Wow best of luck. Soooo jealous!! Would love to know how you get on living there permanently so do post the details on here how its going. We hope to take early retirement eventually (still too young with mortgage to pay) so we can spend more time there. Out there next in September - cant wait. Lovely place and people. My Spanish neighbour and her family are lovely but would be nice to meet some expats so if you and your wife meet/make a group then interested in joining. There are a few expats in our village but they seem to keep themselves to themselves. Do you have friends/family there already?

Hi Andy and Matt, Good luck with your new venture. - sounds so exciting. Do post the address once you are up and running so we can hopefully send business your way

Rosemary

Sorry but they will not be able to do this as advertising is not allowed on the forum.

oops sorry. perhaps they can message me instead so I can pay them a visit

Rosemary

I am sure that they will be grateful for any local information that you are able to provide for them long before they are up and running especially any that help them with overcoming difficulties that only those living in the area know about.
