General Information

Hi

I don't know it well, but have driven through on a number of occasions and I'd say it is a quiet place and rather hilly in general. Bus service appears to be very limited https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinar_de_Campoverde and https://pinardecampoverde.com/local-info-eng.html 

Hopefully someone with better local knowledge will comment soon!

Cheers

Pinar de Campoverde is mostly flat. You can buy a nice house and walk to all amenities. It’s a very friendly village with a lot going on.

I live in Campoverde and it is quite quiet.  There is a small supermarket, two chemists and several restaurantes but if you need a bigger supermarket the nearest is about 15 minutes by car, but 25 minutes to others.  There is an extremely limited bus service that will take you to Pilar de la Horedada, but probably only one a day going and one coming back leaving little time there.  It is good to have a car.

We are couple in our 70's looking for a quiet area of Costa Blanca which is not on the Mar Menor with the amenities close by and on a bus route would be a bonus.  Have you found anywhere suitable on your travels

Have a think about what you mean by "quiet".

We live in Playa Flamenca, very close to La Zenia Boulevard, which is a major attraction to both localish Spanish and expats, as are the beaches.The approach roads are very busy, but we live in a gated community just a ten minutes walk away. Our house is very tranquil barring just a few weeks per year when Spanish families arrive to get away from the heat in Madrid (primarily). Be aware that the Spanish are very noisy by nature! (That's not racist in any way, just an accepted fact).

All amenities are within walking distance, and the area is flat. Public health centres and hospital can be reached by bus/taxi at minimal cost.

Bars and restaurants are open all year round.

Hope I've helped!

Cheers

We are in our late 60s and now live in Guardamar de segura it is flat and has a fab beach good bus service . But has everything you would need within walking distance mercadona / market on wed / Restaurants and not many tourist at all only in July August when all the Spanish arrive . It is very quiet but we can get a bus to busier places if we want . 

Many thanks for your reply. Someone has recommended Pilar De La Horadada, further south of Costa Blanca, do you know anything about that area. 

We have been to Pilar de Horadada it’s flat and quiet but felt not enough there for us but everyone wants different things . I hope you find your home soon . 

lol - none of the Costa Blanca is on the Mar Menor, so that won’t be a problem for you.

The Mar Menor is in Murcia and not Comunidad Valencia. The Costa Calida is a beautiful area, much quieter than further up the coast and of course if you purchased a property in that area you’d have the benefit of a lower property tax. 

Please be careful when looking for quiet areas  as  it depends on your definition of quiet, but some areas are so quiet that bars restaurants, even supermarkets close out of season.  You need an area with a bit of a buzz to enable you to make friends, join groups etc. If you choose an area off the tourist track, you’ll also need to be more fluent in Spanish
