Hi still doing research on potential places to rent and wondered if anyone lives in or nearby these 2 regions and can give me a heads up on town's that would be good to rent in we are looking for places that have good public transport links and bars and shops within walking distance and reasonable prices for monthly renting.

not bothered about schools as our kids are grown up but would like to try and get a balance between somewhere where we can go and have a good night out and chill during the day

cheers

Best advice anyone can give you, is that you need to go and see what you like.

Saying that, many people seem to like Torrox, Torre, Nerja and Almunecar

Most of the costas and tourist resorts have all the things you want and more. But as Dave says, you should come over and take a look.

"Owdoggy" one of the forum members has moved to that region recently and he seems very happy!!! Have a look at his posts or see if he gives his verdict when he's next on

Somebody call?

Don't know much about the Costas but here (near Arboleas) we think it's brilliant ( if a little too brit expaty at times ) but unfortunately it doesn't have many of the things you're after (we have a bar within walking distance tho' ......most important

) so sorry, can't help you much I'm afraid.
Best advice I can give is get yersels over here & see as many places as you can and, most importantly, talk to people!! A good chinwag is worth hours in front of a screen

Best of luck to you

hhhmmm, you say that Sue, but I had the "pleasure"... yes, the pleasure(!!) of speaking to Xtreme on the phone last night and what a poppet!! Not a bit like the grumpy tart he makes out to be!!!! Apart from the very stron welsh accent he was really sweet, nice and very funny.... If I didnt think it would go to his headI'd say he had a sexy voice!!!!... not as sexy as Steves, but not far off LOL:
