worried about burglary, but from sons and daughters who live far from their parents. Parents who are getting on, living alone in a villa in La Nucia or an apartment in Benidorm, and who their children want to give a...
