We are looking to retire in 12 months time. La Mata looks like a great place. Never been to Spain before. We can get away from work for about 2-3 weeks in sept. Or Oct.. which would be the better month? We would like to be on or near the beach. Would you recommend a hotel or rented apartment? Any recommendations on where to stay. I know the visa going to be a hassle (South Africans). Anyone who may have been through the process, to give advice?

I'd say September myself - when you get into October there's an increased chance of torrential downpours.

Ref the visa requirement, have a look at this thread on the original LM forum and see if it helps:

It's on the topic of visitors rather than residents, but it may give you some ideas.

Temperatrue wise there would be very little difference but in October there is as Jim says more chance of occasional heavy rain.
