Is quesada worth a look?

Good luck in your search.  😊

Quesada has its own forum so I’m sure it’s a very popular area with expats.

There is great general advice on Costablancaforum regarding every aspect of living in Spain.  Read JIMSGUIDES.

Make sure to have your own independent abogado before you sign anything 😃

 Quesada is within easy reach of some traditional Spanish towns and is a smaller version of the Villamartin, La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Punta Prima, La Florida and Cabo Roig areas which all run into each other. It is closer to the airport but if you will always be relying on public transport Quesada is not the answer. The N332 is the main thoroughfare with many facilities on or just off it and due to the bigger population is where you will find most bus routes.

Hi Willie, and welcome to the Forum.

I read from your post you are asking how to reach Ciudad Quesada from La Zenia in order to meet your estate agent there for viewings.

A taxi would be the  most convenient method, but if you are looking for a route by bus there may well be one if you pick up from Torrevieja. 

If you wish to pick up from La Zenia itself then you could ring Rosa Tours who are based in Ciudad Quesada and book the daily coach trip from La Zenia ( near consum / Paddys point area) to Benidorm. If they are in agreeance,you could get off at Ciudad Quesada arch when the coach stops to pick up  ,spend the day viewing and looking around the area and catch the same bus on it's way back from Benidorm to La Zenia as it stops to let people off at the Arch. Cost for round trip to Benidorm is 10 euros and that means your round trip would be the same price.

Worth ringing them and asking.

LeckyLes.

Why is the Estate Agent not picking you up? Are you ready to purchase or just doing trips to look around.

Contact www.spanishpropertyteam.com as they can take you to Ciudad Quesada and areas within like Dona Pepa. Benijofar is close by and very Spanish. Benimar is close to Quesada and the good thing about the area is that it is not as quiet in the winter as most.

If you are ready to buy the Agents should be helping you more.

Hello Willie

We live in Ciudad Quesada near to the Marquesa Golf Course and love living here.  The town of Rojales is a lovely Spanish town - we can walk there.  Beniofar and Benimar are also nearby.  All 3  have some English Bars and Restaurants but there are  many wonderful Spanish Restaurants.  We have never been to Quesada Fish and Chips!  Quesada is  mainly English Speaking - our neighbours are Dutch, German and Norwegian  - they all speak English and we have a spanish  couple - who speak very little English.  

My husband and I are trying to learn Spanish but unless you are fluent - it is impossible to hold a full conversation.  I enjoy chatting to the neighbours and would not be able to do this if I was surrounded solely by  Spanish people. 

A lot of people knock Quesada - but there are many beautiful properties here, some lovely views and lots to do.  We all have our own reasons for choosing a particular area and what suits some does not suit others.  Quesada does not close down in the Winter. There are many full time residents here as well as  second home owners who  come here to escape the colder weather in their own countries and all  can enjoy a very full social life as there is always lots going on. As other members have already said - public transport is  non existent - but there are urbanisations which are near to supermarkets, restaurants and bars.

It is certainly worth taking a  look at the area and you can make up your own mind.

Quesada is a great place and not just full of Brits but every nationality is in the area and it is actually less than 10 minutes to the sea,  It has one of the best fereterias around and most shops you could want, It comes under Rojales and is not far from Benijofar and even in the middle of August access to all areas is easy well worth a look.
