...wers in the central reservations,blue sky.mountains and very little traffic.Superb roads..forget uk,(the pot holes ,they drive on the left,..whats left of the roads !) 

 I arrived just over two months ago,I go out here far more than I did at home,you don’t have to be alone..even a coffee is a chance to chat to others..there is plenty to do if you want it..I’ve not regretted my move for a second..I’m blessed. I wake every morning feeling thankful that I took the leap...if it’s something that you want to do then try it..if you rent it’s easy to go back they haven’t deported you..I’ve bought cos I’m staying...love it.

For a start I'd rent something and, then. look around for a suitable alternative. In no case pay anything upfront to estate agents - that money is gone.
