Hello All
Just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting any questions. I'm Jan and hubby is Pete - we are moving to the Axarquia region within the next few months. Any of you nice people from that area?

Thanks for the welcome guys - we will be living in Alfarnatejo. Does anyone know of an indoor pool in the Axarquia region?

Shep43

Alfarnatejo is about 1 and a half hours from Torrox where there is a pool but the local council have over spent so there is no roof on it yet. My auntie is moving to Alfarnatejo in October because she has friends there. I believe it is one of the highest villages in the Axarquia.

Is your aunt moving to Villa Alta?

Shep43

Not sure where her friends, Len and Freda, live but my auntie is moving to a log cabin style home next to them.

Hi Shep
It sounds as though it could be Villa Alta. That's where we're moving to. We are moving into a park home on VA - which is a gated community. (I think that's the term they use anyway

Welcome!
We lived in La Cala de Moral for a while - it was lovely. I can't believe more people haven't discovered the Axarquia coast yet!

Thank you. Not sure where Cala de Moral is - where do you live now?

Hi welcome to BE.
We are about 30 mins drive from where you will be. We have only been here 2 months so I don't know about indoor pools (still using the outdoor one).
When are you hoping to move?

janis4006

Hi there Sunnydee
Nice to hear from you. We are hoping to be there before Christmas but if not, shortly after. Are you enjoying your new life? I can't wait!!
Jan

Yes we are really enjoying it. We haven't had any problems yet but we did a lot of research before coming out so were prepared for queues at police stations, social security offices etc. And people on the forum have been really helpful with things we needed to know.
Our lives are so much more relaxed now.

janis4006

Excellent, are you working at the moment?

sunnydee

Yes I'm working but the OH is at home doing the housework for now until he learns a bit more Spanish. I don't need Spanish in my job but I can speak a bit anyway - I understand more.
