Hi

My name is Steve Murphy and I am currently in the process of buying a House at the top end of the Urbi. I have been looking forward to buying here for a number of years and cant wait to move in, albeit for only a few months of the year. I was wondering if there existed a regular Ex Pat get together on the Urbi? I am looking forward to meeting new People and getting to know you all. 

Kind Regards

Steve

Good morning Steve and welcome to La Marina!

I have lived here full-time for just on 15 years now, and so I can probably answer most of your questions about the area, or about living in Spain generally.

I will send you a pm regarding your question about meeting ex-pats.

Best regards,

Geoff.

Just wanted to welcome you to the urb! We bought a place there last year and so far, we're enjoying it. The urb is a massive place and we make a point of visiting different areas each time we visit - you'll soon find where you like and feel comfortable.  Personally, there are some places I like better than others, there's something (and room!) for everyone.  Good luck with the purchasing process - I'm sure you will keep your wits about you and double/triple check everything.  Don't take anything on trust and make sure the legality of your purchase and what you think you're buying matches the reality.  Feel free to PM me if you've any questions.  Best of luck.

Hi Steve if you are too easy you will be near the Posh Club where there is always something happening and opportunities to meet people. Also if you have any hobbies or interests there is sure to be a group you can join. I am new here and find it much easier to make friends than it is back home so come on out and enjoy youself, wecome to La Marina!

Hi and welcome Steve.

I'm like you at the moment but still hoping to make myself a permanent fixture in the very near future albeit I have had my place for about 6 years.

I love it out there and looking forward to mingling etc.

I'm looking at a potential business opportunity out there which would always needsupporting as it may be a bar which is very quiet at the moment but I need to keep busy.

I will be looking at golf as well.

I'm sure there will be plenty to do!

Once again welcome.

Regards

Glen
