Hiya, myself and my partner are looking at Carboneras as a place we like the look of for a 6 month rental. I can’t find any info on any expat community and wonder if it’s only tourism in that area? Can anyone give any sage advice about Carboneras as an area to live please? 
thanks, Louise

Hi, we visited Carboneras many times during our year stay in the area. Carboneras is very very quiet in the winter months but still has a couple of playa cafes/bars open. There is a proper Mercadona Supermarket and a typical Spanish seaside small town centre with an old castle and lovely gardens next to it. We met a 70-something English gent having coffee and tapas on the playa, he was renting, been there for 6 months and he was an artist, painting away peacefully, with a stroll and coffee/tapas for lunch. Carboneras is also a vast industrial area to the south of town with cement works and aggregate quarry works and processing plant there. And a marina, with large industrial Port next to the aggregate processing works. It has a fantastic beach as well. Carboneras has a very good main road linking the A7 Autovista about 25 km away. The coast roads in and out North & South are spectacular. There are many places available for rent. It IS remote though... Hope this helps..

Thanks so much, i figured it was pretty quiet in winter months. But maybe your comment 'very, very quiet' is more truthful! Lovely to visit, but possibly not for us to rent. Thanks again.
