The catalan classes are organised both in PP and Polenca and are organised by the local council. They are advertised around both towns and (I think) on the councils website. They run in winter only. For Spanish look in the Daily Bulletin, a number of people advertise private classes but using interesting ways rather than boring grammar books. Google Marcus santamaria who does good Spanish classes on line.best wishes

Millie50, we too followed our dream and are now into our 5th year. I would echo the other posts re skype, we have three daughters and 3 grandchildren and I think in hours we see them more than if we lived locally. We spend quality time with them and as whaleywanderer pointed out it is quicker to get to Mallorca than some places in the Uk. Good Luck,enjoy making the dream a reality.

Hi again. I also agree with what the others have said. I know that there are many who make it work really well. Also, I have to say that if we hadn't tried it, we would certainly have regretted it always, and let's be honest; living on a Mediterranean island 100 yards for the beach isn't as bad as it sounds!!.
Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do great.
