Hello my name is Alison
Firstly Thank you for those that post on the forum. I read the daily updates and find them very informative.
My husband and I are 53 and 52 respectively and would like to retire abroad. We have been looking at Costa Calida as the climate, especially in the winter, sounds great and the property prices hopefully will be in our budget.
Although we are well travelled we have never been to this part of Spain.
We like the look of San Pedro area.
We would like to come over next April for 3 weeks to get a feel of Costa Calida.
Can you lovely people advise of any areas to visit properties and where would be a good area to base ourselves.
We would like to retire where there is a good community spirit with some expats as we do not at the moment speak Spanish but we will of course try to learn. We would need to be within walking distance of shops bars restaurants and if we could walk to the beach within 20 minutes that would be fab. A public pool would be a bonus too. Not a lot to ask! We will not be looking for employment. Of course the move abroad would be dependant on the Brexit outcome. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for taking the time to read and would really appreciate your advise.
Also if anyone knows property we can rent that would be great
