We gone and done it! Very excited but also scary, we've taken the first baby step to living our dream. 

We've rented an appartment for 3 months starting on 1st of November, long term plan is to relocate to Mojacar. We are driving down and bringing our 2 small dogs. We probably should of asked this question sooner, but are there any groups we can join like walking, general get togethers, I like to sew and cross stitch. We would love to get to know English and Spanish and learn how to make our final move successful, and how to make ourselves good neighbors.

Appreciate any help

Hi Vicki,

Go on line and search

The Almeria Focus Magazine and directory. There is actually a free monthly hard copy of this you can collect from Brit outlets like PC PLAYA, ICELAND, etc. Fund of info regarding local Companies and Services. Never be without.

Anyway, at the back section are all.the local groups, clubs, associations etc Page 119'onwards in the hardcopy.

Best of luck and remember, don't make.friends with those who can make money from you or sell you something.

Cynicism born of 15yrs out here.

The.very.best of.luck.

Bob and Sandra

Mojacar Playa and Puerto Lumbreras

Hi Vicki

Hope your trip goes to plan and you have a safe journey down here. In reply to your question there is a walking group based in Mojacar and a couple of sewing groups one in Mojacar and  one in Turre. There are lots of activities advertised in the monthly Focus magazine which is free and available in lots of shops around the area. We have made nice friends here from going to the gym / swim in Vera. I am sure you will find lots to do and meet like minded people. 

Best wishes

Janice
