Hi Deek
I live near Arenales del Sol . I can tell you that it is a very Spanish resort, although you will hear a few other nationalities. There is no ‘expat’ community (British) so it depends what you want to do over the winter . If you enjoy walking & cycling and peace and quiet then it could be suitable . It is very quiet in the winter with only a handful of bars/restaurants open. You would have a beautiful beach on your doorstep to enjoy .
If you enjoy English speaking company and more facilities eg shops/ bars/ restaurants / gym etc then consider Gran Alacant or Santa Pola .
All 3 places mentioned in this post are served by the No3 bus Alicante - Santa Pola. Also, they are 10-20 minutes from Alicante airport .
Hope this helps 😀
