I’ve lived here in Montoro for 6 years, when I first arrived with my husband I felt so lost alien almost. Now not so bad, because we live so far inland there are not many expats, but we just get on with it. I love living in Spain and I learn something new every day. So finding your website is a blessing for me. I will be sure to follow with great interest. It is so interesting to know how other expats live their lives here. Thank you. Peggy C
