Discovering Eye On Spain - Part 5 of our Story
Monday, May 23, 2011 @ 5:28 PM
When we first started looking at properties to rent in Spain it was really only a fantasy. New details would come through on the Internet and we would gaze longingly at them but we thought, “never gonna happen”. So we carried on doing the sensible thing, looking for UK rental property. But it was SO disappointing! No garden, no dog’s allowed and tiny rooms, where any furniture bigger than an armchair, would fill the whole space. We were running out of options and fast. Then, purely by chance, Charlie bumped into an old acquaintance of ours that was living in Spain but had returned for a couple of weeks to visit her friends and family. We arranged to meet up for a drink and a chat. We were fascinated about her life in Spain. She didn’t have one bad thing to say about her experience out there. She had been living in Spain for just over two years so we bombarded her with questions about the weather, the culture, the language, anything & everything we could think of. We were so curious about it all. It sounded idyllic. Maybe, just maybe, we could turn the fantasy into reality, so we started looking at ex-pat sites and that was when we discovered Eye on Spain & got chatting to a couple who could potentially change our lives?!
