Hi Christine
I am staying in Ayamonte for the summer and, along with two other ladies who regularly stay here, am trying to set up a Costa Women Ayamonte group.
I noticed that you are in Portugal near to the border and wondered if you would be interested in joining us? We will be meeting for a coffee and a chat at 12 on Thursday at café Passage in Laguna Square in Ayamonte. Feel free to bring any other ladies.
