Make sure they're TRUE 365day sites. Some say "All Year" then shut the office for a Month so the owner gets a break. This from Spanish friends who have a CABIN on one.

We purchased a holiday home at Malaga Monte Park and we have no problems the site is peaceful and the people are all very friendly. We purchased our mobile from Spain Park Homes that was my problem as he has ignored his responsibity for the guarrantee, leaving Monte Park to sort any minor defects. So be warned only buy through the site office or salesman Ray. Come and enjoy life like we do.

One of the best Mobile home sites in Spain

Hello Poppy,

I live on a prodominantly British site where the mobile homes are owned by young at heart senior citizens.

We have everything we want including: restaurant/bar dance hall/ swimming pool/ 2 bowling greens/ shop/ internet connection/ and lots of fun in the sun.

This is a beautiful part where you would be wise to learn some of the language because once we leave the site, we are in the proper Spain.

The site fees are very reasonable and the British owners will do everything in their power to make their residents happy.

I noticed a picture of a dog as your icon and would advise that no dogs are allowed here. This assures peace at night for everyone.

Hello,

Thankyou.

Hi
I am a mobile home owner on Malaga Monte Parc, and have seen it grow for the past 18 months.It is a small site (which I prefer) and recently The Hub (its small bar/restaurant) opened and has social evenings every friday. It supermarket is superbly stocked with lots of british food and is reasonably priced. Also there is a spanish venta next door that does a menu del dia for 6 euros. Great food. Near to Malaga Monte Parc is the Lauro golf that also offering bowls Nearby are the towns of Alhaurin el Grande (very british) and Alhaurin De La Torre (very spanish), so you can take your choice. What I like about Malaga Monte Parc is that it is so near to the airport. If I need transport there, the office will arrange it. The internet in the beginning was a bit hit and miss, but we have no problems now, and calls using skype to britain are free. It is very british, but also has spanish, portuguese, and scandanavian travellers using the touring side. There is the prison, but this is not near to Malaga Monte Parc. Hope this helps

Thanks for the info Sweetie, so how many mobile homes are on the site?

Do you find the cost of living - elec. gas bottles, etc. and food to cost more than the UK?

We will be retiring on a state pension with some savings but were hoping not to have to supplement our pensions too much for basics. Obviously we will probably need a car but apart from this what do things like internet, sky tv etc. tend to cost?

I have contacted the Malaga Mont Parc office about available mobile homes for sale but have received no response.

Do you happen to know if there are any for sale at the moment and how large are the plots?

We too want to be close to the airport, hence our interest in this park which we are visiting mid October.

Any info you think might be helpful would be appreciated.

Thanks.

We have had a couple near us that have been shut down as they were deemed to now be illegal. There is howevere another one called Caravaning La Manga which has vbeen going for years and still contuinues to grow. Prices on the caravan sites like prices on houses etc have also fallen quite a bit so haggle and hunt for the one you want

Hi,most inportant is were to live,choose area,then site ,spend as much time as you can there before buying,ask lots of questions take notes,take photos as much detail as you can.if possible rent on site ,check webb site .all details true and correct.once you have purchased handed money over things and owners can change...its harder to get out than in..small sites are not always the best,often less facilities ..have all paperwork checked,don't just go on trust..its much harder to sell than buy...ask lots of questions nothing on trust.....get as much as you can in writing...it can be good if you get it right...good luck

Hi J and J. Can you explain one of your previous posts about "trouble, trouble, trouble"? I mean, is it just that the lifestyle does not suit you, as you say you crave more activity? Thanks...Maddie

I live near this caravan park and it has to be said that locally it used to have a bad reputation for drunken brawls, fights and general rowdiness. That said. I believe it was taken over by a lovely Welsh lady a while ago who apparently has turned it around and it no longer has the reputation. Was the previous reputation deserved anyway???? Well it only takes a couple of occasions for things to be blown up out of all proportion?????

But if I were to look at this place with a serious view to living there, I would go there for several unannounced visits, especially as late as possible on a Friday/Saturday night and see for myself before committing.

I live on a residential park not far from the famous Flamingo Lakes, inland, beautiful mountain views, great walks, typical spanish village nearby, lived here for 6 years since the park opened, this park accepts pets. I pay 312 euros per month, my plot is 200 sq m. We have a swimming pool and a pool bar, a gym and two bowling greens. PM me if you want more details or directions to look around the area. There are 4 more parks nearby.

Like Xabiachica said, you need to know where in Spain you want to be. On the other hand it may be more expensive to transport your static caravan to Spain than to buy something already sited here. Saying that, PLEASE be very careful of any site here. Make sure that they have full permissions to have statics. As someone who has had connections with static sites, I would tell anyone to check with a lawyer and the local town halls to make sure that any sites are legal before either buying or siting your own caravan. Many sites opened when the property market was doing well and tried to get on the action on the back of that but many of these sites are illegally operating and could be closed sometime in the future.

Please be careful whatever you decide to do.

we have one in my town - I have several friends who live there - we're halfway between Alicante & Valencia airports

I don't know if you can bring your own van or if you have to buy one already onsite though

you can contact them here Camping Bungalows El Naranjal | Javea, Alicante. Playa, costa |


will you be retiring here?
