Hi folks
We have visited Mojacar previously and made several day trips to Vera Playa. We are returning to Garucha this year for two weeks and hope to but a property in the area in the coming year. Would love to get chatting with residents or visitors to the Vera Playa area. Contact us here.
Hasta Luego.

Hi
When are you here,? we've known this area Mojacar/Vera Playa for the last 5 years and lived here for the last year.
Good mix of people, we even have the new irish bar in mojacar for that little piece of home, maybe we could meet up for a drink or pop to one of the local Spanish beach bars, which all do great food
If you'd like any advice I'll try and help

Best part of Spain and also the area most likley to have the best property growth- new motorway now open so Mercia airport is only 45 mins and the new AVE [ High Speed Train] will stop at Vera Playa en route from Mercia to Almeria
With improved access comes economic growth followed by increase in property values
But most of us do not buy just for the property growth!...the life stye here is just great
Best weather, great views ,lots of fresh produce from the markets every day of the week in different Towns
Fresh fish and good wine
The best beach is probably San Juan de los Terreros [ in the sea there last Sunday!] although Mojacar Playa has some good ones and if you want to be nude go to Vera Playa where a part of the beach is reserved for you!!.....then there is Cabo de Gata
I accept to being biased as I have bought here......last week just outside Huercal Overa we had 4 good sized Tapas, lots of bread and 2 San Miguel all for 6 € for the two of us -and they did a lunch at 9 €- 3 choices for every course, fee bottle of wine and water plus coffee!!!

Hi
Does anybody know when they will be announcing the route of the AVE high speed rail line? Do you think they will wait until after the elections or just get on with the job.
I have been to Vera town hall and Turre town hall, but they tell me nothing. I've heard rumors that the station will be next door to Vera Hotel, then run to Turre then tunnel through the Cabreras and turn right, then either under or other the motorway towards sorbas and then generally run alongside the motorway until it gets to Almeria. If the planners had any sense they would tie the railway in with the airport at Almeria and the new airport in Corvera (how green would that be - they keep telling us to reduce our carbon foot print!). I have lived in Switzerland where they have an excellent public transport system which is integrated with airports, trains and buses and believe me it does work. I had no use for a car there.
I have also lived in the area of Kent where they have a new international station opening called Ebbsfleet. It opens in November 2007 and will take around 18 mins approx into London St Pancras on eurostar. However I remember the protests way back in 1987 when the UK gov were compulsory purchasing properties in my village. So it's taken 20 years for the dream to become a reality. I just hope the Spanish government are better than the British government on that score. It will be a real boost to the area but hopefully not ruin our great area but benefit it.
By the way where is that great sounding Tapas bar you mentioned? Great value, I must come and try it. I've been thinking of writing a book on restaurant and tapas bars, but maybe it's an excuse to eat until their's no room left and get slightly tipsy!

Huercal Overa Tennis Club for the cheap lunch!
I undestand that the AVE route ia about to be approved and that it will run from Mercia via Pulpi and then stop at Vera Playa from there I am not too sure but ot may follow the motorway route to Almeria

Silly question can you play tennis there? I'll take my racquet.
Do you have any links on the proposed route? I didn't realise it's going through Pulpi
