Hi everybody,

Are there any health food stores in the region of Murcia?

Also, do the big supermarkets come with a decent selection of organic food?

I am also wondering where you can find the biggest Carrefour/Mercadona in the area?

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for both your replies,  they were both very useful!

We are in the process of talking to a few people about the internet, so hopefully that is all good! We were hoping a bit more than 2 MB, luckily there might be such a thing.

Other than that we just realized that renting a car for the first couple of months until we get a car of our own is quite cheap during the low season, so that seems like a very reasonable option.

Thanks a lot for the info on the animals shelters as well!

Hope to stay in touch, and if we have more questions along the way, hope you don't mind if I'll 'bother' you a bit more until we actually move there:) It would also be lovely to meet!

Thanks again,

 

Irina

Hi! We are a couple from Sweden interested in moving (renting) to Condado in January 2011. We have a few questions about the place before we make up our minds, and we would really appreciate it if you guys could give us some answers/advice.

Basically, we run an on-line business, so the single most important feature for us is reliable good internet. The apartments we found to rent already come with sky tv, if this detail is relevant in any way. What are our options in this case? Can we really count on having a really good connection everyday?

Also, I'm very much interested in volunteering at an animal shelter, and from what I read there is one in Mazzaorron, one in Corvera, and a few others in Murcia and Los Alcazares. We aren't sure we will be able to have a car of our own for the first couple of months, and I was wondering if there is any other easy/cheap way of getting to any of these places? Otherwise, how much would you say a taxi would cost to the closest location out of these, or to the closest bus station that could take us to any of these places? Do we even stand a chance at all living in this place without a car? We were hoping to rent a car once a week or so to do our shopping, or rely on a taxi once in a while, but for everyday travelling are there any other options at all?

I'm curious about what an average elecrticity bill would be for a cold winter month?

Well, these are our biggest concerns for now.

Thank you very much for reading this, and any advice is very much appreciated!
