I’ve just moved here from Nueva Torrevieja. I’m from Leeds in Yorkshire and am now retired. I’m looking for dance or exercise classes.

Also any Spanish language or intercambio groups. I have basic Spanish but really want to improve.

I’m about to adopt a podenco puppy so any puppy training or walking groups would be of interest too.

Hi Annie

Probably not as much on because of Covid but there are usually dance classes in a dance school located one street back from the main square - from memory it is near the post office.  It Is a Spanish school rather than ex pat run. 

There is a place that in ordinary times runs yoga a couple of times a week.  It’s in one of the shop units around the corner from the Los Flores restaurant - in the same parade where the bar bocaditos is.

Hope that’s helpful.  

Sam

Hi Sam

Thank you for your kind reply. I’ve found both the dance school and the yoga place. As expected, they seem to still be closed, but I’ll keep my eye on them. 

Many thanks 

Annie

Good.  There is a small ex pat community but a nice one.  Bacaditos is popular with Irish and brits in normal times!

Thank you. I’ll check this out when I can. It’s exactly what I’m looking for. Do you happen to know if the bar is  puppy friendly?

Would think so as it has lots of outside space.

We have been to Jefe's bar and have seen bowls of water outside for the dogs
