Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hi. I currently live on the Costa Blanca with my husband and 3 young children. We are looking to relocate to the Ayamonte region. Can anyone provide me with some useful information about where to start looking for property, local schools, business opportunities etc...
All my children were born here in Spain, and we have always been self employed, so we are looking to start up a business.
Any information that can be provided would be a huge help to me.
Many Thanks and Kind Regards, Hayley.

Hello and welcome, I too am looking at moving there. Try these agencies, El Galeon, Gibara and Euro Alquileres, they all showed me houses in the area varying in price from about 500 euros to 900 euros. Some furnished some not. There are many more agencies in town also. I cannot help with the other things sorry, but sure somebody will be along with more information for you. Do a search of this part of the site it is packed with info. :)

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Welcome to the forum. There is a load of information on this forum - you could start with the 'useful information thread' and then maybe search the forum using keywords for topics (eg ISTR there was a thread on schools, one on transport, one on furniture packs, one on things to do, one on restaurants etc etc). Then if you ask specific questions I'm sure someone will have done it before and will be able to help.
You could also have a look at http://www.infoayamonte.com/
Good luck

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hi Haley, I'm sure other posters will be able to help with your enquiries but I would like to just warn you that times are very hard here as everywhere else and the few Brits left running businesses are, I'm sure, finding it tough along with the Ayamonte locals. When we first moved here there were loads of new shops/restaurants/buinesses etc all with the aim of providing a service for the then influx of new residents which sadly has come to a halt. The only places still remaining are the long standing Spanish restaurants/businesses and a couple of Expat enterprises. I'm not trying put you off but trying to give you a realistic appraisal of the situation. I will say ,however, that housing is readily available and I'm sure you would find the local schools great. I hope this is of some help and I wish you good luck for the future, regards Bryony

Hi,

Apart from searching through this sub-forum, here's another website which might prove helpful (eg. schools, health centre etc.) for starters:

I've been looking through another website today, and am finding all sorts of interesting information (well, IMO):

You can watch the match between CD San Roque and another team from Jaen, live, at 17.00hrs (Spain time).:thumbup:

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hi Hayley,

You could visit Homes & Fincas website as they may be able to help you re property. Do you or your husband have any financial services qualifications or experience as I am in the process of setting up a new business in the Ayamonte area and may have some openings in due course.

Look forward to hearing from you if I can be of help.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region

Glad to hear that you have recently purchased in Costa Esuri - could I ask which development? Someone here may be able to put you in touch with neighbours, the Residents Association etc if you wish.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hello everyone,

Although I do not live on the Esuri development I should very much like to meet people ther and wondered if the residents have an open night or some such get together where outsiders can come and buy them a drink!?

Look forward to meeting you all.

Kind regards,

Alaric

See http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...614581&page=31 post #458. Invitation to a social meeting event in the Club House.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

The event Mike posted about just above will have a lot of people so bring a fat wallet! :)

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hi,

I must be getting too old for technology because I cannot find the event referred to on the site but I will be happy to do the washing up if that would help?

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

This is where Mike was trying to direct you towards:-

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Dear John & Kath,

Many thanks for that but is it open to non-residents?

Regards,

Alaric

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Of course we will be trying to recruit new members to the association and you would not be eligible for that but you would be very welcome to attend. There is a small charge to play Bingo and drinks and snacks are available at the Bar. There should be a good attendance of residents and visitors (it is half term in UK) also we hope friends from the Town of Ayamonte will also join us.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Dear John & Kath,

Many thanks for that. We look forward to meeting you all on Saturday then.

Kind regards,

Alaric et al

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

i don't know about every area in the UK but where i am it is half term this week not next week so although Saturday is still technically half term it is at the end of the week and when people will be thinking about going home as it will be back to school/work on Monday.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Dear Kath & John, Liam, Philip et al,

Thanks for a very good evening and well done with the turnout. Hope you managed to sign up plenty of new members.

It was a pleasure to meet you all and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Kind regards,

Alaric

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

You are most welcome to join us for our social events we will post in advance of the next one. Hope you had a good journey home we were grateful that you traveled over an hour to be with us.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Dear John & Kath,

That´s very kind of you and we look forward to the next one!

No problems on the roads and it is warming up nicely here today.

Kind regards,

Alaric

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

All I can say at this stage is that it was a very good night for all concerned and the CERA gained new members and made one lucky table won three prizes. There will be a full report with pictures on the CERA website and when that pops up I will post a link on here.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hi John,

sounds like the night was a success and a big turnout,must have been the bingo prizes?,are the CERA planning to have events each month or qrtly?.

Ken.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Hi Ken flushed with success there was talk of them being monthly but El Presidente is also asking us to think of fresh ideas as well!
I think you have to be sensible and try to coincide events with say UK half terms or we will be relying on our Spanish friends to line our coffers. Last night we had English, Scottish, Swedish, Finish Russian, South African, Belgian, Portuguese and of course our Spanish hosts in good numbers. I think we have to say a very big thank you to our Bingo Caller and fellow cmttee member Chrissy who managed to call in most of those language's.

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

I hope there were some Irish representitives attending! Watch ur pools on the the 17th next month, they are likely to turn green for St. Patricks day !

Re: Moving to the Ayamonte Region
 

Sorry of course there were indeed Liam was sat at our table! I also omitted to thank the Golf Dourado team who provided half time tapas, drinks at the tables, prizes and unfailing cheerfulness.

Lovely pic. Bought here recently, just over today, can't believe the temperatures- bliss. I'm hoping to get a simcard with topup credit any recommendations welcome. The signal in costa issuri seems to favour portugees mobile providers.
