Any Spanish you can learn will be a big step forward. Just don’t underestimate how much there is to it. A fair number of Costa Ricans speak some English, and they are very patient and accommodating, so getting along won’t be terribly difficult if you’re not fluent in Spanish. Still, learn all you can.
Much of the Central Valley, the Grecia area included, is hilly. Only you can determine how easily you’ll be able to get around. Maybe some time at one of the local gyms will help.
Yes, most of our needs can be met locally. We do shop some in Alajuela and Escazu, and we get some of our medical care in Escazu, too. Some of that is by choice.
Oh! And taxis are everywhere. Getting around by cab will not present a problem.[/quote]Thank you David for all the Information it has been very helpful . It has been very helpful. Thank You.
Danny SpellHey David thank you for responding. I will be looking in the central valley region. Transportation will be a must. Sounds like you are in a good region. Could you forward link to get in touch with George. I speak no spanish but plan on learning some very basic before moving. Will that be a problem. Also had a hip replacement in 2010. Do okay going downhill uphill is soso. How is the terrain around Grecia? Does Grecia offer most of your needs. On a side note does Grecia offer a gym to work out? Once again Thank You.

The length of time for the bus travel depends on where you want to end up – and it will be inexpensive.
