Hi everyone

Myself and my partner have decided we are going to try a new life in Spain.  We have no children so have nothing to lose except money of course. Our aim is to give it 100% after which we will hopefully be happy with our decision or if not we can return home.  Our motivation for moving country is a combination of the following:  We would like to live in a warmer climate.  No, we're not expecting it to be perfect but perhaps more suited to living a more outdoor lifestyle. We love all outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, water activities and socialising with people.  We'd like to make friends, join clubs, go dancing. Yes we know we still have to work, probably very hard, and do all the same mundane things as we're doing at home and the novelty of living in a better climite will wear off somewhat.  What we need at this moment is good honest advice and information on anyone who had the same idea as ourselves and how they got on etc. We need both good and bad experiences.   We aim to take our time and at least try and go about the move in the best possible way.  At the moment we havent a clue which area we'd like.  We thought it might be better to buy a business, work hard and learn the language before trying to go down the "get a job" route, buy a house etc.  We'd appreciate any information on recommended locations. 

Thanks a million

G & M
