We bought in La Zenia about four years ago, used the property initially as a holiday home until we moved here permanently about eighteen months ago. In that time only seen one snake that was little more than a large worm, really nothing to worry about, unless you are planning on tramping through rough waste ground.

I have lived about 20 minutes' drive inland from Torrevieja and have never seen a snake in almost 14 years!

I really don't know how snakes are with stairs or operating a lift, LOL.

Sorry but couldn't help myself there.

They could probably use drains and pipes etc, you just keep them covered.

Forget it! I live out in the huerta and I'm lucky if I see one snake a year. When I try to take a picture or pick one up they always do a runner.

Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't around. 

Just sayin'

bungalow,,  they were brilliant,,,  sunbeachvillas.com.  

Good luck....

Snakes. Lived here 20 years. seen many. many. 10 or 20 a year.

Only one  (the viper) many sorts (tend to avoid humans). don´t panic. Many other creatures more dangerous.
