Hi everyone,

I have just joined the forum and I thought I would introduce myself.

I am currently based in Manchester UK and work as an IT contractor/freelancer.

Looking to buy a flat in the Murcia, Alicante or maybe Malaga areas. Not sure yet, hence this message. I don't intend to move permanently yet, so will be a holiday home or bolt hole as I can work remotely depending on my client.

Can you recommend ay particular areas? My main requirements are that there is some outside space, either a smallish garden or terrace/balcony. Also not too far from an airport, max 45 mins in a car.

In 2017 I lived in Alicante for a few months and worked at the EUIPO office. I really liked it but had to return to the UK.

I am learning Spanish as well, so would like an area that is mixed with Spanish locals. Also I am not a golf fan (sorry) so not next to a golf course!

I have just started my journey of looking for a place so will probably ask more specific questions in the future.

¡Un saludo!

Ayub M.

Hi, I live in Alicante City, Elche is another option and flats are about 20K cheaper than where I am, I can't speak about Murcia as I've not been there. Your best bet is to search estate agents and organize viewings for your visit.

Hi Carl, thanks for the reply.

Yes we really like Alicate, we stayed fairly central. I remember Elche but just as we passed through it.

Do you have any experience with the other side of Alicante, namely Sant Joan or El Campello?

I think I visited once but it seemed a bit too quiet and we didn't have a car at the time.

San Juan is very quiet except for the summer months, El Campello is not really touristy just locals, it's ok I guess, depends what you're looking for.
