Cheers Paul. We're driving over. So will give you a wave on the way past
Stopping overnight in Le Mans and then in Zaragoza before hitting Alicante.

Buen viaje.

It’s been cloudy this morning over here Stu, bloody hot though! We’ve just been for a long Indian lunch. The sun has come out now, gonna take me all my time not to fall asleep in it!!

Good job you didn't leave it until after Brexit, or you would have been stuck in the UK.

Keeping my season ticket & can get flights from October for 48 Euro. Leighton jamelegend i’m In La Viscaronda up the hill from Duquessa port, on the lash in Estepona tonight, will have to have a beer when I move over.

Must be nice going somewhere to have respite from our British sunshine

I'm over in Spain on holiday at the moment, near to Sotogrande, love over here and would move tomorrow.

All the best mate. I hope you enjoy your new life you deserve it.

Best wishes to you all, Stu.

It was the only one I knew was "lager", I would never willingly choose Heineken they only had like 3 or 4 pumps on though to be fair after being in that heat anything would taste good.

All the very best to you all in your new home WestMidsClaret.
Hope you settle in quickly.

West Mids-think we may have met several times in Warwick (the Rover v Burnley game on screen in a pub)

Very best wishes to you and best of luck

I think we've had a few outings with the Warwickshire Clarets. All the very best

Cheers boys. Last leg of our European marathon! Zaragoza really is a beautiful place btw and worth a visit.

Congratulations and hope everything goes well, we are just finalising our own house purchase in Playa Flamenca.

Cheers pal. Best of luck to you too.

How do I change my username to QuesadaClaret??

I am thinking of doing the same move next year , not full time though

Congratulations on making the move WestMidsClaret/ QuesadaClaret.

If you are up the hill a bit walking back from the bars/ restaurants will keep you fit pal.
We are driving down in September for a few weeks, Caen to Zaragoza, then next morning we pop in to Aaragon for the Friday practice session of MotoGP before continuing south of Alicante.

Tivvyclaret.
I spend as much time as possible in Playa Flamenca as family have a house on Nicholas de Busi (market st)
The orihuela costa is a lovely place to be based. Good luck for the future pal.

A colleague of mine who voted in favour of Brexit is currently planning his move to Spain. Let's hope no unexpected changes in arrangements make his life uncomfortable.

Cheers Clevedon. We're the Dona Pepe side. About 1.4km from the arches at Quesada. It's a nice walk but it's a bloody warm walk

We are Ron's 22, hear the roar...

Ooops sorry wrong world cup!

Morning all,

This post was pointed out to me by my dad, I'm also moving out to the Costa Del Sol, specifically Sotogrande. I'm hoping to arrive by Friday next week (driving the car down) so if any Costa Clarets know of a good spot to watch the Southampton and all following games within reach of Sotogrande and ideally with others in claret and blue shirts then please do let me know!

WestMids - we may have met before - I have lived in Rugby the last 4 years and have travelled with Warwickshire Clarets on a couple of occasions, ironically long before I lived in Warwickshire Including to Wembley for the play offs.

Hope you're enjoying your time in Spain.

nice bar in Sotogrande called The Hairy Lemon on the port excellent bar, on Fridays they do Tapas very cheap but you have to book
Sotogrande is very expensive its very up market
I lived in Alcaidesa which is next Urbanization down towards Gibraltar
If we are televised you can watch the match at the Ivy Wine Bar at Alcaidesa and the Hairy lemon but my mates are from Burnley and live in Alcaidesa and watch the matches in the Ivy in the square
If your up the coast in Benalmadena the Lounge Bar in bonanza square is where all our games are shown and its the place to meet Benalmadana Clarets

Thanks Longside! I imagine ill swing by the ivy on Sunday for the Southampton game in that case, have been to the hairy lemon when I went for the interview, seemed decent.

Thanks for the tips, I am sure I'll get up to benalmadena as well through the year for some matches too !
