Considering Campoverde
Hi,
I've retired at last and Avvy is retiring in the early summer next year. In February this year we spent a couple of weeks in Cartagena. Loved the old town but we couldn't live there (we don't want to be in a big town, prefer somewhere villagey outside a town that has facilities a village doesn't).
We have had a look at the Campoverde to Mils Palmeras area (walked along the Rio Seco - we are into walking/hiking), looked at Horadada etc. and really took a shine to Campoverde, particularly the old village. We had a brief look at Alcazares and Orihuela but weren't taken by them (we were there only for a drive through, so may be mistaken about them).
We intend to rent in Campoverde for a few weeks in the summer to ensure an informed choice. However, southern Spain is a big place, so we would welcome advice about where to settle.
Where else should we consider? We live in Manchester and have had enough of miserable winters. We don't want an apartment in a complex; we would prefer a detached villa/house with a decent sized pool (so budget £180-220k) but would be happy with a communal pool. We would need a garden or courtyard to potter about in. Easy access to restaurants (the usual :-) we are foodies) and the countryside for hikes. We would like to part of both the expat and Spanish communities (both leaning Spanish).
Please let us have the benefit of your advice,
Avvy and Aidan
