Hello everyone
I am looking at areas to buy a house and have read on your forum that areas around Huercal Overa,Urcal, was mentioned,has some pig farms,resulting in smells and flies.I lived in Suffolk sometime ago and it was a problem particularly in the warm weather.Can you please advise me,I should be most grateful.

There's no denying the pig farms are around. There are flies throughout the area anyway, I'm not sure how much worse they might be in pig farm central. The smells come and go, you can become accustomed but I would say if I were to buy property in the future I would not want to buy right next to a pig farm.
Here as opposed to the UK the animals are always indoors, which helps some.
If you are traveling around the area the pig farms are easy to spot if you know what to look for....long low buildings with tall round feed silos at the ends.
Thank you so much for your kind reply.

Buy in Arboleas, pig farms (garanjas) are not allowed.
Not many around Taberno either...

Sorry to jump on someone else's thread, but I have been advised against looking in Arboleas because of the pig farms and flies. I was really gutted as this was the area we had set our heart on. You get so may conflicting stories it's hard to know what to think, but if what you are saying is true then I am thrilled - I can go back to looking in my favourite area. Thank you !
