General information about living in the area

It might be worth having a look at La Nueva Tercia, lots of repossessions. The three bedroom semi next to us has an asking price of 92000 euros (that’s before any negotiations)

Many thanks, I will have a look. Doug

The issue with being inland is that public transport is almost non existent so you'd also need to factor in car hire or buying a car unless you're going to drive down, in which case you could bring the dog with you.  Its quiet in winter and I guess it depends what your interests are? Lots of golf obviously but also meet ups, walking groups, bowling clubs coach trips etc. What would you want to do whilst you are here? You might get a better idea of suitable  locations if you can answer this. 

Many thanks for your reply, it was helpful.

We would not drive down so I understand what you are saying about local transport.

We would want our Chihuahua with us so would have to find a way of transporting him.

I have not played golf in many years but that is something we could look into, depending on the costs.

We would otherwise be interested in the other type of activities you list.

We would like to get involved with the local community. Although we are both now retired I have worked in many different care homes doing activities for the residents. I now just go as a volunteer to lead singsongs, they couldn't afford to pay me as an activities person. When we lived in Southern Spain for 12 years the only care home we know of closed but since returning we know there is at least one near San Pedro.

We do not need to work but would not want to just plan our Spanish lives around social activities. We love different kinds of music, I am a drummer but probably not much call for that as most musicians now just use a backing track with drums already included.

I taught and my wife, who speaks Spanish also taught and had different shops when in Spain.

So IF we can find a suitable property we will stay using the 90 day rule.
