Tony has made some good points in his last post, he is right us permanent residants are a bit thin on the ground, but there is a good community spirit here, and you will always find someone to give you a helping hand or advise in times of trouble
We have been here for 6 months now, and it must be said--- we do not miss the UK.
Try it out for a month, there are plenty of apts. for rent, it is a stunning place to live!
