area Algorfa.

My late husband and I came to live in Almoradí when I was 62 and he was almost 68.   We had 10 lovely years together here.   Almoradí has 6 large and a few small supermarkets, along with many other types of shops, a football ground, bus station (but not many buses), large medical centre, churches, many bars and restaurants and every Saturday morning there is a large market that takes over many of the streets in the centre of town.   Also, we are only about 20 minutes’ drive from the sea and some good beaches.   As with many Spanish towns there are also many fiestas with fantastic parades.

Is Algorfa part of Almoradi ?not knowing the area and saying not many buses a car is required .

Thanks for your reply and time.

Algorfa is just a few minutes from Almoradí, their boundaries ajoin.

Thank you for your time

Hi, there is a bus service several times a day from Algorfa to Torrevieja but I think you do really need a car. It’s a small village with about 8 restaurants and bars. In the summer there are lots of things going on in the square or up at the Ermita. It has a good mix of ex-pats from UK and other parts of Northern Europe, and also locals. I prefer it to Almoradi but I think Almoradi May have a better bus service. 

There’s a village pool open from end of June to September. Apartments such as Fontana’s, Cecilia and El Patio are popular and all have pools and are in walking distance of village. 

thank you for your time

Hi, thinking of buying in algorfa. What is general area like? Is it a safe area? Is there good public transport or would we need a car? Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hi. I’m 63 and just bought an apartment in Algorfa. The village is a lovely place you can walk to anywhere in the village within a few minutes. Public transport is thin on the ground and a car would mean getting around much easier. Almoradi is a few minutes away by taxi and has everything you could possibly need. However like any town I don’t think it felt right for me. It’s like everywhere and everyone you know the type of things you like to do and the type of places you usually enjoy. You have guardama and Torrevieja within 20 mins and both have fantastic beaches, proms and every type of restaurant you could possibly want. However the properties are much more expensive and it is much more impersonal because there is so much passing trade. I would recommend you go out for a couple of weeks and have a good look around the area. I would also highly recommend Home Costa Blanca. They speak perfect English, it’s a family business, they know Algorfa and surrounding areas as they live there and if you do purchase a property through the they will hold your hand every step of the way if you want them to. https://www.homecostablanca.com/ Good luck finding what you are looking for. 

Thanks very much for the information. It’s very helpful.
