So we've heard about Moscow, Johannesburg, Durban, Zürich, Marbella, New York, Nassau....wherever it is that you call, or called home, or home-away-from-home....but where is the perfect place?...no crime, good lifestyle, cost-of-living, good infrastructure, good schools, public transport, or where nature still has the upper hand...does this place still exist, or are we forever looking at greener grass on the other side of the fence???.....

Where I'm living at the moment in a beautiful rented villa on a mountain 1 km up a pretty descent track (unless it rains) and only 5 kms from beautiful little village - 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, huuuuuuuuuuuuuge half covered terrace on 1st floor for all over suntan purpose off, huuuuuuuuuuuuge covered terrace downstairs with arches at front, mega enournous rooms and magnificiant views of the surrounding sierras - all for €420 per month (cheap coz there's no pool)

It's about 45 min drive from Malaga, about same from Marbella ...

And it fits MOST of the creteria listed above!!!

Lago applause soooooooooooooooo very pleasant to see your gorgeous self back amongst us ... although I don't log on as often due to often getting distracted by this thing called living and enjoying myself!!! wink
