Happily, in recent times mains electricity and water have become the norm and access to telephones and the internet commonly available. In the past, life could be hard - many of the mountainous areas nearer the beach were historically very poor and the infrastructure reflected this. It's a way of life that for many of us has to be learned - I wish I had a Euro for every time someone who tells me that they have moved to Spain for a relaxed way of life then complains about how long it takes to get things done or asks why the banks or shops aren't open! It takes some getting used to, but when you get there it's well worth the journey!
Even more, it's a way of life where family and friends are really important where stopping for a coffee and chatting to aquantances is more important than business where 'things' take second place to people and where everything takes its time. It's a varied countryside with mountains, plains and lakes, and a wonderful view around every corner.
