Long term let wanted in Alhaurin de la Torre

[.JD]

Hello,

I am moving to Spain with my wife and four children and have been told Alhaurin de la Torre is one of the best places to live?

We are looking for a 4 or 5 bedroom villa with a pool in walking distance of the town, ideally on an 11 month contract.

I realise it's holiday letting season as we are staying in a holiday let in Alhaurin el Grande at the moment. We need to find a property before the end of August so any help would be appreciated!

John

PS: We lived in Spain 7 years ago so we are familiar with the rental process.

Have you tried these Alhaurin de la Torre property and real estate Spain or Property Directors | Contact Us / Estate Agents in Alhaurin de la Torre / Inmobilaria

Both are friends of mine and should be able to help???

Hi Jo,

Yes I found their details on this forum, I emailed both but only Carmen replied, meeting her tomorrow to look at a few.

Haven't you've lived in alhaurin de la torre? If so, was it a good place to live?

I have two boys aged 14 & 12 and two girls aged 4 & 3.5 months. We use to live just outside Estacion at the foot of the mountians but it was quite isolated, you needed a car to get anywhere. It was not much of a problem then as we only had the boys and they where quite young so kept themselves busy on the land. As they are now a lot older, they would feel totally isolated in a similar situation - hence the walking distance from town.

We visited Malaga Instatuite of Technology (international school) yesterday, I was very impressed, we're hoping to send them there. Do you know of the school? What type of reputation does it have?

Sorry for all the questions Jo, only I've read quite a lot of your posts over the past few days and you appear to have a very good insight into most things Spain.

MIT is a great school from what I've heard. I have several friends whose children went there from Sunlands (Catama Estacion!!), as that school went thru some changes a few years back!!!!! I wish I'd sent mine to MIT, but at the time we had to go with the IGCSEs mine were taking so we ended up in Benalmadena. But we looked around MIT and have since heard really good things

We lived in AdlT for the first couple of years in Spain and loved it, very clean, modern and friendly, mainly Spanish and mainly (at the time, I dont know now) affluent, lots of amenities, gym, healthcentre, parks etc. Close enough to the costas, close enough to the campos, close enough to the airport and IMO, the perfect amount of "nice"expats!!!!!

Carmen is lovely, tell her I said hi and tell her that I suggest she introduces you to "Maria" - she has three boys who go to MIT !!!!.............. oooohhh, I'm getting jealous lol!!!!!

Hi I have lived in Adlt for the last 8 years and love it. Its still quite affluent but you can see the crisis is beginning to hit some of the little shops are now starting to close although new one are still opening so the people are still trying to make a living. Its a great mix of mainly Spanish with a mixed expat community The Spanish are friendly and try to help where they can not much English spoken but plenty of sign language if needed lol. All in all a great place to live at least we think so !!

Hello,

We've been to see a few properties this am with Carmen but unfortunately none in ALDT. Looks like finding a 4 bedroom villa with a pool in walking distance from the town is going to be a challange.

We did see a nice house in Las Delicias it's surrounded by houses but I'm worried it's a bit remote, plus I noticed almost all houses have CCTV and alarms. Is anyone familiar with this area? If so, what's it like in comparison?

Thanks!
