    So basically, she didn’t think it through before settling in Estepona full-time. Living somewhere is not the same as being there on holiday. And let’s face it, as a retiree, much of life is about coffee mornings, lunches and generally not doing much but doing what you choose to do when you want and at your speed. And discovering new hobbies to fill your days. Hardly Estepona’s fault. Easy answer, though, rent out the Estepona property for income, and go back to the UK. It’s not exactly rocket science.
