LOCAL PEOPLE
I would very much like to get in contact with local Brits, I am new to the area and am a bit lonely. I love the life here but am missing a good old chat and to hear English voices. I think I am a typical English person abroad, in the fact I miss all that is home but want the sun to go with it. So if anyone knows were I can find a group of people for a chat with tea and cake that would be great

The JIGSAW
A little silver-haired lady calls her neighbor and says, "Please
come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I
can't figure out how to get started."
Her neighbor asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The little silver haired lady says, "According to the picture on
the box, it's a rooster."
Her neighbor decides to go over and help with the puzzle.
She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all
over the table.
She studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then
turns to her and says,
"First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to
assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster."
She takes her hand and says, "Secondly, I want you to relax. Let's
have a nice cup of tea, and then," she said with a deep
sigh .........
"Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."
Cinema
Hi. I am visiting the area for the first time and wondered doea anyone know if there is a cinema locally that I could go to and do they show films in English? Thanks
There is one in Torrevieja, but I think they only show the films in Spanish with english subtitles.
I think Pilar Horodadad have a cinema and they show englsih films on certain nights, not sure which night though.

moving over
Hi we are moving to Spain at then end of the year and after a long time searching I have narrowed the areas down to 3 that I am interested in. Almoradi, Albatera and Catral. I will be bringing 2 children over that will be attending school. I want somewhere were there are expats but not overrun (for example La Marina), obviously with doctors, schools bars. Could anyone give me their opinions on the places I have mentioned. I am gettin so confused as to where would be best for us....
Hi, I live in Catral and it has a great mixture of cultures but is not over run! The town centre is great with everything you need. Both my children go to school here and are doing really well. Their are lots of great bars so the first few weeks we were here I think we tried all of them! Almoradi is a nice town too but has more English than Catral. Hope this helps.
