Being single and living in Mojacar and surrounding towns. - Page 26

Hi Sandra,

Am sure you made a very good brave choice!

My budget is not as high as had wished and thought as in December 2021, my pension fund Retirement Annuity Trust) manager announced that due to tax law change in Guernsey I can no longer take the whole sum in cash ( which I was told I could if I left the channel islands to relocate in France/Spain agreed in writing!)but they only told me late in the day as the law changed 5 years ago and in meantime I had made purchase plans based on that amount! So a big disappointment and choc

However I do have capital from savings and but my budget is below £80 K !! So i will need to be brave and creative with my search, location aera etc…but am confident I will find something decent.. Hopefully 

Without being indiscreet were you in a high budget bracket/ do off plans appartmentsvary in prices?

Thank you

Nadine

Hi Sandra,

I made the move to Nerja February 2018 at 58 years of age and single. Best decision I have ever made. Nerja is a great place for a single lady to have a good life. There are plenty of activities to take part in, Padel, walking, bowling, arts & also many other social events. The rest of Spain is easily accessed by public transport, we are only 1 hour from  Malaga and Granada. I moved before Brexit and the requirements to become resident in Spain have now changed. Check out what is required to obtain a TIE residents card. Good luck with your future move.

Hi Kay, my post is quite old as you will see. I moved to Spain in Sept 2020 to Mojácar and have obtained my residency and Spanish Driving License before the WD Agreement. I hope you are enjoying your life in Spain as I am 😊

Just wanted to say a few things, love this post 

1. Omg you look amazing

2.  I love Almeria & Mojacar is stunning

3. Although your brave, do it, I would not hesitate & im/we are about 4 years away from the same dream & in very similar situation 

4. Soooooooooo jealous! 

I don't think you need it, but good luck & enjoy your next dream chapter.

Perhaps I'll look you up in a couple of years to pick your brains for sound advice, guidance & reassurance

Xxx

Thank you Dee 🤣 and good luck for the future 🤗

Hi Dee, well I hope you do come to Mojácar and by all means message me 😊

Hi Sandra, you already know us, Mel and Lisa and you are welcome anytime anywhere with us, we have been through a lot over the past several years so any questions please ask and if we don't know the answer I will find out,

Hi , 

I am thinking of going for long periods or relocating to mojacar after going twice.

There are lots of singles and pubs where expats meet weekly. I felt totally chilled and would feel fine on my own. Never felt like that anywhere else.

If you are meeting up In September, I will be there from 9th to 18th and would be happy to visit the same venues. Just let me know the vibrant places to go and I will be there over a weekend or even in the week, I go over once a month and go out anyway, but it would be nice to meet a friendly group whilst there!

Best wishes

Danny

Hi Sandra,

Well, I hope things are sorting themselves out now and you are settling in.

I made the move to Spain 9 years ago but ended up near Torrevieja. But now....I'm planning on selling up and renting in the Almeria region. I've no kids so it seems daft to chuck all my money into a house. Not sure what area I'll end up in but maybe we might end up swapping stories over a drink one day?

Anyway, good luck for 2024.
