I have decided to retire here it is so peaceful and accommodating to my needs i rent a year round apartment near the Parquemar hotel , The woods lakes near by are a jewel to behold with the nature

I am straight normal like cooking have a dog and i am open to discussion.

I have seen all sides of life but crave normality in all human species

I love fine wines and seafood..  and what a place to relish fine wines.

That's me i guess I guess I'm looking to enjoy my retirement here in peace.

Hi Brian and welcome to the forum!

Spain is a great country in which to retire, once you get your head around the bureaucracy.  Luckily for you, as an Irish citizen, moving here should be a relatively painless process.

Guardamar is a lovely town, with food and wine to suit all tastes and budgets, I'm sure you'll love it here.

Best wishes,

Kim

I know you will enjoy your retirement here in Spain as I have for the past 8 years.

Once you are fully settled here life can be so relaxing and much slower. 

Enjoy life Brian,  enjoy your wine and food in the sun!!
