Product Description
Product Description
Five years ago, John and I started talking about retiring overseas. You know what it's like: the newspapers are full of horror stories illustrating how the country is going downhill; we have a typically British rain-sodden summer; prices are rising all the time; there is a tube strike so the dreadful journey to work gets even worse - it's time to get out of here! I'm sure that strikes a chord with many people, but in our case it wasn't just talk, as we made the decision to buy what seemed to be our dream home in Santa Ana del Monte, just outside the Spanish town of Jumilla, which is famous for its wine. John and I thought that the best aspect of living in Jumilla would be the wine, or perhaps the sunshine, or the relaxed way of life, however we quickly discovered that it is the people. Jumillanos are friendly and welcoming, and although we have only been living here a few months, whenever we walk around the town somebody recognises us and says "Hola", "Buenos días" or even (especially the children) "Hello". Retiring The Olé Way is the intimate, honest and inspiring story of Sue and John Walker's move from the hustle-and-bustle of London to their new home in rural Southern Spain. It makes entertaining and informative reading for anyone wishing to enjoy an active retirement in the sun. Sue Walker was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and spent her childhood in Canada, Norfolk and Lincolnshire. She joined the WRNS when she left school to travel and played hockey and indoor football while serving. Sue took up running after marrying for the first time and having a family because she decided it was a cheap and easy sport for a busy mother of three. After careers in IT and Personnel Sue trained and now works as a complementary therapist. This book chronicles Sue's adventures with her husband John as they set about to enjoy an active retirement in south-east Spain.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Read this before you book that viewing trip!,
By Brinkley (Almeria, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Retiring The Ole Way: The Young Retiree's Guide to Enjoying Life in Spain (Paperback)
Reading this book is like having a long chat with a friend who's been there, done it and survived to tell the tale - and isn't in it for a quick buck. When moving to Spain there are so many people prepared to tell you anything to make you part with your money, it is refreshing to have an easy to read, informative book that tells it as it is, the good and the bad and yet leaves you still wanting to move. I wish it had been available before we started, my life would have been a lot simpler. There is a super chapter at the end with useful tips and info summarised for quick reference. Anyone with the slightest thought of moving to Spain should read this, but it's also a good book if you just enjoy a good read.

I bought this for my aunt who is getting ready to go over to southern spain herself, and she said it was the best birthday gift she received! really glad there is something out there in the market that speaks to this age group - and my aunt loved how honest Sue was in her writing. and i cannot wait to go visit her when she goes...although i may have to check out Jumilla as well!

Refreshingly candid advice,

This review is from: Retiring The Ole Way: The Young Retiree's Guide to Enjoying Life in Spain (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book and found it hard to put down. The book is packed with useful insights into the issues facing anyone who is considering retiring to inland Spain, delivered in a refreshingly honest style. The case studies of other British retirees that Sue has met who have moved to Spain are fascinating. A very informative and uplifting book.
