Just arrived in Finestrat
Helpful member
Very fortunately we took one of the last flights from the UK to Alicante before they were banned for non-residents and managed to complete our house purchase in Finestrat town just after Christmas.
We are now in the process of equipping and furnishing the house and finding out how things work etc., so any tips from local residents or non-resident home owners in the area would be very welcome. We would also be pleased to meet up with any locals for a drink, meal out or a walk in the mountains. We are an Anglo-Norwegian couple in our 60s normally resident in south west UK.
Everything seems to be working here with shops open and services operating normally. As long as you keep your mask on in public spaces we haven't had a problem doing anything so will be taking the opportunity of getting things sorted out in the next few weeks.
We are reluctant to go home to the UK until we know for sure when we can come back out again as non-residents without having to jump through expensive hoops like the PCR test.
