@ Anthony: To be honest I normally login to my mails daily while away. I can have Broadband installed but as I only use my place once ot twice a year it is not worth it as it's quite expensive because of the backwards cabling system they have!
As it happens I have just bought a 18db Wifi Yagi antenna to test on our new pemises. If it works as well as I have heard (up to 5m line of site but I will believe it when I see it!), I will stick one on the roof in spain. Imagine the access points you could pick up with that!
The missus wouldn't be too keen as I wouldn't be able to help myself and stay glued to my laptop! However as I said, it was quite nice to switch off for a few days and let others handle the stress. Everytime I go I consider relocating there for longer periods (all summer) as it's only 2.5 hours away by Ryanair. However with 90% of my client base in the UK it would become a nightmare logistically at some stage.
@ Pioneering Products: Yes we have Sky installed at my place and although it is a UK service, the signals happen to travel to Spain quite nicely. It must have been freak weather conditions
