We have sold everything up in the UK and complete our sale in three weeks. We don’t have the visas to stay one term in Europe yet but intend to stay in Mojacar fro the allowed three months. We are early 50’s and intend to travel to other countries outside the EU.

Can we have advice please:

Best bank to use so that we can pay for rental property in Mojacar

Places to meet other Brits and hear their stories and best way forward

Things to do around Mojacar

Clubs

are you retaining an address in the UK and an English bank account?  For a Spanish account you will need an NIE number and your passport and an address.  Lots of places in Mojacar for meeting ex pats bars and restaurants run by Brits.  How do you intend to travel around?  Good luck but I can see lots of pitfalls with your plan that I wouldn't want to face.

Cajamar Wefferant account is free and is online.  Go into branch and will set up for you.  We use Wise for transfer. Best exchange rate. Be wary as can spend more than you need to for other things.  Lots of good advice on websites.  Good luck and enjoy.

MaggieB is dead right - for non-resident Wefferent is probably about the best and transfer money via Wise.
