You don't say how old you are. Do you have transport? There is a thriving U3A group in Oliva, which isn't too far from you and has members in Villalonga.

Most members are UK expats of pensionable age. There is a coffee morning and craft sale on Thursday 23 March at Oliva Pensionistas club on N332 main road in the town, all welcome.

There are many members of your age or thereabouts too, so it might be worth your while having a look. You can usually find a parking space down the sidestreets near Pensionistas club. U3A runs a lot of activities, so you might find something you like and make friends that way.

My partner, who'll be running the jewelry stall, is 62. I'll be there supporting her. There'll be people from the committee also who can tell you about all the events and activities.

Welcome :-) 

As previously suggested, try to go to the U3A coffee morning, also have a look at their website to see all the different activities on offer. (U3AOliva.org).  They are a good way to meet people. We go to their Spanish classes.

What nationality are you? There are lots of Brits living in Villalonga and the surrounding area, and presumably other nationalities too. I'm sure if you wander round the town or have coffee in one of the bars you will meet some, we don't live there but know some lovely people from Villalonga, and they seem to have a very active social life.

If you like animals, you could also offer to help out in one of the PEPA animal charity shops in Oliva or Font de Carros - another good way to meet people.
