Well from the other forum I know you mean the urb ..... it does have a large ex pat population there for sure, if thats what you want

Quite well developed and convenient for all facilities and in general is what many would call an urban area with lots of expats
Most seem to enjoy their life as there is lots to do and nice beaches [ possibly the best in Spain at Guardamar]
Close to Alicante airport where there are always lots of relatively cheap flights
Anything good is not cheap but you will get a reasonable apartment form circa 100.000 € and a very nice 3 bed quad from circa 195.500 €
Go inland a little and you get them a bit cheaper
Difficult to get a real impression from web searches and if you are serious about buying...why not go and see
Subject to the above comments being appealing, I do not think you will be disapointed...many happy people live there

Hi, thanks for your comments, i do plan on going there and having a look as well as looking at other areas, but i have found quite a few people to be negative on the area, Donna x
