Hi My name is Amanda and my husband and I are considering moving to spain in the future we currently live in a small hamlet in Derbyshire. We are seeking a small village/rural property that is near to a larger village/town within a 15 minute walk. We have been recomended Salares or Lubrin can anyone else advice? We also need to be within 1 hr of Malaga for work.

Hi Stainsby

Sorry I cant help with the area but I know there are people here who might be able to. Are you going to rent or buy? Or rent then buy?

We are wanting to buy and hopefully will have no mortgage, and will have some money to live off. But we will look for work before we come in the Malaga or surrounding area's. I am in recruitment and ny husband in sales. We just dont know the best villages

when we decided to move overe here, we knew we needed to be fairly near to Marbella for work and near an airport, so first of all we went on to google earth and literally drew a line between the two places and found the middle. We then came over here and had a look at the area. From there we found what we wanted and got a feel for the place!

Thanks ever so much for that, we are going to take some trips out and research certain area's. We are going to learn the lingo fluently so hopefully it will help with getting work. I have read some of the threads on moving to spain, and the way we see it is that if we dont experience it we will never know.

I agree that you will always wish you'd tried it if you dont. But please dont burn you bridges - keep a safetly net in the UK or you could end up losing everything! Good lick and keep us posted

No a bit more of a breeze, although yesterday Malaga province was on "yellow alert" cos of the heat and last night it was 33c at midnight, we couldnt sleep so we sat outside and watching the meteor shower. Did anyone else see it? quite amazing!
