 Hi

Having lived in Los Montesinos for 3 years, I agree that it is a pleasent small spanish town, which has grown 

over the last few years and is a short distance from .Torrevieja.

As for spending the winter! you can expect bright sunny days, although if you have been used to central heating

in the uk, you will be in for a shock at how cold Spanish houses can be.They are not built to northern european

standards and is something that most of us did not realise how cold it gets!!!

Just make sure you dont throw away those thermals!!!! and good luck....

 Hi

Just a thought!! But how about setting up a Direct Debit for the pension to be paid into a named charity??

Or failing that,you could pay it into my account and I will make sure its not wasted!!!!!!!

 Having lived in Spain for the last eight years and both being fit,healthy and in our early 60`s, we had two years of reliving our youth

by freezing our Butts off walking from a heated lounge into a freezing loo!!.We also have a friend who stated that he had a very warm villa, which was heated with log burners,oil central heating and gas heaters!! ( no expense spared).

Solved the problem of spending a fortune on logs and electricity. Bought a place in UK and leave Spain in November returning in the Spring after having suffered full gas central heating and carpets!!!!whilst there......SORRY...........

 I think you would be very lucky to find anywhere without the sound of noisy dogs!!!

I have lived on two seperate urbanisations and have found that many of the culprits are the good old ``Brits`` who decide to adopt strays

rescued dogs and do not know how to control them, let alone the average of 3/4 they own!!

Not sure if its a grandchild substitute or not, but I believe there have been more neighbour disputes over noise/mess than anything else.

I am not a dog hater before everyone starts having a go.Maybe I am a hater of the inconsiderate owners that cannot control their

pets.
