My wife and I have very recently arrived in Estepona from South Africa. We were wondering if there was an english speaking group or club that we could join to meet new friends. It would be great if there was such a forum to meet new people. Ideally somewhere near Estepona / Marbella but anywhere as far as Malaga. Unfortunately we only speak english but are planing on taking Spanish lessons shortly so that we can also get to meet and communicate with Spanish people.

If you like physical things its a really good way to meet  English speakers.  If you search up hikes, walks and activities on Facebook for local area you can probably meet people that way.  I also find volunteering to be a helpful way to meet people.  If you like animals there is always a ton of need everywhere.

There is a group that meets every weekend for cold water swimming in Estepona.  All depends what you like to do.

Enjoy!

Thank you Richard. Most helpful. Have just seen your post, so too late to attend the coffee get together for today but would love to attend next time, and unfortunately we have a prior appointment for this Wednesday evening but will try and make it.
