Hi Wendy,
My partner and I moved to Almeria, Spain 2 years ago and for us it was a mistake, we are currently putting our house on the market but at the moment we don't really expect to sell it, I am very homesick and miss my family. please remember the old saying the grass is not always greener although the sunshine and scenery and beachwalks with my rescue dogs is something that i will miss. You will need to learn the language which is a bit daunting. Good Luck!!
