cycle shops in or around gibralta
 
Hi,
I am new on here and i am so pleased to find this site.I dream like many people of setting a new life up in spain.I have been over several times to the mainland ,ballearic islands and even canaries.
My question is this: Does anyone know of any cycle shops in or around gibralta ?As i am looking for an area to work or even set up cycle tours / hire etc.
As far as i know i have not there are none.
I have over 25 years in the cycle industry and am desperately trying to learn spanish as i know this will improve my chances of work.:confused:
Our children have grown up so my wife and i just want to earn enough to pay the bills over there.We are going to rent to see if it works out.
Thanks for any help / advice given.Kevin
TRYING TO LIVE THE DREAM:confused:

I know little about bikes, but I know slightly more about Gib, CDS and CDLL. Research the area and make sure there is a market in that area, I wouls have thought around ronda more productive, but like Isaid, I know little.
Good luck
