A weekly visit for Miguel, 78, who lives alone in Alicante

Looking for a friendly person in Alicante to visit Miguel once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Miguel, who's 78. Miguel lives alone in Alicante, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Miguel loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
