Hi

I am emailing in hope of some advice about moving to Torrevieja not just weather but told its very healthy place to live.

I am now retired and although still enjoy life in Birmingham looking to future.

My only concern is because I am single what the social life is like in Torrevieja

At present my interests are golf and would like to learn bowls ...I enjoy dancing ballroom and ceroc sing in choir also play ukulele in local group and of course learn Spanish.

My plan is to have two weeks Holiday in Torrevieja in early November ....then move over in January and rent long term.

I would appreciate any help or advice you can help with.

Many Thanks

Jack

Hi Jack,

Would love to see you at any of our classes and any of our dances, we are looking for dance partners, have at least one spare lady, sometimes more than one. If you need directions let me know, see you soon hopefully when you are over here.

Hi Jack, looking forward to seeing you at one of our Monday evening Sequence Dance Classes, Social Dances, or Thursday morning classes. See you soon hopefully, need directions let me know and I can send you an email. Quesada is a one-way system so your SATNAV will not help you, you will need printed directions from me. Best wishes,
