Hi there, we had the following reply on our Facebook if this is of any help:

"Hi. Renting first is a great idea. As are the Spanish lessons. If you have a smart phone look for the Duolingo app, it is great. 

There are plenty of opportunities to meet people, you just have to be willing to put yourself out there. Living expenses are pretty much down to you. But it is significantly cheaper than the Uk."

Hi Linda, Definitely recommend that you rent first.  You spend a lot in taxes when buying a property and you have to be sure it is in the right area for you.  Can be a very expensive mistake if you decide you don't like the area/location, or can't settle  At least if you are renting you can move elsewhere easily enough!  Meeting people will not be a problem, wherever you are there will be places to go and meet people, you can get involved as little or as much as you want.  Can't offer anything on the Brexit/health care issue as it is an unknown quantity as yet for all of us.  We will just have to wait and see what transpires but of course it would be stupid not to consider the implications that it could throw up!  Good luck.
