Why Spain?

Initially my son and family lives in Spain my grandson came over in Covid. We thought we would buy a holiday home spend our time in the holiday with family. Then 18 months into the destruction of Covid we decided to leave the UK sell up two cars two houses and away we went on a long arduous journey. I feel our journey is still in the beginning. At the in moment Benalmadena Pueblo. Malaga and 18 months we are learning finding our way.  The sun never lets you down … Result! ☀️🌸
