New to Spain hoping hoping make friends

Hi Ruth,

How wonderful for you!  It’s like winning the lottery only better when you realise that you and your husband have a home in the sun!

We aren’t too far from you and generally visit on a very regular basis. We’d be delighted to meet up. We find that our part of Torrevieja is more cosmopolitan and is visited by Scandinavian and other nationalities rather than English speaking people.  Certainly there is no shortage of expats on the other side of Torrevieja so it would be fun to meet up. We too enjoy eating out locally. We hope to visit on 24th September and return home on  11th October.

You will be thrilled with your choice of location as you have the coast on your doorstep and lots of lovely restaurants close by. Good bus service too. We bought almost 19 years ago and have never regretted it. Good luck. Look forward to meeting up.

Please let me know when you are available.

Rosemary.

Hi Ruth. 

Great choice of location 😀

Try out Bocaditos on a Tuesday night - Local English speaking owners congregate there.  

Enjoy your new home! 

Sam 

Please tell us where this place is.  Is it in La Mata? If so, where?

Thanks.

Hi. 

Yes, in la mata.  It is just around the corner from the restaurant Playa Los Flores (street parallel to the beach) - 40 Avenida de Alemania.   Not far from corner of los Europeos. 

It’s a very unassuming bar but on Tuesdays there is a quiz and music. 

Enjoy! 

Thanks,

I will search it out when we are over later this month.

This is what is wonderful about this forum, endless help and advice!

Indeed :-)

Hi Rosemary, thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately we will not be in Spain on the dates you mention, but would love to keep in touch so if we coincide at a later date we could arrange to meet up. 

Hi Sam, thank you for your response.  Eddie has flown over today for a few days to sort out a couple of things. Unfortunately I cannot join him this time due to work commitments, but he said he will pop over to Bocadito's as per your suggestion.
