Hello Sligogent, 

Am also from SE Ireland with a quad in Playa Flamenca. We travel over by car each year in October great now with ferry from Rosslare to Bilboa. Approx 8 hour drive to Torreveija. Unfortunately did not get over this year due to covid so looking forward to October booked on ferry for 8th October. W...

...e are fortunate as we have had our 2 jabs of Pfizer vaccine just over 2 weeks ago. Cabo Roig has a great selection of bars and restaurants on what they call the strip. We live near Ferns, if you want to discuss anything we could meet up over a drink when we are allowed.

Morning  from  Sunny South East  of Ireland 

The  other  Bunaglows  for sale is  with  Property  and  Villas in  Spain,  I  was  talking  to  Robert Lysdale,

Yes  Bunaglows   interest   me  as you  have  answered  a few questions,   is  Coba  Roig  a  Flat area,   I  would  expect  some noise as  it  a  Holiday /Tourists   area,  but  late  nightt  parties  loud  music   I  could  not  handle  like most  people  of  my  vintage,  I  enkoy  my  sleep  and  peace

The  neighbours  in  other Bungalow  I  am lead  to  believe  were British/Irish  as  Bungalow  had  gutters on  it,  a  rare  sight  in  Spain  I  was  told.

Yes  I  would  like to  view your  friends  Bungalow,  but  if  they  need fast  sale  I  would not  be able to visit  Spain  until  September  October  time,  as  I  will  not  travel  until  I   recieve  my  vaccine,   and  travel  is  permitted,,  i  have  no  date   yet  as  to  when  I  recieve  vaccine,  Things   in  Republic   are  moving  at  a  snails  pace  and it  one  bit  of  bad news after another,  Astra  Zennca.

I  was  going  to  ask you  if  you  would  recommend  that  Bungalow   and  area  to  friends  or  relatives,  Do  you  drive  over  there, I  suppose  a  Car  is  very  handy   for  Day  trips  shopping  etc

Sorry I haven't been able to find this one to give a view on it or tell you what I know about it.

Cabo Roig is mostly flat but going down to some of the beaches there is a hill and the road has a gentle slope to the coast from Playa Golf 2. It is a very popular area for cyclists, especially a bit more inland to San MIguel de Salinas where there are some really scenic routes, also some of them...

... far more difficult!

Re noise everywhere you go in the summer months is busy and yes, some renters can be noisy but you can always get the community President to have a word with them and - if all else fails - the community is able to make the owner stop renting to problem tenants. Its the same the world over-some people are far more respectful of others.

Most communities are a boon for single people if you want company. You can be as involved or not as you wish. I spent a lot of time on a community whilst I found my feet in Spain but have now moved to a more secluded area inland. Moving can be expensive but I don't think I could have made the move from the UK directly to the area I am in now. You need a certain amount of handholding and pointing in the right direction at first.

I don't think anyone will be selling too quickly right now unless the actual EU members start coming along ready to buy. I will send you my friends contact info by PM and speak to her. I have purchased and sold personally  a few times with her and she does what she says and has a wealth of knowledge.

I would recommend that bungalow and area and I would also always have a car, bus services are there but not as reliable as you might wish and you wouldn't want to wait around in the heat of the summer, especially with shopping.

I would also pick the brains of as many people as you can - all knowledge helps make life easier, things can be done very differently here, but its all incredibly worth it. Good luck!

Hi Phil, ferries to Spain go from Rosslare on Wednesdays and Fridays. With current travel restrictions they may not be taking passengers at the moment. I know last year we were stuck in Spain from April until mid July because they were taking freight only. Their website is taking bookings, as I j...

Generally the estate agents will collect you from your hotel and ferry you around.

It's up to you to decide what properties they have to show you that suit your requirements. 

Yes our house is a 2 bed bungalow quad with a solarium and a fireplace in the living room. If you send me an email address I will send you some photos of our place to give you some ideas of a house in an urbanisation ...
