Hello from Spain

Hi Claire and welcome to the forum.

Do you speak Spanish? If not, this could be one of the problems - learning a language is really important when relocating.

Regards

Michelle

Hi there Claire,

Welcome to the forum.

Have you checked out the Spain forum? If you've got any questions/queries, there'll be someone on there who would be able to help you.

Dolly

Thank you for the welcome.

We have learnt a brave amount of spainish but not as much as we should know by now. But we have found a few things like some words are not in the dictionary, not even in the spanish one.

Well I will have plenty of question to ask. So I will look foward to hear your views and experiences.

Hope all is well

Welcome from Andalucia Claire. We used to drive sort of past your area en route to Lisbon, wonderful mountain scenery I recall.

Hi and thank you El Capitan. Yes the sierra san predro, are very nice and another sierra further north that belongs to the bird, that protect them. But there is very few and far between finding another english speaking people there in this part of Extremadura. Americans German Dutch French and the odd Portugese. Not only learning spanish but portugses too.
