throttlemonkey Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Good luck to you. I always admire people willing to up sticks and start something new it's a brave step Just noticed your location. About 20 years ago I was an apprentice then qualified mechanic at that Nissan garage in wallington. Don't think it's Nissan anymore. Geyfords?

moose man Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I made inquires last year while over my brothers place in Spain , I was told you need to get a Spanish licence if your living there .This involves a written test in Spanish ...BUT ,was then told if you have your British ticket they normally just issue you a Spanish one ..their is a fee ..

Marv my ESS thinks all his Christmases have come at once he's swapped tree rat for mountain hare, I've swapped British Gas for wood burning stoves Thames water for well water (free) view of Croydon for 360 degree mountain view.

Vince Green Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 My mate's son and daughter in law have just given up out there and are returning home because their business has collapsed. They owe £60,000 in tax and can't sell their property. Its not quite the garden of Eden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throttlemonkey Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Almost Three years now since the 3 of us waved goodbye to London and relocated in Baza,Granada,España. Our rural farmhouse b&b is starting to take off, with visitors all year round.Now growing all our own veg,chicks,turkeys,rabbits,ducks,RLpartridge.Have collected,goats,pigs,a crippled donkey, a circus pony, and a 300 kg castrated boar that took six men to despatch, and butcher. he kept us well fed for over six months. Bella, my youngest daughter was five years old(the three oldest girls we left behind in the UK) and was thrown in at the deep end at school, is now fluent in Castillano, and English, and now learning French. The teachers speak no English, and use her to teach the younger British kids Spanish. I've told her to charge for her time.She has 12 acres to play,cycle,Quad, horse ride,hunt lizards bats mice , mushrooms,insects,and is always occupied, and always smiling. The fish in the lake, are as big as busses,wild boar have replaced the London city foxes, but taste much better!and can ride or drive off road all day long without crossing tarmac or seeing anyone. It's been an uphill struggle,but well worth the effort 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munzy Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 How funny that this post has turned up again! I just re-read my comment when you first posted back in 2015. At the time we had moved-on from Málaga and settled in Ibiza. Now three years later I am sat on a hotel bed in Barça having moved back to the UK with a three year old who was born in Ibiza! We will definitely move back to Spain again in a few years and almost certainly to Andalucía. I know exactly how it benefits the kids having lived there with one and acquiring another along the way. Pleased it’s going well for you, you’re in a fantastic part of the World, one I love more than any other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
