Hello,

I am looking to buy a farm house near Oria, the house has few neighbors and a big land. I will use it as a second home and I will spend 2, 3 months on my own as my partner has a full time job and cannot come with me more than 20 days a year,  while I would like to spend more time.
My que...

...stion is…how safe is this area? As I said it is not in the town, but a farm house 15 mins from Oria. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Also is the area quite multicultural or there are only Spanish people living there?

Many thanks 

Simona

Hi,

Sorry I can't fully help you with your question, I was looking at houses in a wide area, Albox, cantoria oria etc. The prices Oria attracted me, but I decided against, it's a beautiful area with stunning views, but the elevation put me off and the fact it snows in winter, so I don't know an awful...

... lot about the area, what I will say is that it's quiet and peaceful, the village has plenty amenities, but if your wanting a big supermarket youve a good half hour drive to Albox. I bought a house close to Almanzora in the valley, it's stunning and I love it, go with your head as well as your heart when making a purchase, I'm here now and it's beautiful for the time of year. Salud!

Although the village and outside areas are mainly Spanish people, there is a large amount of people from various countries.  You would soon learn which bars etc to go in, to meet people you can speak to.  It would be helpful if you had basic Spanish for the shops as there are none that ...

...speak English. It is very safe to live in Oria but as with everywhere you need to lock your doors when going out.  If you live in an area of very few people I would consider getting an alarm.  People around here when at home still leave their doors open.

All the best

Hi Simona

I also have a holiday home in Italy, beautiful country, it's in Tuscany close to San miniato. I came to Spain for the drier winters, hope you find your dream home, also look around Albox and arboleas more English speaking people in these areas.

It snows in the Almanzora valley quite often in the winter too!  

If you want to be in the countryside but with low probability of getting snow, look around Antas, Los Gallardos, Cuevas, Lubrin, Lucainena, Sorbas and Tabernas.
