Hi all.

having recently retired, & being suitably fed up with the weather & one or two other things about England (yes-England not the UK, I am English), I've decided to go abroad.

Looked at loads of countries, as far away as Thailand (fabulous place but have to watch the scams & tricks, the girls will tempt me (again), & the distance. 12 hour flights don't appeal to me anymore), Romania, Bulgaria & the like.

But Spain keeps coming up so this week I started to do my research & over time I'll tell you the good & bad things, if anybody reads & wants to give me a few tips great, if not ........ well suppose I'll manage.

So where do I go mainland or island? rent or buy? I'll let you know eventually

Good luck Gerald this looks like could be an interesting blog.
We've been thinking of making the move for the last three years. We have family in Quesada but what puts me off is the commitment to buy property, it takes ages to sell. Some of the properties we looked at three years ago are still on the market even though they have slashed in value. It's also very very quiet except of course for the silly season!

Was a retired old fart who still likes to be fairly busy but now at a more sedate pace, as my occupation always ran at 90 mph often working above 55 hours per week. Love to see new country areas & ain't afraid of change. In England was secretary of quite a lot of institutions. But I'd be lost without my laptop & am lost without my Sky television. Gonna be interesting learning Spanish (or trying anyway!). But now taken over by me Luca, superdog!!
