Dear Jeff,
Thank you so much for this detailed description of life in Altea.
I am still hesitating about moving there ,but your mail has really helped me with my decision.I feared that Altea would be dead in winter but you saycthis is not the case.That's encouraging,as I will be alone.I am very sociable,but it's a little scary making a major move like this.
I think it may have to be a permanent move for me,or a place where I will live for six months a year.I really haven't made my mind up just yet.
I think the best plan would be to visit Altea soon,flights are direct from Geneva(where I live now) to Alicante.
I know that I don't want to live in Alicante city,it's not for me.Although the beach is lovely there,also playa de St.Juan.
I believe the beach is not the best in Alttea,it has pebbles it seems,but I suppose there are nicer ones in Javea,not too far away.
It's great that you have settled in so well,and feel integrated despite not having fluent Spanish.I speak French very well,so Spanish should not be a big problem.I love languages and learn fairly quickly,have taken about twenty lessons or more already.I love the Spanish language,so this helps enormously.
Well,I will close now, and ask if you would kindly recommend any estate agents who do long term rentals in the area of Altea.
Thank you again.
Best tegards,
Ursula
