The best advice you will get is to rent for a year before you buy to make sure you like the area and can adapt to Spanish life.

Now is a difficult time even to think about it. As mentioned better renting for a year or so before purchasing. I rented for several years before making the big move of purchasing.

Hi We have a place in Bosque De Las Lomas gate 8, We love everything about it. the community is very well run, neighbours are friendly helpful, just a few minute walk to about 12 bars restaurants, Euronics are so helpful, small shop that sell almost everything you could need for your home.

I honestly don't know I if you look up casa Manuel  website you would know 

I am looking on Google maps to locate it 

I think it is at the bottom of complex I am concerned it's near what looks like building site could I ask you to let me know 

Cheers

Sounds like it’s at the bottom of our urbanisation is it a two bed, there is 3 blocks of apartments being built on the corner. In the house info does it say there are 4 swimming pools

The best advice l can give you is to go with an open mind. We bought a holiday home a couple of years ago. Initially looking on maps and paper the area we bought (Punta Prima) was about our 5th choice of location but having an estate agent show us different areas and styles of properties found the ideal apartment and location for us. Be open and enjoy taking your time to look at the surrounding areas too so you get a good feel for the location and ameneties 

Good luck in your search

Yes think I found it, 3 bed painted yellow with a pinky colour round door windows, it’s round to the side away from building site. Lovely size house
