I could do with a hand Sept, Almond Harvest 500 trees , Nov- Dec Olive harvest 200 trees , winter oranges, Garden 10 months of year. Cutting wood for wood burner, Painting/ Maint of Cortijo, Spanish lessons, meeting friends. fishing, trips in the countryside. The list is endless i am in my fifth year and it seems like yesterday that we drove down from uk. I would first rent for 6 months and keep property in uk We have an estate agent friend who says if you last 9 months you are normally ok and a lot dont last which financially is a disaster for them.The add on taxes of buying and selling in a falling property market should make anyone cautious. Dont be put off its a fabulous counrty with wonderful friendly people choose area and friends wisely. |
Re: What does everybody do?
It is amazing how fast the time flies by. It seems like yesterday that we first moved here, it's actually over 3 years ago. Family and friends visit. We have made new friends in our village. We pop out to get the bread and return six hours later. People are so much friendlier here. If you make the effort, even by just saying 'Hola' they appreciate it. We have been invited to weddings, communions, children's birthday parties and for dinner in our Spanish neighbour's house.
We live in a beautiful part of Andalucia which is an ideal spot for artists. I am teaching myself to draw, slowly. I go to the markets and buy books. We both enjoy photography and walking. We have been to all the villages in our area and taken many photos. We also write a daily blog of our life here in Spain. We have three border collies, four cats, two donkeys and are looking after 5 motherless kittens at the moment. I am not sure if I can post our website addresses here, but if anyone is interested pm me and I will send you the links. |
