Seeking best place to live - Page 3

Hi Anita,

I have a villa in Playa Flamenca and since the Boulevard was built it certainly isn’t quiet in the winter.  The Max Gym is local as are the Bank, Town Hall and Post office.  The promenade is beautiful and a lovely scenic walk.

Hi Alice 

Thank you for your response I'm still drawn to that area for some reason even though I have never Been , I'm advised to rent first and spend some time looking but I'm on a tight budget so unless I can get something that's not going to swallow up my buying money I might be OK but I'm hoping to pay a visit not too far I hope from there In  April , but I will be on my own and it's all a bit confusing I think had brexit not happened it would have been less so but any information and advice is greatly appreciated

Thank you goldrina for reply there is so much to do and so much to get a grasp of I'm  just spinning  but that site you mention what do I put in on Google I think I will find out the spanish C. A. B but I bet they are inundated with queries. But all advice and information is greatly appreciated

Hi Wilbur thanks for your response I feel I'm going to have to try to do that it's just the cost at the moment to get a few visits and not to incur too much expense  plus annual leave as I work in mental health. But I just need to understand more and try not to stress too much about the December changes but any information I always appreciate

Hi Anita as everyone has said, the best option would be to explore the different areas and stay in different places to get the vibes of each area. I have a place in Villamartin (pau8) which is a ten minute walk to the plaza and a cab ride to the beach. Other areas I think you might like are la Zenia, Cabo Roig, los dolses, which are all within walking distances of commercial centres and in the case of la Zenia the largest shopping centre in the region( la Zenia Boulevard).all of these places are more or less all year round busy. Happy hunting and good luck 

Hi rusty thank you so much for your response I appreciate it I've never seen any of those places I am going to come over in a few weeks just to find out a bit more but it is stressing me out because I will be on my own and not knowing where to begin

Hi Anita

Playa Flamenca beach side goes quiet but not towards the Boulevard and heading out walking past the Boulevard you have areas of La Zenia which are fairly ex pat places and mixture of cultures so lots to do. You can then drop into the Cabo Roig strip. It is heaving in summer but still stuff going on in Winter. There is the coastal bus that goes to all points from Guardamar all along past Pilar de La Horradada so Torrivieja Punta Prima Playa Flamenca Cabo Roig etc.

Plus there are lots of clubs to join if you wish. You wi be wishing you had time for everything when you arrive.

WhatsApp wasn't working but there really is a lot of social activities to get involved in and meetup.com have different social stuff and Facebook social groups. Social or sport stuff.

Thank you for your response I appreciate your help and I will be coming over in April just to look around at some areas I don't drive so not sure how to get to these places and how close they are but any information is  greatly appreciated
