The British Consulate in Alicante will be holding an Open day on Wednesday, 22nd February in Algorfa (Alicante area).

The event is being jointly organised by the town hall and the Consulate and is open to any British resident or visitors in the area. The Mayor, Antonio Lorenzo Paredes, will open the event and it will also be attended by the local councillor for European residents, Samantha Biddles.

The British Consul, Paul Rodwell, will start the consular presentation talking about what the Consulate can and cannot do as well as giving some tips and information on living in Spain. This will be followed by a presentation from the Pension, Benefit and Healthcare team aiming to dispel any myths that people might have heard about how to access healthcare in Spain, or who can claim which benefits whilst living in Spain.

Those attending will also have the opportunity to ask the team questions after the presentation if they have any issues that have not been covered in the main talk. Samantha Biddles will be there also to answer any questions that relate to the town hall.

The open day is being held at:

La Finca Golf and Spa Resort
Ctra. Algorfa
Los Montesinos Km 3
03169 Algorfa

Event starts 11:00am (doors open from 10:30)

Those who wish to attend should register for a place as space is limited. Registration is done through our online registration form. Those who do not have access to the internet can also book by calling 902 109 356.

For anyone who cannot get to a DWP event or is interested - I wrote an article covering their recent roadshow in Torrevieja which was published here:

I am also happy to send anyone a copy who contacts me.

They are very informative meetings for those that are able to attend.
