Hello. We are a  retired married couple aged 63 and seriously considering relocating to the coast of southern Spain however are filled with trepidation about such a monumental step to take. This is particularly so since we have never really visited Spain for holidays as usually went further afield.

The attraction of Spain for us now is the climate, safety/security situation, relative distance to the UK for family visits etc and hopefully the fact there are lots of similar likeminded people so we will not feel isolated, as we are aware of the potential language complications as we do not speak Spanish. We do  not want to go somewhere and experience a barrier and difficulty with our day to day living situation as communication is so important to quality of life though we would be prepared to learn the language however being realistic, this is going to take time and be an ongoing process.

We are considering visiting the area and either renting properties in a few different locations for a month at a time so as to get a feel for the place and whether we like before deciding where to settle and probably buy a property. The other consideration was to get a campervan locally and do likewise for 6 months. Any thoughts please?

We are not sure which area to go as yet however we want somewhere close to the coast, ideally not overly touristy as prefer a more settled community rather than one in constant flux as we think it would be easier to ingratiate ourselves in that more stable environment. Any thoughts on the best areas of southern Spain to achieve this?

Our question is, are there forum members who have experienced what we are anticipating doing and can offer some help and guidance please? Appreciate a lot of uncertainty in our ask however any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you in anticipation.

I have been very frustrated with the lack of information re cases of infection in my area . I've just found out that Paddy's Point has been closed because of infected staff. I think if members are aware of infections in their area it would very helpful to let other  members be aware . So we can keep up our guard and not become complacent with the dangers.
