Hi Dawn
Count me in if you start a group up, I promise no bitchiness, I know exactly what you mean. I enjoyed the coffee mornings but hubby rarely went as it was originally a ladies meeting and a lot of hubbies were younger and working so not there much.
We are in our 70,s and were going to move permanent but situations changed our decision so will have to stick to the 90 x 2 visits usually March-June, then Sept-Dec. Now we wait for clearance but since Brexit things regarding our travel have changed as we used to bring belongings for Spanish home over and now customs and charges have changed that so we actually aren't even sure how we will travel next.
Having read some older posts on Villena forum it seems people are still meeting up on Sunday afternoons covid restrictions permissable(it was posted October) so I, m not sure what your restrictions are there at present, we are in lockdown for third time and just stay in. Having said that we are not social butterflies, mainly teatotallers so wouldn't go to pubs anyway but we do miss eating out.
Our social activity in Spain was very little but we loved going to the Rastro in Salinas Sunday morning, calling at the Chinese restaurant in Sax on way back (recommend their 6.50€ menu del dia) and returning stuffed napping for afternoon in the sun. Bliss, we have very simple tastes!!
Weird to us was all the Chinese restaurants in Villena only open for takeaways but Sax restaurant open most of last year, however without rastro we felt bit far to go just for a chinese.
Please keep in touch, you can see my previous posts for any possible info by tapping on my name Paulsav and maybe that will give you some insight to our experiences.
Looking forward to meeting up when we return.
Regards
Pauline
