Dear forum;

As the title suggests I’m 44 years old, male, a published writer, and I am planning on a move down to Spain as soon as is logistically possible. In search of some quiet seclusion.

I’m sure to have a million questions. But in the meantime after having spent many weeks loitering in the background reading other peoples threads I thought it time I took the plunge, signed in and said ‘hi’.

Thank you all for your contributions. Its been a real education so far.

In closing if anyone is looking for a reliable long term tenant (5-11 months) I could just be your man. Although I’ll be on my own for the most part it would be nice to have some space to invite the family over from time to time so ideally I would like a reasonably priced finca or villa. But I realise beggars can’t be choosers so I’m very flexible.

Although I have initially been concentrating my search’s around the Costa del Sol, I am (as mentioned earlier) flexible so if the right property was available at the right price in another region I would love to talk to you.

In the meantime many thanks for reading my ramble, and I look forward to chatting with you around the boards.

Hi Tumbit, and thanks for your reply.

The business idea I have is aimed squarely at the leisure and tourism industry so I need to be as close to the epicentre as I can without actually having to take part in any of it myself. Far too old for all that.

So I guess the areas I need to be would centre around Benalmadena, Fuengirola etc. So somewhere between Malaga and Marbella perhaps?

If I could find something which was close enough to the CDS facilities (golf, nightclubs, restaurants, property rentals etc) that I could travel a short distance to meet with the business’s which cater for this facet of tourism, but far enough away so I don’t have to hear any of it myself, that would be ideal. I do like my peace & tranquility.

But as we all know the world is far from ideal so I’ll remain flexible as is necessary to make it happen.

Thanks again.
