Hello can we have some advice please - Next stage of life
My wife and I live in greater London and are in our mid-50s, planning the next stage of life which we hope will include a property purchase abroad. The region of Sierra Cabrera is one of the areas on our shortlist and in relation to that I wonder if I could ask the forum a few questions.
1.Which are the main towns /communities within the region and do they have very different characters?
2.We have a great community here and regularly socialise, walk and cycle in the local area. Where are the best locations for similar activities within Sierra Cabrera and do the locals engage in them?
3.A related question - what is the community in Sierra Cabrera like (eg mix of Brits vs other nationalities, number of families, kinds of local activities, clubs and societies, restaurants etc.?
4.Are there regular local events, functions, markets etc, and do these enable newcomers to participate and build local connections and friendships?
5. What would you describe as the main heart of Sierra Cabrera, the key thing that residents value?
6.Is the population of Sierra Cabrera relatively stable in terms of churn or would you say quite transient?
7.What are the types of activities we might seek out, if we were to buy a property here, that would help us integrate into local life?
I realise some of these are quite big questions! I have already gathered information from various websites so have a sense of some of the answers, but I would really value a personal perspective from someone who lives there.
Thank you so much, and I look forward to any pointers or information you are able to provide.
