Discovering a new life in Costa Almeria

Having made the decision that full time work really is bad for your health,my husband convinced me that we should get 2 puppies and retire early. What I hadn't anticipated was that retirement would see us in Almeria, in southern Spain. This is our story from making the decision to move to our life here. For more posts read the full blog at http://relocatetospain.blogspot.com. What I hadn't realised was that I wasn't ready to retire so after 2 years we are back in the UK. However, when I am finally ready to retire - Spain is still in the mix.

The Terreros Treasure Hunt (Part 3 - The End)

So, we find the train station and we need to find the date the building was built. Lucy and I got out of the car looking for the stone that had been laid somewhere with the date on it. It wasn't on the front, not at the gate, not in the floor. By this time we have been joined by several other groups and we are all now running around like demented chickens trying to succeed where others were failing - and failing ourselves.


Being Sunday afternoon the station was all closed up as there were no further trains and eventually we came across a security guard who was most helpful and gave us a date of 1889.


Now, ask yourself, would anyone from Group 4 Security, looking after a building in the UK know when it was built? No, so why would we really believe that a spanish security guard would be so interested in the building he was protecting to have taken the trouble to find out all about it, including when it was built - oh how he must have laughed when he told his colleagues over a beer that evening how gullible the english are!
