My wife is a holistic therapist, Teaching Reiki, aromatherapy massage Accupressure massage etc. She has her own Business and would be looking to set up out there also. I would greatly appreciate any advice or help from people already out there living the Dream, we will be there for a visit the first 2 weeks in October and then plan to visit 3 or 4 times before we move next year. Please reply as all information will be greatly appreciated. All the best, Richie, |

I would personally focus on your metalworking, as it is one thing that is in demand in Spain. |

Hurricane,
Okay mate i served my time in shipyards as a Fabricator welder before joining Army and was a metalsmith for 12 years in REME before reaching dizzy hights of Sgt Major since then it has been all parade squares, shiney boots and deserts. Do you have any pointers to which area i should concentrate to get work in ie Blacksmithing etc. (NOT HORSESHOES TYPE) |

Thanks for the info, these papers will be really handy for finding lets, can someone tell me about the crime rate, my wife was told that some of the coastal towns have a high crime rate due to eastern block crime gangs.
she said there was a lot of drugs and prostitution, some might call that enterprise but im to old for drugs, it takes me 2 days to get rid of hangovers now and if the only work going is being a pimp im knackered as i look really silly in a purple suit. |
