As we have now finalised our move to Spain for the end of this June, we would like to say Hi and introduce ourselves to the Elda community. Myself Paul, my partner Mandy and her daughter Eilish will move permanently to Spain at the end of June having bought a Villa a few miles  from Elda. We are all very excited about our new life in Spain and with all the hassles and upsets in the world are very much looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle. I have been running my own business in IT for over 20 years and this will carry on when we move but would like to develop a BnB business as we settle in. Mandy has worked as a teaching assistant and recently as an office assistant but will be 'nest building' our new home going forward. Eilish is 15 and will start home schooling with online tutors from September taking 5 ISGCE's with exams in 2021.

We have had a truly positive experience so far finding our dream home and having all the arrangements fall into place and absolutely love the Elda, Pinoso region and we believe it is the perfect base to connect with all that a Spanish life has to offer. Our biggest concern though, is making the move a happy and positive experience for Eilish. We will do all that is needed to help Eilish meet both English and Spanish teens and integrate as soon as possible. We are all learning Spanish.... Mmmmm, I may take a little longer than Mandy and Eilish, lol, but trying and it will eventually sink in i'm sure.

We are a fun loving, sociable, music loving and positive family and would welcome any and all contacts with anyone interested in welcoming us into this new life, especially any help for Eilish in meeting new friends.

Un cordial saludo

Paul, Mandy and Eilish

Welcome Paul, Mandy and Eilish,

We bought in Elda in February and absolutely love living here. I too was from an I.T. Background ( ex IBM ). So much to do and see in the area and if we can be of any help to you then just ask !! We don’t have any children here but have a cute dog. If you would like to meet up for coffee/wine let us know.

Also I don’t know what time you will be arriving but happy to go shopping for you so you have the basics for when you arrive.

Once again congratulations and welcome.

Kind Regards 

Karen and Warren

PS Spanish is a must !!

Thanks Villas and thank you Karen and Warren. We will definitely get together as soon as we get over and thank so much for your kind offer of shopping for the basics. We will however, be traveling via road sometime around the 21-22 June and will have rental for one week in Pinoso until we sign with Notary on the 1st July. We plan to explore Elda during that week and it would be great to meet up and have a chat about your experiences so far. Would you kindly PM me your mobile number and we can hopefully have a coffee / wine w/c 24th June...

Many thanks again for replying. Paul and Mandy

Hi Paul and Mandy from Monforte Del Cid.  Have been waiting what seems like ages for some contacts closer to our super - very Spanish - village.  Most of the contacts seems to be very much south in CB.   We have almost completed our move to our Villa Bobanolha just outside the village, and intend to spend some off season time here to compliment our very successful B&B back in Wales. I am a young-at-heart retired Local Gov Officer and Olha is my ''significant-other''   originally from Ukraine.  Would welcome any contact you may like to make.  Bob an Olha
