Hi Lesley

I am 52 and moved to Villamartin in July. I am not single so can't really answer answer your question about a single lifestyle but I have found everybody to be very friendly. My husband plays golf 3 times a week so I am "single" on those days. If you wanted to get together for a coffee and a gossip on one of those days I could drive over to Playa Flamenca as its only 5 minutes in the car. Will you have use of a car? Some mornings I go to various exercise classes at Vida fitness studio in Los Dolses. It is small and friendly with classes attended by ladies of all ages and shapes/sizes, and usually a few people go for coffee after class - I found it a good way of getting to know people.

Cheers

Ros

Hi Ros, thanks for the information, I wont have a car, as I have decided to sell my car at home. I may get a car at a later date. It would be great to meet up when I get over there., I really want to join as many clubs as I get to get to know people, Lesley

Hi Lesley / Ros,

We purchased an apartment in San Miguel de Salinas recently and although we are not there full time as we are still working, we will be coming back and forth on a regular basis.

As my husband will be working from home whilst we are in San Miguel, I won't be so would be nice to meet up for coffee and chat, as I would like to get to meet some new friends.

Regards

Amanda
