Albox doesn't get good reviews for good reasons. I don't want to get involved in the amount of alleged illegal builds in the area. But, if you are considering buying property in that general area you'll need to employ a gestor (solicitor) not an abogado (conveyancing agent).
Where you will enjoy living in Spain is personal to you and only you. You could have the most expensive property in another area, but your new next door neighbour could be a nightmare to have alongside. We had a thread on this forum where a lady was concerned about the amount of feral cats nearby; she has a cat phobia (not too uncommon). A poster here (feral cat feeder but refuses to clean up after the cats) informed her that she should stay in the UK.
I would advise before you buy anything in Albox (the price of property there won't mushroom overnight) you should live there for no less than five weeks in the off season (Nov-Mar). You'll learn much in that period.
Best of Luck.
