It depends what you like: many people (expats) or more quiet place with mixed live (Spanisch and expats)

Do you look for mediterrenean sea climat or inland?

We (belgium) spent the last ' years in Alcossebre - it's a nice coastal town, 400 km south French border with a micro climat (prected by Sierra Maestrazo). The most unique is thqt maximum hight of buildings is just 4 levels --> you don't have here massive sellings and empty buildings.

I can recommend this "unknown" costal place.

Last week I drived from Motril to Almeria .... kilometers of green houses .... very nice, if you like it.

But I prefer some natural views.

Too much "commercial" feedback.

Costa Tropicana = costa plastico

Kilometers of plastics .... and yes, of course we have to eat vegatables...

Be aware for the vieuws in the region between Motril and Almeria

I live in Alcossebre - nice, quiet coastal Place
When I was in the region of Mazaron a few years ago I remember me a lot restaurants owned by foreigners (netherlands, Germany, Italy ...) and terraces, plenty of English people, drinking pints at 11 Am

I was in Aguillas a few weeks ago for the inauguration of the Lorca golfcourse. Aguillas is a dirty city ... The surroundings direction Lorca/murcia is like a desert .... Thousands of houses for sale ... This is also the area of the Polaris developments. Yes, you can buy there with -70%, but bad quality, crowded ... Who will live there? Just few who can't afford something else ... The complete region (mazaron!!) reminds me to TV series of the '70 "Coronation Street"
Bad investment and bad quality of life
