Making the move :-)

Hello, my name is Joseph and my partner is Samuel. We currently live in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

We are seriously thinking about making the move to spain, moreso the alicante area as this is where we have visited and really enjoy the area and culture.

We don't speak Spanish that's the concern at the moment, we are willing to learn but I feel it's easier when you're actually out there with the locals? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a dental nurse, my partner is a bus driver, we don't mind changing jobs to anything really we are very open minded.

I would really appreciate all advise/help with this move as it is a serious decision for us both. What's cost of living out there? What are the nice areas for UK residents in Alicante (or around), what's it like getting a English speaking job, is there possibility of this? Maybe in bars or restaurants? Does anyone know of any places looking for English speaking staff?

If you can think of anything else we would need to know we would be grateful.

Thank you in advance

Joseph
