Note on Brexit! At the time of writing - the day after the polls closed - there is no solid information available on changes to our ex-pat lifestyle post-Brexit. Amazon will not allow me to send you an edited version with changes incorporated, BUT as and when they become definite, I will ensure that ALL CHANGES THAT HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR RETIREMENT IN THE SUN WILL BE CLEARLY SET OUT ON MY WEBSITE - WWW.INDIAMILLAR.CO.UK. Please check the website from time to time, as changes will be set out as and when I find out they are accurate! And as a matter of interest, will we be returning to the UK? Only if the authorities nail us into a crate and put us on a flight from Alicante .... My husband and I got home quite late last night, around 10:30, after enjoying a delicious 4-course meal with wine and a complimentary liqueur, which cost us €12.50 each. We sat on the terrace in moonlight bright enough to cast shadows, listening to music for a couple of hours. Before we turned in for the night, we took a dip in the pool; why not? The water temperature was still a very pleasant 32°C.This may sound like something out of one of those glossy Sunday supplement lifestyle magazines, but I assure you it is not. This is normal summer life for those of us lucky Ex-Pats who live here on the wonderful Costa Blanca. And no, we are not millionaires, nor are we in possession of huge pensions - I wish. My husband is not even a retired bank robber - the amazed response from an English tourist we were chatting to a few weeks ago, when we told him we had lived here for the last 10 years!Tempted to join us? This is what Volume 2 of "Dreaming of Retiring to the Costa Blanca?" is all about. What you need to be aware of. What the pitfalls are, and how to avoid them. Basically - together with Volume 1 - all the information you need to make life here as pleasant and hassle free as it possibly can be. Because trust me, if you just leap in to the move without doing your research, hassle is exactly what you are going to get. Spain is not England with sunshine, it has different laws. Different ways of doing things. But get it right, and there is no reason why you shouldn´t join the growing tribe of Ex-Pats who know they made the right decision.Volumes 1 and 2 of "Dreaming of Retiring to the Costa Blanca are written to give you all the information you need to make the dream a reality. Volume 2 contains a mix of totally new information that has arisen from the huge amount of feedback I received after publishing Volume 1; it also contains updates on all the vast amount of legislation that concerns Ex-Pats which has been enacted here in Spain in 2015. The majority of this legislation benefits us Ex-Pats, but it is complicated and can be very confusing; I have done my best to iron out the jargon and make it comprehensible.Enjoy, and enjoy the lifestyle that waits for you here even more!
