Will admins please take this post down - it's from November 2019. Thank you.
There have been people having helpful conversations on here this week so I don’t know what your problem is really. You are not the OP so why are you bothered 😎😂

...g at some questions on this site it does seem very complicated, and I am wondering if renting would be a safer option. the problem is getting to wherever I hire from the airport. not travelled much in the past so am a bit unsure.i would like to be within walking distance of proper shops and amenities, that's not a 10k hike away! need advice on the best area to be looking from someone not trying to sell me a propery they want to get rid of.
Hi
Playa Flamenca has all the shops, bars, restaurants and beach all near, so you wouldn't need transport. If you did, there are buses into Torrevieja and you can connect to other places there. There is also La Zenia Boulevard in walking distance. A lot of British live there so you can make friends easily. You should rent first to see if you like the area.

Check out all the requirements for getting the non-lucrative visa before you commit to anything.
To live in Spain permanently you will need to apply for a visa from the Spanish consulate in the UK. You will need to prove that you have the required income and full healthcare.
You can't just move to Spain and apply for residency without some sort of visa.

Hi, not been on this post for. a while. Did you move ? Where did you go, are you still in Spain ? 😊
I would suggest you rent first a long term rent for a two bed one bath fully furnished is around 600/650 depending on the area
Take a look at the property to rent section of this forum there are one or two which match your criteria like being so close to shops etc
Then while renting you have ample opportunities to visit the various areas and view available villas for sale
This way you are not rushed to buy something just to get it over with you can pick and choose where to buy and what to buy
Good luck
