You sound really happy, how lovely 😁 did you have to prove an income?? 

Yes had to prove income even to open the Spanish bank account, don’t know if that’s everyone’s experience but it was mine.  Got a long term rental until I know for sure what area I want to live in, am really enjoying it round here though as there are so many different places to eat out and visit nearby.  I wish you success in whatever you decide and happy to meet you in future :)

We bought originally as a holiday home four years ago when I took early retirement, then two years ago I finally talked my wife into also taking early retirement and we sold up and came out to La Zenia on a permanent basis, we haven't regretted it for one moment. We took our time renovating our apartment to what makes it a real home and not a holiday apartment, gradually with a lot of help with advice on the Forum we have Resdiencia, Spanish Driving Licence, are fully Tax legal, made new friends and much more. Family come out and stay with us and when we go on holiday they stay in our place for a low cost holiday themselves having only to pay for their flights and they have the bonus of being able to use our car.

My partner and I moved to Villamartin  from Derbyshire only 2 months ago and we love it here. We both have children and grandchildren so it was a bit of a wrench but with all the technology available now ie. FaceTime and phoning, it is easy to keep in touch and when they do come over you spend more quality time with them and make lovely memories. And as someone has already mentioned you are only a few hours away. We both have our residencia now which is really straightforward, once you can meet the criteria. Good luck with the new venture. We would be happy to meet up with you for a coffee when you finally get everything sorted

Regards

Shane

We have more quality time with family than we ever did in the UK with us and them working, it was only an hour visit here and there, now they come for a couple of weeks at a time. We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren, we asked them what they thought and they said go for it. We have been here just over 3 years now and love it. It is our time now.  The red tape of buying and NIE was all a pain but once sorted all was good. All the best for the future.
