Hi,  Now that we have retried we have made the decision to move abroad - move to Mojacar on 4 October, yes probably not the best time if Brexit ever happens, but we have thought about this for a long time.

We are both fairly active and looking for things to join - badminton, walking, reading clubs etc.  Also would be keen to find out best TV satellite company to use and mobile phone & internet connection.

Your advice would be gratefully received. 

also of course looking at making new friends, learning the language   Thank you for your assistance

All the things you want to get involved in are easily available here.There are at least 2 walking clubs,badminton is played at the local sports centre and the library/book exchange in the multi use centre in Mojacar is worth a visit re book events etc.What I will say though is this,we have lived here four years now and the things I thought I would do when we came here are different to what we do now.Things evolve here as you meet new people.It is a great life,you are making a good decision.

There is lots to do out here.

There is a magazine which is a mine of information including listing all the clubs etc that are active. You can read it online at http://almeriafocus.com/

You might want to consider joining The Mojacar Walking Group. We meet up on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a group walk with between 20-30 people attending. The season starts at the beginning of October and it's a great way to meet people and to keep fit. Check out our web site for further details. https://www.mojacarwalkinggroup.com/

Hi Knoxy. We had Next install our internet. It's done via a mast so no need for a telephone line. If you don't need a telephone you can simply use wifi for calls.

As part of their deal, they also installed a UKTV box for us (basically Freeview) which again is delivered through the internet. Don't have exact info with me but installation I think was around 100 euros. The TV box was a one off fee of 99 euros I believe. Very reliable service we have found to date (got it in May).

We are on the vacations package. Including tax comes in at just under 34 euros per month. But you can switch it off when not there - think around aboput 4 euros per month then.
