Hi Daniel,
Dave R and I have a place in Calasparra also - in the rice Fields, unfortunately we have not retired yet but hopefully in a few years we will be in permanent residence in Calasparra, Our Friends own the Restaurant Calasparra Arms in the town ( Tina and Steve). We have recently returned from our house after a ten day stay, after breath taking views we retuned to the awful views of the A13 and the River Thames, not quite the same. We too took in a visit to Jumilla to visit on the progress as we have invested in one of the apartments for rental purposes for all the golf nuts, personally I like the sun and the cheap wine. We will be visiting again in May for an update on the progress and of course to settle down again in the sunshine - can't wait.
Charmaine
Calasparra, Ronford and soon to be Jumilla.
