This blog is our journey to a new life in Spain.
Nigel and I, Angelika, together as Nigelika-on-tour, are embarking on an adventure to find a new life, a new home in a new country.
We are moving from Leitrim (Nigel) and Longford (Angelika) in Ireland to somewhere in Spain.
As Nigel is leaving his absolutely beautiful farm near Dromahair, we need to find a spot, that is as least as wonderful as that. Just warmer, drier and more fun to live.
I will regularly post updates of our search for our little paradise, because I would like our family and friends to follow our journey, so they know we are still alive and happy. I will try and be honest about our trials and tribulations, what shouldn’t be hard as I am German and mostly cannot but be brutally honest.
We will bring with us my little Toyota Auris, our clothes, maps, a laptop, a Garmin sat nav and Spanish dictionary, as we do not speak Spanish -yet, and lots of goodwill, hope, a sense of adventure and a pinch of madness ….
Enjoy guys, and keep us posted on the adventure …

Hi Angelika and Nigel. Keep us posted on your tribulations and triumphs. Hope you get Almonte sorted asap as there’s not a lot in Matalascanas especially this time of the year. Donana national park is amazing but I think the mozzies saw “tourist” written on my forehead and selected me for dinner! Next time I’ll bring mozzie spray! Have a great adventure. It’ll be brilliant and you’ll never regret the move. Pat Cavanagh

Hi Nigel & Angelika. Hope you are both OK. Have joined your blog. The temperatures in Spain and Portugal have been very high this year. How has the lack of water affected you.
