Hi all, We are new to your site. We have been thinking of moving to spain for years now ideally Costa Blanca or Costa Del Sol area. We want to rent a property to start with to weigh up areas so we are looking for some advice on where to find rental property. We also want to be in an area where there are some Brits with a good social life. I am ex-service (RN) only looking at part time work. Can anyone please help. We need to join you all in the Sun. Please suggest some ares to live. many thanks.

Well as I live here I always favour this area, the triangle between Gandia Oliva & Denia in the Northern Costa Blanca. Beautiful beaches, wonderful countryside, lots of national parks and Valencia only 40 minutes away

I guess we all favour our own areas, but there's lots of ex pat communities all over the country to choose from. We're near Malaga and the town up the road from us, Alhaurin El Grande is mostly British. You need to come over and have a look at a few and see what takes you fancy!!

Have a look at Almeria between Aguilas and Mojacar...some very nice parts and a touch inland an 2 bed apartment can be bought for 99.900 € and near Huercal Overa in a Spanish environment but still close to facilities then a 2 bed 2 bath villa on 400m2 plot will cost you circa 170.000 €
If you want a Resort with all facilities then at Condado de Alhama [ Polaris World] a 2 bed maisonette is 119.800 € with a large solarium
Buy off plan and rent nearby and watch it built!
