Finding Our Perfect Climate: From Costa Blanca to Asturias
By Helen and Roger, who traded Costa Blanca’s heat for the gentle summers of Asturias.
After eight wonderful years of retirement on Spain’s Costa Blanca, we found ourselves facing an unexpected challenge – the increasingly hot and humid summers. Despite our love for the Spanish sun (it’s why we chose Spain, after all!), we found ourselves spending most summer afternoons hiding in air-conditioned rooms, counting down to the cooler months.
We knew we needed a change, and Northern Spain – specifically Asturias – caught our attention. But having never visited the region, we felt lost trying to find the right location. That’s when we discovered Galicia & Green Spain Property & Relocation, and it changed everything.
Working with Donna as our relocation specialist opened up possibilities we hadn’t even considered. We had a clear wish list: a central coastal location, walking distance to bars and restaurants, and access to coastal hiking routes. Donna didn’t just listen – she delivered, presenting us with three carefully chosen coastal towns, complete with insights about tourism levels, microclimates, and (our favorite part!) the local food and drink scene.
When Donna suggested a property in Ribadesella’s historic centre, we knew we’d found our match. Having her expertise saved us countless hours of aimless searching and uncertainty. While our Spanish is passable for daily life, navigating property purchases and legal matters would have been overwhelming without G&G’s support.
From attending viewings as our interpreter to organizing surveys, handling contracts, and even negotiating a better price, Donna made the entire process seamless. She even arranged for power of attorney to handle our January completion while we’re away and helped us set up our local bank account.
For anyone considering a move to Northern Spain, we can’t recommend Galicia & Green Spain Property & Relocation enough. They turned what could have been a daunting relocation into an exciting new chapter of our lives. Our only regret? Not finding them sooner!
