It's obviously a different lifestyle than on the coast, we didn't want to live in Expatland and as you're thinking of living here, presumably you don't either. I don't know if you are planning a visit soon - it's our Fiesta from 8th to 14th September.

They won't be doing this on Camposol or any golf course urbanisation!

There are a few British people who live in town but most live out in the country (like us).

Good luck.
