I live in a residencial block of flats in Benidorm. I rent a 2 bedroom apartment and it costs virtually the same as renting a caravan on a site. The difference being that in apartments you don't see your neighbours very often whereas on sites the neighbours are within "talking" distance.

Thank you very much I will ask you more as I go along I really am leaning towards an apartment as I'm sure I can make friends as I go it is just paying for a home and paying for the ground rent plus if I wanted to up sticks and move I can do so more easy but will see thank you for your advice

Hi there, i too am thinking exactly what you are to live in Benidorm for three months, I’m going more for the apartment option as remember everyone on the campsites had to leave when this COVID started so you could be homeless. I’m thinking after my three months to buy a apartment with small ...

...mortgage, the idea of living on a campsite appeals but bear in mind after 10 years you would have paid around €40.000 site fees which I feel is dead money. I know many people choose the campsites and are very happy there it’s just my personal preference. I’m also looking at Torrevieja as well as it’s lot cheaper and big expat community there.
