Hello Caroline
Look forward to meeting you when you move in.

The medical centre and town hall are very close together, only a pharmacy in between. When we had a slight medical problem and asked for advice in the pharmacy one of the assistants took us into the health centre and got us in to see a doctor!
Not much English spoken here, but generally very friendly and helpful. We need Spanish lessons too, but not looked too hard yet due to covid.
Are you buying in the town or countryside? Post deliveries don't go off the main roads out of town, so we have to use a PO box and collect post.
The town has really started to come back to life the last few months. Please ask about anything we may be able to help with, or pm if you like.

Hello Roger and Sarah,
Thank you very much for your response.
One of the reasons that we chose Benalup was that there seemed to be a recognizable civic centre.
The pharmacy seems to be super helpful.
We are hoping to buy on the edge of town...so it would be great to meet up.
Our next big hurdle is the NLV process at the Spanish embassy in Manchester.
Fingers crossed and documents triple checked!!
Kind regards
Caroline and Mike
