Looking at properties over the last two days, there certainly are some bargains to be had. Suspect we may buy bricks and mortar after all! Thanks everyone for your input.

Gracias Roberto. We are looking at 1 bed properties as said property has fallen at present I am amazed at what is actually within our price range at present. Fortunately we both have good private pensions, which, as long as we stick to our budget conscious ways, will be fine! Now, to fly to Mucia..:)

Thanks guys. Yes I realise this re Spanish Residency, which is fine by us. Private Health insurance as I have said is a must do for us. Actually as Boris Blunders forth without a plan, nothing is certain, I suspect Spain and other countries will keep reciprocal arrangements but best be on safe side. We would count coming back to the UK as the "holiday" to see friends, we intend to be resident in spain. Out of interest, I wonder why living in a mobile/park home, would render us "having difficulty making friends and acquaintances and integrating". Would we be some sort of lower class pariahs.....

Thanks Windtalker..letting our house here in the UK is replacing the state pension I won't receive until I'm 66! Indeed I have known people sell up everything to retire abroad but then something major happens meaning they have to go back to the UK, And are hence stuffed. So owning our place in Spain to live for 10 months of the year, with July and August in the UK with our caravan, is the plan!

Acer - "burning bridges" in my world, means If it doesnt work out, at least we have our house here. Many people sell up in the UK lock stock and barrell, and come unstuck. Blame my part - Scottish blood, for being a possible tightwad...
