Hey Lionda! :)

A great big warm welcome back to you :wub:

Fantastic photos of your new place and the fab views.
So glad to hear you are happy, and feeling settled already.

I know you chose to live in the campo, but have you only got that one neighbour!?
How far away is the village/town?
Just wondering how far away those tapas bars are! :D
I take it you're not worried about feeling a bit isolated there??

The very best of luck to you in your new home.
You look like you're very much at home there on the terrace, drink in hand ;)

Great to have you back on here.
Love Sam xx

We are only 10 minutes from 3 neighbouring towns, Castalla, Ibi and Onil. So plenty of tapas bars to choose from :p It's also nice to have neighbours but not too close. The house near to us belongs to the people we are renting from. Ours is the converted barn :)

It sounds like you're going to be very happy there.
Are you planning to rent until you're sure about where you want to buy?
Do you want to tell us about life on the Urb?? (not prying; just interested in different views)
No worries if you don't want to discuss your business on an open forum! ;)

Have you got your Christams decorations up yet!? :D

Life on the urb - certainly NOT for us! It may suit some people but not what we wanted. Also quite a few problems regarding the builders and lack of paperwork etc, still to be sorted.

Do you have neighbors near of your house? I recommend that you don't live completely isolated, for precaution

Yes we have close neighbours, the people we are renting from are only steps away - our place is the converted barn to their house :) Also there is a Spanish family behind us with a large Alsation dog ;)

Ay'yup Lionda!

Glad you've finally began to settle in Spain. I'm sorry that the urb life wasn't what you hoped for. You'll have to let us know what happened so we can all avoid it.

Smarties sends his regards. His relocation plans are on hold for now as he's got a few other things to be getting on with.

Take care xx
