Costa Living Forum
This forum was started to help people who want to move to Spain or already live here. It was originally an open forum, but as time passed there had been issues with this system. So now it is a closed forum, mostly viewable for 'members only'.
Except forums marked VIEWABLE.
We welcome any newcomers to join 'free'. Our rules are simple but strictly enforced. This is a NO HOSTILITY ZONE for people who wish to share or gain knowledge of Spain. (That said, we do have members from around the world as well here) Meet & make new friends. Share experiences. Chat in our chat room. Generally join in with the community here. We are not interested in large membership numbers, just a helpful active community

Hi Folks, I have been away from the Forum scene for a while, and then decided to trawl for something different and came across yours. I live in La Alpujarra, and have been here for ten years, although I now have a pretty good knowledge of the area, I am always open to new ideas, so look forward to reading and participating in the Forum.

Thanks for the welcome, I am more than happy to help anyone I can, but don't bank on it being the right advice, I have been proved wrong more than once!!!:biggrin

Welcome shadow..

Our place is in Albondon - never quite sure whether that is officially Alpujarras or not! There's a sign in Albunol claiming it is the gateway to the Alpujarras - so Albondon must be inside the gate.

I was wrong once too... I thought I'd made a mistake, but it turned out I hadn't.. :wink

Hi Shadow, have to let us know what is going on in Cadiar, we need someone from there to let us know.

Hopefully admin will sort you soon then you will be a delicate shade of green:042wavin

Hello Shadow
welcome from me too. I am in Albunol (sometimes) and North Devon. I visit Cadiar when I am out sometimes - great builders merchant!
Although it is much colder there in the winter and even in the summer.....................
I also like Rosas stall in the market.........
and I have bought a rug and a book from the tienda turistico
where are your favourite places?

Welcome Shadow from Selsey. We are looking to move out in next 4 years. Having read Driving over lemons and the others we have the dreamy view but perhaps when you find you're feet you could do a blog on Alpujjaras.
