possible move to Benidorm
 
Hello Everyone
My wife and I are in our mid 50's and want to start taking things a little easier. I have a full HGV / LGV AND PCV driving licence and my wife is a manager at Mcdonalds restaurant and really just want part time work as we have a small income from rental property in the uk.
I'm looking for advice on local bus / coach companies to contact for employment. We would be considering moving over either oct 2016 or march 2017 and plan on living frugally for most of the year returning to the UK when it gets too hot.
All suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks.
Matt

Hi, The local bus service just for Benidorm and surrounding areas is the llorente bus company. LLorente Bus Benidorm they have literally hundreds of busses running continuously throughout the day in Benidorm.

There are loads of other bus company's doing local tourist trips and airport runs. I would imagine you will need to speak fluent Spanish to work for any local service.

If I can help with specific questions about Benidorm let me know and I'll try to help.

I have been on a few of the tourist trips and even though all of the staff of the company were English there were never any English drivers only Spanish ones.

We haven't heard back from the original OP so don't know if they are still considering the move. I think they were thinking of moving out in October '16.

Perhaps you could tell us what you are thinking about doing and when you are likely to be moving out to Benidorm?

Fantastic place to live if you accept it as it is. :p

Steve
