Hello

Hi all,We just bought our cave at El Margin and love it,two months ago we'd never heard of them,saw them and instantly wanted one,two trips to Galera later,here we are!we spent over a year half heartedly looking for a place in france........say no more!
We are from Exmoor and as much as we love it,we are looking to move full time in a few years when our 17 year old is self sufficient,but,for now,winter in Spain sounds like a good plan.
We met lots of lovely people in Galera,both Spanish and British,even a nice chap from Chile,so we're really looking forward to spending some time there very soon! Hopefully meet some of you soon!

Welcome! More westcountry peeps. Where abouts in Exmoor are you from?

Welcome, you'll love being here, and this forum is the best place to meet new friends and find out loads of info. Look forward to bumping into you some time.

Welcome to cave living in Spain, I am sure you will love it as we do.

Hi Welcome, and for sure you are going to LOVE cave living not to mention the area in which you have chosen to buy your new home. Have fun. xx

Thanks all,frustrating that we can't be there instantly,but hopefully next month,sods law that we had already booked a holiday in portugal in early april before we new about the cave,now we'd rather be in the cave,then my wife is back at work,so gonna come over on my own for a while if anyone would like to pop in for a vino tinto they'd be most welcome!
@dave,we live at the bottom of Dunkery,near Porlock!

Ah yes, I used to do the rounds around there when I worked in the UK. Tried to fit it in at the same time as Caberboard at S. Molton. It was always a full day out and a pain on the N. Devon link, with all the loonies doing 90+  Its a v.nice area! Porlock hill we remain in my memory, going down it in a 'loaded' van.  

Hi and Welcome   

Hi, hope you know the winter is not so warm! Enjoy.

Hi,I think your cave is across the road from ours, if it is you then you met with friends of ours who were just moving out of a rental cave at the back of yours. By the way, learning more about chickens every day!
Hope to meet up with you when in El Margen.
Barry.
