Hi,
In the season La Mata is a busy place but it's quieter during the winter months. As in most places there is a weekly market, it is on the bus route, it comes complete with amenities and a good selection of bars and restaurants. La Mata is close to towns like Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja, if you're into golf, La Marquesa in Ciudad Quesada is probably the closest course.
The local beaches are top. Alicante Airport is about 45 minutes down the road and the city of Alicante another 5-10minutes. Plenty of things to see and do inland, in places like Elche and Orihuela, also don't forget Benidorm where you have Terra Mitica, Terra Natura, Aqualandia and of course the Asia Gardens.
As far as properties are concerned, there are plenty of resale apartments and you'll be able to pick up 2beds for under 100k€, things look a little different on the new build side of things, not so much on offer and the prices are higher.
I hope this is of some help....
Best,
JP
