Merry Christmas everyone, I am looking to move to Canyada Del Trigo but want to make sure that there is a network of English speaking people first.
I have lived in Spain for a while but not in this area.
If any one in Canyada del Trigo, or close by, would mind showing me the ropes, nearest DIY, vets ets, and/or sharing a glass of wine occasionaly plz reply. Lesely

Pinoso ..... that's in the middle of nowhere Saying that there is a very good car boot site with cafe/bar

Lesely

Thanks Liona, I like a car boot,, Yer very remote thats why I want to find out more before I move. Still only 45 min from coast though.
On Tuesdays the bar does free paella when you get a drink, thats 2 good things!!!!
Its suppose to have a high population of Brits.
Would still like to get intouch with some one that lives there..

Hi we are in the next village, Canad de la Lena. Let me say from the start, it may be in the sticks but you are 40 minutes from the airport or most of the coastal locations in the area.

Ex-pats, well Trigo has a few, about as many as our village, maybe 10-20 couples, but the surrounding area has loads. Go into Pinoso on market days, sat or wed, and you are falling over Brits, you can't take two steps without hearing an essex accent Again Pinoso has many shops and even more cafe bars/restaurants to choose from. Pinoso is alledgely the 4th richest town in Spain, thanks in part to the nearby white marble quarry.

Once you have been there a short while and made contacts you'll wonder why you took so long to make the move!

EDIT:

The car boot has moved now, did so last year. We have a two very good friends just down the road from Trgo, in an even more backwoods called Zarza, just past the huge array of solar panels that supply yours (and mine) electricity.

Thanks Bri & Katee for your reply.
I saw a reply that you did in Aug 2007 in much the same vein.
It would be nice to know a couple of people before moving, its dificult to get to know some one in the street....
Im looking forward to moving but it some times takes a while, so it gives me time to do my home work.

It's only a half-hour drive to Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa, there's millions of us here.

Thanks Mr HBG for your reply.
Ive got my heart set on a house in Canyada del Trigo and my biggest worry is that I wouldnt know anyone or have anyone I could turn to if Im in trouble.
I have good neighbours here and we all look after each other, young and old.
Or.... if you know "a nice young man" who is 6ft + 50ish and likes cats, that can show me around !!!!!
