Hi George, Gina and Josh,
I agree with everything that’s been said so far. Costs are definitely less here than in the U.K. you may need someone to look after your affairs here, making sure you are getting the better deal regarding the equivalent of council tax, rates, etc.
However, if you thinking of staying here permanently will you be looking for work?
I don’t mean to be nosey but it is not easy for anyone at the moment. Yecla is one of the town’s that has very low unemployment as there is a lot of furniture manufacturing related businesses and industries.
Will your son get bored? There are certainly activities for teenagers but not sure if your son is proficient in Spanish yet to feel comfortable.
Hopefully things will go just fine for you. Remember the winter months have very cold nights!
I live just up the road in the Villena campo, near the Sanctuary. We are currently doing lots of work on our property. Although we would be in different counties, (Yecla is Murcia, Villena is Alicante) if you need any help, just let me know.
Good luck,
Janice
