Hi Stravinski,
After much prospecting we did confine our project "Moving to Spain" to the Costa Blanca. It does seam a good compromise if one considers price/quality – security – and some other factors. I am going to arrive with my wife in Benidorm September 1st. Our first idea about looking for a residence was Benidorm, which has many offers considering apartments. But I have some friends, which recommended Altea. AND…. I also did had a look (Internet-Google Earth & pictures) at Oliva! I did try to find apartments for rent at Pisos en alquiler en toda España - Enalquiler.com, but I couldn’t find anything. If you could get the names of some rental agents mentioned above. This would be of great help. The idea of walking every day to beach for exercise sounds great ☺

We are a family of three, with a four years old boy. We are looking for a three bedrooms place, either apartment or small house for rent. By the why, we are not planing to work in Spain.

Thank you in advance for any information!
