Look up Costa Blanca Buddies, we are mostly about your age or older, couples and singles. We meet weekly on Fridays in different areas but not usually far from you, Benijofar, Playa Flamenca etc. you would be very welcome, usually go somewhere where you can eat if you wish or just have a drink and chat.

If you like walking, there is a local walking group. A lot of members live at el raso & surrounding areas.
Guardamar social walkers have a group on Facebook. One of administrators is called John Softly.
There are single people & couples in the group.

Try asking in your local bars.
In Legends have a word with George or Mo
In O’Briens speak to Carl or Debbie
Or if you can wait till next week call into the El Bar when that reopens.
All three bars run all sorts of groups and societies
Once the Christmas break is over and the bars have all resumed normal winter hours I know there are plans for a few new groups

If you’re on Facebook join a group called Friends & Solos, Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja and vega baja área. Very friendly and normally a lunch meeting every week amongst other evrjys

Hi All, I am in the process of relocating to Spain, have my NLV just trying to secure my TIE appointment. As soon as I have that I will travel down to Alicante, It would be great to meet up with some friendly faces on arrival or later in a bar etc. I will also be thinking of looking for an apartment somewhere locally.
Little about me: I am 69 in two weeks, (where did those years go) and married, ex Royal Marine and also considering going back on the square in Spain. my wife should be joining me later as soon as she receives her Visa's from Peru. Enjoy walking and like to Walk on Dartmoor where I currently live.
Look forward to hearing from anyone who is interested, for help, having a chat and maybe advice. thanks ..
Hi, I have no idea where El Raso es, but I am in the same situation. I am a widow and I am looking for some people to meat as well. I am in Busot. Hope to get some replies here as well.

Hi
Similar sort of answer applies - my original answer was more bar specific because I know the staff and clubs and organisations in my area.
But just call in for a coffee at your local - most bars have all sorts of groups running from there even if they don’t advertise the information. If by chance they don’t, they will know one of their regulars who can help you.
Another way of getting to know people is through hairdressers.
I attend a craft group and one of the bars I mentioned above and of course it’s one of the things you chat about whilst in the salon, so when another one of her clients mentioned about learning a craft my hairdresser pointed her in our direction. From talking to us that lady now attends another local group and goes to lunch once a week.
Bars/hairdressers very often have pop up craft fairs or pop up clothes shops - attend one of those there’s usually lots of ladies willing to invite you to join them for a coffee.
Most of us have moved over and had to make new friends,so there’s always someone willing to include you in a conversation.

Hi, sorry to hear you are lonely on your own. There is a group on FBook that caters to your concern. If you are not on FBook, contact me as I am in a Friends & Solos Group where we meet, lunch/dinner or dance the night away with live singers etc. There is also another group called Sunshine Senoritas who arrange outings also. If you like dancing come & join us in line dancing (more laughs than serious dancing!). If you are the sporty type, join us in Petanque. I am on WhatsApp 693014762 if I can help. All the best
