Hello Margaret, My wife, Joan, & I have lived in Guardamar in an apartment opposite the autobus station for 14 years and love Guardamar with the freedom to walk to all the important everyday shops, townhall, park, forests, beach etc. We do drive to Santa Pola, Elche, Torrevieja, Rojales, Almoradí etc but we could do all those trips using the good network of buses that passes through Guardamar. I can order most meals in Spanish but Joan can chat with the locals in Spanish if they slow-down to her level of understanding. We try to support the local entertainment & cafes with a few aquaintances of different nationalities. Joan is now a slow walker due to arthritis, but we walk to the promenade every week for a tapas at El Velacho which is always busy - usually a reliable indicator of good service. If you (or anyone else) is interested in meeting us, please leave a message and we can exchange telephone numbers & emails in private. Regards, Peter
