Auto-translated to English by AIAt first it takes some getting used to, but after so many years it becomes your own. There's usually people around and striking up a conversation is easy. There's also employment if you like working in detail or in hospitality. Lots of nature for walking, close to the coast, and shops open all year round. Only one bus line runs through here once an hour, and they plan to change that in the future, but it certainly won't be an improvement.
