Hello,

My name is Mike and I presently live in Upstate NY and am relocating to the Costa del Sol Region in February 2013.  I am 59 y/o, single and plan on renting a furnished place upon my arrival unless one of the many agencies I have been in contact with finds me a place prior to my arrival, but I would prefer looking myself.

As you can imagine, I have done tons of research and have already acquired many of the necessary documents for my travel.  However, I have many, many, questions that I hope you fine folks will be able to answer for me.

Before I start asking all my questions, perhaps I should wait until I hear from you.  Perhaps one of you will “adopt” me and take me on as a challenge!

My email address is:  .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

I look forward to my move as it is a new time in my life. 

Until I hear from you, I hope this finds you well.

Regards,

Mike Rutledge

Hi,

Just from my previous visit there in 1974 I was thinking the Torremolinos area but I am open to suggestions.

Thanks.

Mike

Cazzy,

Forgive me, but I do have to ask…is the weather still the most perfect weather on the planet (summer…i.e. no humidity)?  I remember playing in a tennis tournament outside of Torremolinos in 1974 and it was 105 and we didn’t sweat!!!

That I gotta know…

Regards,

Mike
