Is Formentera Del Segura a good lively village to buy in?

Formentera is indeed a lovely village, with bars, and shops there. Also easy walking to Rojales, Beniofar and Benimar with even more choice.

For children Firmentera is a very family orientated village. Lots of fiestas throughout the year, a great play park area for younger children, a bike park, tennis courts, a community swimming pool only open in the summer. Sports facilities netball  football plus the Island with bbqs and sometimes shows and fiesta. Several times a year films shown in the square. 

I'm sure people with young children can tell you much more  but this is just from my o servations and what I know. 

Good luck in your search.

Thank you so much for this information feel easier now about viewing with potential for purchase 😀👍

I live there and want to move out because it is so NOISY.

Oh really well don't buy in Torrevieja so that is so noisy nowadays.

Do they let off literally hundreds of noise bombs, pretending they are fireworks, over the space of two hours?

Do the kids have a contest to see who can scream the loudest while their proud mothers look on?

And so on.

Unlike almost everyone else here, I have lived for years in numerous places in Spain, and holidayed for weeks in others, and Formentera beats them all.

Oh that sounds awful, I'm glad you have filled me in will have to give Formentera some real thought.

Though noisy in a different way, I liked nearby Almoradi.

While Formentera is like a small village, Almoradi is like a small town.

BTW, parking on some streets is one side for a month and the other side the next (it used to be twice a month) and the police hand out tickets, and ignorance is no excuse.

You will see repeated recommendations that you visit places you are thinking of buying in at different times throughout the year and if you are able to potentially rent for a period of time in the location before you opt to take the plunge in buying there.

If nothing else, this is because the transactional costs of buying, selling, and then buying again in a revised location are very high.

I don't live in Formentera but I cycle through there regularly along with a raft of other towns and villages that abut the Rio Segura as it runs down to the coast. Each offer their own social scene etc; only you will know which is right for you (if any) once you've experienced them.

Here are a couple of websites that may have some information in your quest for moving to Spain:

Citizens Advice Bureau Spain for bureaucratic stuff (you cannot just move here nowadays).

N332 for anything to do with driving in Spain and is for English speaking people.   The site, and their Facebook page, is run in collaboration with officers of the Guardia Civil and it has an English version of the Spanish equivalent of the Highway Code on it.

By the way, most towns have several fiestas each year along with quite noisy fireworks/bangers on a regular basis (i.e. during/for fiestas).
