Hi I’m John, recently retired to the area and hoping to get involved in any football, tennis, golf, table tennis, walking groups that are around. Also love live music, watching sport and drinking 🙂

Be good to hear about any of these so I’m not always in the pub 🤪

Hello John

Just a bit of advice.........When you invite suggestions involving 5/6 different sports or hobbies it is  quite time consuming for other people to answer.

 Also Torrevieja is a big area, so I suggest you do some research (google) for your particular area, ask your neighbours locally  & when you have some specific questions about a  particular sport etc.  then ask away & you should get some replies.

Again, do you have transport or rely on public transport to get to any locations suggested, as they might cover a wide area?

 I will start by suggesting you look what's available here   https://torreviejasportscity.com/en/

Cheers

Hi John,

Firstly, you were quite right to ask about all your interests in one post, it’s the first step when you are new to an area!

There are a lot of Golf  Societies around that you could join to play the many golf courses in and around the area, which would also give you reduced green fees.

Have you ever considered playing petanca?  It’s fun & again there are many clubs around that you could join. 

Look out for the freebie English newspapers found outside shops & bars which will give you quite a lot of local info in the ads for things you might be interested in.

Enjoy your retirement! 😊

Thanks Pete, appreciated. I’ve joined a golf society and am having a go at bowls at the Greenlands Golf Club near Ciudad Quesada but will certainly have a look at Pétanque too. Spanish lessons start on Monday at a local bar in Torrevieja so a few things happening to keep me occupied 🙂

Good evening, John.  Where and at what time are the Spanish classes? Thanks, Séagh.
