We have lived very close to LORCA for almost 10 years and have never met a single British or Irish person who lives there!  Are there any?

I think there are a fair few, Peggy, but all spread out and probably more in Purias direction.

Hello, sorry for the late reply; I've been in England trying to escape the heat of Spain for the past few weeks.  I return on the 30 August.

Off hand I don't know any builders, we used Russians whom were really good, but unfortunately they've moved away.  However when I go back I can do a bit of digging around for you, but of course you may have already have someone.

Do be careful, I wouldn't recommend leaving any builders you do not know well to their own devices, English or Spanish!

We are Closer to the Almenara Centre so a little away from you.

We would be happy to meet for a coffee.
