👋🏼Hi, I am a British lady new to the area and I am hoping to meet people in Gran Canaria.
I would also love to be able to learn fluent Spanish. In exchange, I will teach you fluent English.
Take care of yourself and I look forward to connecting soon. 😊
Have a fantastic day 🌈✨

Welcome to Las Palmas!
There are a few Brits around, in Las Palmas - have you got residency sorted?
My husband, Pete, and I moved to LP in October 2021, and bought a flat in September 2022. Pete works online, and I am retired (ex school librarian)
There are 2 main gatherings, for new people. Mostly young people, but not all.
Tuesdays, from 8pm, at the San Remo Bar, on Calle Secretario Artiles, run by Nelleke on the Slack group:-

We are in the UK at the moment, until 24th August.
Might see you around when we get back.

Sorry - only just seen your message...
We were lucky enough to sneak in with a residency application before the dreaded Brexit was finalised. Because our application was already ongoing, it was still approved.
I don't actually know how Brits get residency in Spain now. I know there was talk of a Digital Nomad Visa being approved, but I don't know if that is up and running yet. There is also a non-lucrative visa, for retired people - but with that, you're not allowed to earn money, and have to have sufficient pension/savings money to live. (I'm guessing, like us, you'd have to have private health insurance with both of these visas)
Most of the Brits we know tend to come to Gran Canaria just for 3 months at a time, because of the restrictions.
Sorry - that's not a wildly positive response, is it, but the truth is that I really don't know how easy it is now, to move to GC, now that Britain is out of the EU.
