Hello All🙋‍♀️

First ever post in a forum in Spain.Looking to eventually retire to the area but initially wanting to rent a 1/2 bedroom apartment with pool to get a feel for the area.Any decent golf courses nearby for hubby? Looking for a pretty semi Spanish/ ex pat area Walking distance from the sea. Any suggestions where to start looking?

Hi, possibly around Vera town area as there are a few ex-pats around that area, there are 2 golf courses nearby, Val de Este and Desert Springs. Can't give you any idea what either of these courses are like but believe they are quite good.

Good luck and best wishes,

Paul.

I live (and work) at Valle del Este and it really is paradise :-) well, that’s how we view it.  Fabulous place, great golf course (apparently - I’m not a golfer) and only 7 minutes drive from Vera

Saludos, Darío

You can but ask, when you get here, but unless you speak some Spanish, I’d suggest you have very little chance.

I am an experienced Network Engineer, and speak intermediate Spanish .... I work as a Waiter / Barman...... the Internet companies who would need installation techs around here seem to go with friends, friends of friends and family.  

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but in this area of Southern Spain, you may find it challenging to get work in that field.

Saludos, Darío
