Well - thank you everyone for your comments, this has been brilliant. And at times you have caused me to laugh my socks off thank you!!!

I have made a note of all areas and contacted some agents. I am planning on coming over in January, just need to sort a partial mortgage now from the UK which sounds like fun!!

Thanks again

Thank you so much for everyone’s comments this is very helpful. I have been sent places from an estate agent today in an area called San Juan de los Terreros but I have no idea of the area! Your comments are really helpful, I was in Mojácar but many years ago before the brits moved in so it’s good to understand it has changed and prices have rocketed. To be honest whilst I don’t want to be in a Spanish only town, it’s good to have a mix of both worlds. We were in Roquetas De Mar in June this year and it was just lovely but was that because it’s out of season I don’t know. I would hate to spend my hard earned money on a villa, then to walk to local amenities to see it’s no better than Benidorm with lads abroad!

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone can advise

i am looking to purchase a villa within an hour of Almeria Airport, but within walking distance to local village for restaurants/ tapas bars etc but I don’t want to be near a ‘brits abroad’ village! I know it sounds awful but I want my villa to be my haven, where I can drop my case and walk down to tapas bars and relax!

can anyone make any recommendations on areas please

 

thank you!!
