hi & welcome - are you coming for a long holiday or will you be looking to work?

Hi Thanks for the reply we are looking for a long holiday but with the intentions of staying on! we just thought we would do 3 months as we didnt want to be hasty and just relocate just incase it isnt for us.
if we find work then it may sway us to stay but its not number 1 priority

Regards

perfect plan

there is tons of info & advice we can give you - have a good read of recent threads - especially the 'stickies' at the top of the page - then fire away with any specific questions

My advice is.. have a good long read at all the Spanish posts

I guess you need to work out where you want to live and your budget. Will want an apartment or a villa, will you need to be near to a bus stop, will you have a car, will you want to live in "the thick" of .......

We would ideally like somewhere in levante so i guess we would want to be in the thick of it we have been looking at some 2 bedroom apartments with a budget of 400gbp per month which at the mo there are plenty! We love walking so not really looking at driving about. Work wise im a web designer so was looking at maybe setting something up out there doing web design as many of the bars etc havnt got many! Im really impressed with how friendly the people are on this site

Main questions i have at the moment are how seasonal is benidorm? and are the people welcoming like on here or can it be really clicky as my family have property in Catalan and that can be very clicky at times

Indeed and I'm not trying to put you off, just be aware. you're probably planning to come over at the right time, just as the season ends, so it'll be quieter and not so hot!!
