    Nice. We have found a nice villa on La Torre golf resort, that we are very tempted to buy but also looking at Mar Menor. 

     

    La torre is where we’re heading, looks a lovely set up. Could see myself in retirement going for an early run / game of golf and relaxing by the pools in the afternoon.  It’s our retirement target!
    Nice. Will see you on the 1st tee one day.

    Have a look at La Finca Golf - it's where we've ended up.

    I couldn’t sleep last night so was looking at meta
    Facebook is enough to send anyone to sleep!
    With the Meta share price down 35% over the past month. Being asleep could be extremely costly.

    Thankfully would never invest in that. I did so well with my 6 shares in my ISA. Made just shy of 20% since November but sold all on Friday as got spooked by Russia. I have started filling my wife IsA now and investing in Vangaurd and will be doing the same with my ISA once this Russia thing blows over.

    What is the impact of brexit if wanting to retire to Spain? I thought max stay is around 90 days?
    It's just my opinion and not advice.
