Looking for a holiday home. Just wondering why there is so much for sale in the moorish development. I have seen that properties in the area can be very cold outside of sunshine hours in winter months despite the agents saying min 20 degrees all year round. Perhaps solar panels would offset the h...

Thank you Susi. We currently have to drive to get to the places you mention and don’t see this as a problem although I get what you are saying about age. I am 71 next month and agile at the moment and do Pilates but things can change quite quickly. I am concerned about where the moorish propert...

...ies are and the condition of the roads but also like the way they are nearer to the coast and airport than the places that my husband is favouring ie. Arboleas and Cantoria.  I see how the taxi fares to and from airport are very expensive and have been told that a lot of people fly in and out of Murcia and store their cars with Segura there until they return, in which case we would be buying a car to leave in Spain. This is quite a bit further and concerned about family and friends coming over perhaps when we aren’t there and could they get their own insurance to cover them. I have heard they can get a policy in UK and not to buy the ones that the car hire providers offer at the airpo. Lots of questions I know but want to get it right before taking the leap. I have looked at properties in Murcia but Andalusia looks so much prettier and not commercialised.
