Advice on moving to Dolores - What's it like?

Hi we live in the post code of Dolores. There is everything in the town though not as contained under one roof as in a supermarket! But good fun sorceing where who sells what when. Market day is Friday.

Lovely place if Spanish is what you are looking for as not many here speak English orBelgium!!

Good luck x 

Thanks lot.

We speak Flemish (i.e. Dutch) ... so we are used to learn foreign languages. He estate a estudiar Espagnol :)

O we have a couple not far from us from Holland too. X 

I live near to Dolores (but have a Catral Post Code)

I find Dolores brilliant for everything. 

There are small bakeries, nice cafes, a great Dentist, the computer shop is where I got my laptop and buy my printer ink. The Chemists are good and know what they are doing too. It is a nice market on Fridays which sell everything from fresh produce to clothes and toys. 

I use the Bank and the Post Office in Dolores and find the staff very helpful. 

You can buy all your basic needs in Dolores.There are two pharmacies,An indoor market that sells fresh fruit ,& veg,fish,etc.There is a Friday morning open market every Friday that sells fresh veggies,fruit,nuts meat,clothes etc.There are two gyms,a supermarket you can buy meat groceries etc.A post office,banks....

Personally I'd prefer Almoradi - it's a larger town and has a better choice of supermarkets, butchers, and all other types of shop. But they're only a few minutes apart, so no reason not to live in Dolores and do your main shopping in Almoradi.

Hi Jim,Thats probably true, but in my case I have already bought an apartment in Dolores & until I find a small auto car will be walking everywhere.But have been to Dolores before and find I can buy all of my basic needs within a 10 min easy  walk.The Friday morning market sells a large variety of goods & is an enjoyable experience.Wished there was some lively music there though!! Quesada has more life such as Rock & Roll,flamenco,Zumba and some good shows.

you will love it good luck x

Thank you...  and all of the other forummembers who gave us their advice and convinced us to choose Dolores. We hope to move in by the end of the year. :)
