We live a mile down the road in bigastro, jacarilla is quiet but has everything you need, shops, doctor pharmacy, school hospital, public swimming pool, even a small hospital. We love going there; only reason we didn't buy there is because couldn't find what suited us. Properties being empty and on market for long time is normal for Spain. The housing market is not like UK at all so do not buy thinking you will have a property that will increase in value and be able to sell quick. Better to rent first, find your feet, get to know what you want and then buy (or you risk being stuck in a property that is difficult to sell - see above). That was the best piece of repeated advice we received when we were looking to come out here. Not sure about the buses that pass through jacarilla but the service is excellent for bigastro.
