Does anyone know what the area of La Portilla in Cuevas Del Almanzora is like to live, we have seen a property that we are interested in and wondering what the area is like.

Thank you x

don't know that area specifically but Cuevas is an inland town with a mainly Spanish population it has all the necessary inferstructure

a water sports reservoir, a castle, a municipal swimming pool, a bus station and a football ground.  There is a cave house area nearby.

Hi we are in Los Lobos not far from La Portilla and less than 10 minutes from San Juan and its fabulous beaches bars, supermarkets etc.  La Portillo is mainly Spanish and close to Cuevas with its beautiful historic buildings, Town Hall and all amenities.  Los Lobos has a number of English people there and San Juan is also mixed with Spanish and Europeans and has English quizzes, a ladies group etc. It all depends in what you looking for. It is very easy to get everywhere fro. This area has good motorway and toll  connections.  Very easy to get to Vera, Turre,  Mojacar, Heurcal Overa, Albox etc.

Thank you for your reply, the thing that is concerning us is there is a motorbike track, we are wondering how often they race and how noisy it is when the races are on x

Not sure about that, but would suggest visiting the area in the evening as people are now outside later.  You can then check out the  noise levels,  if children play in the street and if people gather in groups as this is when it can get noisy.

My friend was born in Portilla. It is on the outskirts of Cuevas and is very small. There are often radar traps at the junction so be carefully with your speed.

The moto track your refer to is here https://www.google.com/maps/place/circuito+rincon+dd+la+bonil/@37.29053,-1.8694776,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOA9j6I4i9qNRH7vUrkjWSiFPxVIoD6S1SBxARY!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOA9j6I4i9qNRH7vUrkjWSiFPxVIoD6S1SBxARY%3Dw181-h86-k-no!7i4608!8i2184!4m5!3m4!1s0xd652ad636dc3abd:0x2a9f90fd09d5ac98!8m2!3d37.29053!4d-1.8694776

You can see the photos.

Regarding Cuevas, it is an agricultural town hosting many migrant workers from South America who work in the fields.

The location of Cuevas is well placed for easy access to motorways and beaches being 20 minutes or so by car.

Good luck with your purchase and I hope you will be happy.

Ian
