Where to buy a holiday apartment in Mojacar?
Hi, I am new to this forum, but hope someone can advise on buying a holiday apartment in Mojacar. We have never visited the area but are looking to come out for two weeks in September to get a feel for the place and hopefully take the first steps in owning an apartment. From what I have read and seen on the internet, Mojacar looks lovely, with no high rise buildings and not too commercialised and with a good climate etc. I have a few questions and concerns though as we have never done anything like this before. First of all, I notice that Mojacar Playa covers quite a wide area and I am not at all sure where best to start looking. We have seen quite a few very nice looking apartments above the Marina Torre golf course, but is this too far away to walk to the restaurants/ bars/shops etc? Is there a preferred area of Mojacar in most peoples eyes? I have read about the buying process and I think I understand how this works, but if anyone can give me any of their experiences (good & bad!) about purchasing that would be very much appreciated.
In the short term we are looking to come out for many short breaks throughout the year, but once retired, we want to live there over the winter months. Is there plenty of shops, restaurants etc still open off season?
Finally, I keep reading that I need a good estate agent and Independent Lawyer. If anyone can make a recommendation on this I would appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
Gary
