Dreaming. 'I would love to live on La Palma'
The dream of a life in a warm climate within Europe is a dream that infects many people once they have visited La Palma. They fall in love with the island and its people and the relaxed lifestyle. La Palma being within the Europe Union makes life a lot easier for EU residents. Visitors often get infected with what we call the La Palma Virus.
At this stage the ideas are vague and people wonder what it would be like to live on La Palma. We sometimes get asked this impossible question .. what is it like to live on La Palma.
There are as many answers to that question as there are people on the island.
It depends on who you are, what you like, your age, what you are expecting, how good you are at adapting, whether you have to work or travel and whether it works out the way you wanted. Its a bit like asking what its like living in Cornwall. If you don't have any income its bad everywhere, if you work in Glasgow and like visiting Harrods every week its a real pain and if you hate tourists then don't live in St.Ives or Newquay.
Somewhat surpisingly we also get enquiries from people who ask for details about a specific house who have never been to La Palma.
So what do we suggest that dreamers should do?
Either stop dreaming and take some action or hold on to your dreams until you are ready to take action.
99% of all dreamers just keep dreaming, which is fine except when they expect estate agents to wave a magic wand to create jobs for them, reduce house prices by 70% and shorten the traveling time to Northern Europe.
