Hi there, I'm Melanie and my husband and I have recently purchased a town house in Seron (during lockdown) and are hoping to visit in the next few days to complete the exchange of keys!  We would like some insider info on the area and wondered if anyone could help.  How friendly are the locals to Brits - I wouldn't want to seem an outsider but want to blend in with everyone.  We are going to learn Spanish and eventually make Seron our home but will have to do the property up first.  Can anyone recommend a local secondhand furniture store (that delivers if possible)?  We would be grateful for any help.... we have absolutely nothing in the property at the moment :(

Hi Melanie,

Welcome to Seron. There are a few Brits living around Seron. I suggest you join my site on Facebook "Friends in seron & surrounding areas". People on here will help you find what you need. We also arrange the occasional get together. The locals are pretty friendly as long as you make an effort with them. There are plenty of beautiful places to visit and sights to see around here. Maybe we could meet for a coffee sometime and my Wife and I could help you out.

Regards

Karl

Hello Melanie,  The very best place to get hold of second hand furniture is " The Attic" in Cucado it's very good quality and not expensive I personally have bought quite a bit there, they also will deliver for a fee..   Good luck .

Thanks for your responses and I would look forward to meeting you and your wife next week, Karl.  I will message you when we arrive to arrange a meetup.  

Thanks for recommending 'The Attic', I have looked at their website and sent them a message.  Maybe we will get a chance to pop along to their store during the week.  

I am getting so excited about seeing our property :)

Hallo lieve mensen, wat fijn dat dit forum bestaat.... Ik wil mij graag zelfs voorstellen, afgelopen vrijdag 12 november 2021 zijn mijn man wim en ik hier ingetrokken in een prachtig huis in serón.... Wij komen uit Holland en willen hier graag een mooi en gezellige tijd hebben, we weten ook nog niet goed hoe alles precies hier werkt en gaat, en ik zou heel graag in contact komen met de lokale bevolking en natuurlijk ook Engelssprekende mensen.... Wij hebben natuurlijk ook vragen en willen ook graag Spaans leren praten, ons uitzicht is van boven op de bergen prachtig en de rust is heel fijn.....ik zou graag in contact willen komen, en ook willen leren wat hier gebruikelijk is en wat gezelligheid maken.. .. Het is natuurlijk wel even wennen de omgeving en een totaal ander leven als wat wij gewend zijn,maar we hebben deze stap gemaakt een grote verandering maar hopelijk een mooi nieuw leven te leven hier in serón..... Ik hoop iets van jullie te horen..... Hartelijke groet van ons monika en wim 🇪🇦

Hi People, I run a facebook site "Friends in Seron and surrounding areas" I suggest that you join and introduce yourself. It is a good way of getting to know the local expat community.
