Want to rent in Spain but where?

Hi

We wanted exactly the same things as you when we moved to Spain 3 years ago. After much searching, we found Oliva. It is not a shiny tourist destination but there is really affordable housing in the town, close to good schools, shops and a 1km walk to wonderful beaches. It is a very traditional town with a samll expat community who on the whole, seeme to be well integrated. The locals are very friendly and welcoming and a couple of the schools are brilliant.

I have been pointed in the direction of Costa del Sol with Torox popping up a few times when I have searched for rentals, my friend said Almuñecar would suit us but it looks quite small place?

The most important thing for me is an internet connection or else I won't be able to go as I work from my computer using betting exchanges, I also need the Sky sports package and I believe it's not a problem with a larger dish.

My budget is around the 500 euros mark with hopefully some utilitys included or is that just being greedy

If anyone has any suggestions of an ideal location witch has broadband internet let me know please!

So What do think about andalucia. Places like Huelva(beach city) or a city like Sevilla that just put in a metro system and the beach is reachable by bus maybe an hour or a little more. If your interestwed i have connections.

I live in a small village in Inland Andalucia. There is a property to rent over the road from me for 225 euros a month. It has sky and you can get broadband in the village as we have it.
