Just accepted an offer on the flat.
Hooray, I'm off to sunny Spain.
Looking forward to some Actual Mountains, right on the doorstep (although, at a more careful and sedate pace - I've broken enough bones lately and I'm no longer a chicken of the spring variety).
Wahay. 😀
Roughly where in Spain?
You know Spain is a devoutly Catholic country right?
Sure you'll fit in? 😉
Orgiva.
Good luck
Orgiva.
Mmmmmmmm, tapas, fizzy water out the ground and epic singletrack.

Thanks Spoon. Bit different from Leith Hill, eh?
Obviously, I'll still be hanging around here like Eau de Cologne...
Well done, Mr Woppit. If you go too quiet, I'll start a Religion thread.
Incidentally, I'll let the local parish priest know you're coming. 😉
What have I done? The sound of tumbleweeds is deafening. 😐
We're out there in Orgiva with Biking Andalucia 3-10 June if you want to hook up for a beer 🙂
Hooray, I'm off to sunny Spain.
Hmm... sunny.

@ weeksy
Fantastic. I'll do that.
I got a rug from Orgiva.

Off to sunny Spain to live, mogrim...
Well, what exactly should we comment on?
Wopz sold his Flat, Yay! Good on him.
Wopz is moving to Spain, Yay! Good on him.
Is there anything we're missing??
They'll work it out after the locusts, then the horsemenIncidentally, I'll let the local parish priest know you're coming.
Nice one matey.
🙂
Good look with it and let us know is how the climate suits old bones.
We'll be down first two weeks in August, if that suits?
Like an Oswald Boateng.
as a 2nd home or to live out there permanently? either way, nice one!
I take you'll be hosting the occasional StWer? 😀
Permanently.
Nice one. I'm looking at buying in Tarifa at the moment. Rent out the Weymouth place and that should cover my living costs.
I think Orgiva is one of the villages (town?) that you end up in for lunch with Ciclo Montana....
Quite a hippy vibe to it, I seem to remember?
Great riding out that way!! Nice one.

Be happy to. You'd need to be O.K. with Non-extreme Pootling stylie, mind...
*bookmarks thread for future proof*
hey thanks dude. What are doing for work out there or are you lucky enough to be retired?
Retired. In about a fortnight. Completion on the sale in six weeks then it's on the plane and skedaddle....
@ mogrimOff to sunny Spain to live, mogrim...
Yeah, I was joking. I live in sunny Spain too and rain's forecast all next week 😀
Jeeze I once spent a week in Orgiva - went out to stay with friends who lived in some kind of commune up the valley only to find they had gone back to England! There were no cellphones in those days. Had to stay a week in the hotel by the bridge as I had an out and back ticket. Cycling back out to Malaga airport I was damned fit though after all those hills.
Living the dream there Mr Woppit.
All the very best.
Oh, excellent. Thanks. 😀 8)
That's a long way south, great Winters and properly hot Summers. Too hot for me. Hope you are taking a drum kit to play along [url= https://soundcloud.com/togetherness-of-joycourts/orgiva-church-bells ]with the locals.[/url]
Congrats!
Fenomenal!
Fantastic Woppers, gorgeous area, cracking biking.
Tell Chris stewart I was asking for him!.
Enjoy sir.
My brother and his Mrs's bike shop opened [s]this[/s] last year in Bubion, just up the road from Orgiva if you feel like checking it out anytime...

You get a few travellers in Orgiva, they mostly live down on the riverbed. Great part of the world to live imo.
Just a little bit jealous.
Good luck.
