My name's Alex and this is my website all about Gran Alacant in Spain. Register now for free to talk about General Gran Alacant discussion and much more!
We don’t actually live in Spain, but go backwards and forwards from UK. So wanted a place near the airport. We bought a quad in GA (top/alto) about 15 years ago but moved after a couple of years mainly because of the noise on the urbanisation generally and from the neighbouring/joined houses.
We moved to montymar bajo/lower and it is great. Apart from being so much more quieter (we’re detached now and on a road at the edge of the urbanisation so still have access to communal pool etc, if we wanted it) being where we are we can easily walk to Carabassi bars, GA centre and plaza Mayor so plenty of places to eat and drink. There’s a really good atmosphere at the latter, particularly in Summer when they have live music in the centre of the plaza for all to enjoy.
Also good walks from here as close enough to walk to the beach and have a meal or drink along Arenales or walk around el clot. We found at top Alacant it was a long haul up and down cardiac hill...especially in summer when it’s hot to walk to places.
We walk to the GA centre for shopping too with our trusty shopping trolley (Rupert!!).
So, for us, lower end of Carabassi comes up trumps over the top end - where there is a lot lot choice for places to go as opposed to the top end where you have the hill to contend with to get to most places and the bars there are are mainly at the side of the street.
Good luck, and hope you enjoy wherever you decide 😎😊
