We rented in Santa Maria de Nieva and realised it wasn't for us but there is a substantial British community there and in Urcal and they seem happy there. There are no English bars in Huercal-Overa centre but there is one in Santa Maria and another in Urcal.

The Huercal-Overa Chatter group on Facebook is a great source of information or if you need advice. Voss Homes are the main property company but there are others such as the Garners from C4 and many more
