Hello everybody,

My name is Gary and I've just joined BritishExpats.

I have owned a property in Elda just north of Alicante for just over 10 years which I've been using as a holiday home whilst working in the UK.

I'm currently semi retired and normally in Spain every 6 weeks or so but
during the next few months I'm planning to take early retirement (I'm 62) and move to Spain permanently.

I'd like to know if there are any Ex Pat "Hangouts" near to Elda where I could socialise and get to know others.

Thanks
