A new life in the sun

Hola everyone.

Having recently returned to the UK after living an hour inland from Malaga for a couple of years ... now wondering if I've done the right thing.

I'm a single mature lady who would be looking at making a new life somewhere near the coast (although I do drive), making new friends and would love to volunteer at a dog rescue centre/charity shop. I would be looking at renting out my property in the UK and renting a property over in Spain (would love a garden). 

I welcome any advice on what areas to look at that would give me this lifestyle. 

Many thanks

Maz
