Hi, I wish to introduce me in French … why do i receive this in inglish, my English writing is not perfect…well … 

I am a swiss French lady who wish to meet expat that lives in Altea or close to. I came already last September to visit … and will come back around the middle of December and hope to meet some people French or English speaking while I am there.

I must find a little house for renting for the all year 2023 and will move with my two cats … I got in touch with 3 agency but nothing really serious, do not receive answers … I will be retired at the end of this year, I am sportiv, do scuba diving, paint and sculpt, love animals, music, theater … i am an active woman … want to get Spanish lesson and next September 2023 hope to subscribe to Altea university to get in sculpting stone courses.

Hi, I am Wayne, a qualified mountain bike guide and I run a mountain biking, cycling and walking business in Ronda. We arrange day trips, mini-breaks, holidays and tours for people who live in other parts of Spain or for travelers from abroad. I have had to list myself on the site as just 'Tourist Guide' which doesn't explain what I do at all but I can't see how to add a new category which would be more relevant to me. Any ideas? Thanks

Extra relaxing amateur, casual or professional training  - feel free to join our cycling clubs, adventure holidays.

Hi I am a new member and I find it hard to seek other members in Spain. I live in Alicante and it is of no use to connect to people living in Barcelona or Tenerife.

It should be possible to narrow the search for people closer to you. Regards from

Troels

@HMS13 Hi - i just saw your post. My wife and I live close to Alicante ( Muchamiel ) and we would like to meet with other expats that lives around Alicante.

We are both from Denmark - and we speak English , Spanish , some German and Swedish.

We are both in the sixties and quite active. Give us an email if you like

@Julien Hi,

I am thinking of living in Tenerife; have just booked a months' long stay there to explore and get a feel for the place. Any recommendations what I should research while I am there?

Hello,

My name is Mike, married with two teenage daughters.  We lived in Madrid from 2010-2017.  I was on a full expat package from a USA company sponsored by a Spanish company so it was relatively easy to move and settle since I had a lot of help from my company and locals on visas, paperwork, etc...We fell in love with Spain and did not want to move but my contract could no longer be extended so had to move back to the USA.  We plan to try to get back to Madrid in 2025 on our own, most likely on a golden visa by buying a property.  Will not have any company support so sure I will have plenty of questions doing it on our own this time.  My wife and kids speak fluent Spanish, I was decent before I left but will definately need to brush up and practice when we get back.

Un saludo,

Mike
