We've decided we need to get about a bit more before it gets too hot. We've really only seen the 'obvious' places from here to Malaga.
Attractive places to walk with a dog are our number one priority.
Fancy a trip oop North then Mary?! Not a prob on the temperatures at the mo!!!

Good idea. I always say to visitors "Don't expect me to go to Madrid in July or August" It's just too hot!

You know you have an open invitation to visit here and I'll show you (and OLA) the delights of Alhaurin de la Torre and surrounding areas!!!

We'll be on our way as soon as we can be sure that it won't rain....March should be OK.
As I said, we'll take you out for a good lunch in return for your guide services!

I would love to travel around before I get too decrepit. (Twenty years??)
We need to compile a long list of hotels that will accept well-behaved dogs across Spain.
I don't think I have the skills or experience to drive a motor home although that would be ideal.
But out of consideration for other road users....

Thumbs up Thanks!

Hi folks!

First post on the forum; just a quick 'thanks' to all contributors for the quality and honesty of the replies.

My wife and I, with young princess at our sides [she is 2yrs], are about to take the plunge into Spain, so all the info found here is gratefull received and ravenously devoured.

Initial plan is to go for 3 months for a recon ... if we like, we'll look at setting up some form of business and staying ... if not, we'll leap back out and regroup.
Yeah ... I know ... dumb/foolhardy/brave/[other expletives] ... but hey - you have to try, right?

The UK does nothing for us anymore ... with the political environment and the CCTV's starting to look into your bedroom windows ... its becoming more and more like a prison sans bars ... so it has zero appeal.
Spain ticks a few more boxes than most; so onwards and upwards.

OK ... mini-rant over ... just saying 'thanks' and warning you all that I'll be sucking this board and your brains dry of all and any info!

What country would you be in at the moment and what nationality are you? Cos that may make a difference as to whether you are eligible to come to Spain?????

We all hold UK citizenship, as well as a plethora of others.
So no probs there.
