Lots of questions

Have just started looking as need to leave the UK in the next month and can't face another winter
Seem to have a few options , six months on a golf course, nice and easy and cheap but worried it will be dead

Any ideas of ways to find decent apartments in the city ? or should I do 6 months to settle in

Also good movers , not moving big stuff but loads of boxes and clothes etc
any good ones you can recommend ?

Last question pets
Can they be taken as carry on the flight or do they have to go as cargo
websites are quite confusing

Thanks x

John

Animals will be carried in the hold but very few airlines do this. I think Monarch do it but not sure. When we moved over we had our dogs transported overland by a pet carrier.

Hey in regards to your pets, I moved to Murcia last August and had my three cats driven over, they were fine and i definitely recommend the company. They are called transpets you can find them through google

Hi John,

I arrived to Murcia almost 2 years ago and I love it. The quality of life is great here if you have a job. To look for a property to rent or buy, I advise you to come on holiday and check the areas you like. I know well Murcia but I don麓t know what you are looking for so I cannot advise you further. Personnaly im living in Barrio del Carmen, it is at 15min walk from the city center. I live in a rooftop of 140m2 with a terrace of 40m2 that I pay 500 a month. You can use some websites such as idealista.com or fotocasa. However, if you need a comprehensive support, you can contact a local real estate agent that knows perfectly well the area and will help you to find the best area and home for you. I think the agent ready4spain.com/en/ is based in Murcia but they speak English.

I came with my cat from France and I had to pay a fee of around 80 if I remember well to bring it with me. To must to the Rage vacine, it is obligatory in Spain.

I hope this will help you.
All the best,
Melissa
