We are looking at moving to Almeria province first quarter of 2021. We are leaving Crete where we have lived for 18 years.
My partner Peter has lived in Spain in the early 1970s for a few years in Logrono and Tenerife, and, with 18 years under our belts on Crete we are not fazed at all by moving (again) to another country.
We are ready to get a battering from the bureaucracy of it all, just as we have been here for 18 years. :>)
We like Almeria, were there for 3 months last year. We seemed to prefer Vera as didn't feel touristy, yet only a short drive to sea and resorts. It felt more like a traditional Spanish town, but, with the best of both worlds.
We are looking to rent initially, but, we have a small rescue dog and cat and are finding very few options with pets. Looked at SPC in Mojacar as we saw their TV program where the staff took their pets to work, but, sadly not one of their current rentals will accept pets.
Is it generally a problem renting with pets in Spain?
Anyway, looking forward to being there soon.
