Alcossebre, Costa Azahar

Alcossebre is a small tourist town situated about 1 hour north of  Valencia & 3 hours south of Barcelona. It is relatively unknown to the English & popular with Spanish & French holiday makers. It has miles of lovely beaches & is surrounded by beautiful natural parks, which limit the size of the town. There are no high rises permitted in this area, & you only have to go a short way inland to be in the mountains, with spectacular coastal views. I moved to the area in August 2008 & wouldn´t hesitate to recommend it to anyone seeking the good life & 320 days of sunshine a year!

Hello SooW

It's so nice to see that another Brit has discovered the Costa Azahar area of Spain.  We (hubby and I) bought an apartment at the Club Panoramica Golf complex at Saint Jorge near Vinaros in October 2007.  We too loved  the natural beauty of the surrounding area.  The complex seems to be more of a second home/holiday home for Spanish residents of Valencia or Barcelona, so only two Brits live there permanently and only two others have holiday homes apart from us.  So I have been struggling to get help with what's available locally.  Our Spanish is only basic but we try hard!

We have yet to furnish our apartment and I am struggling to find furniture shops in the area.  Can you recommend any?  We are visiting in late September and I would like to try and arrange at least a fridge and maybe a bed before we arrive.  We have a lady who is nearby who has keys and could accept delivery.

Can you also recommend any restuarants etc we can explore on our trip.  We are only over for a week unfortunately......   

Kind Regards
Jo Ludlow
