Hi, start by getting a map of southern spain, go north from Almeria, one of the airports that serve this area, you can go south to Malaga etc, or come north through Carboneras, Mojacar, Garucha, Villaricos, San Juan de las Terreras, theres Turre which is a bit inland from Mojacar which is proving...

... popular.
We chose a small village 45 minutes from the coast called Urcal, close by the major town of Huercal Overa with a hospital with a great reputation, our village has a school, doctors surgery, local bar, small supermarket stocking most of what anyone would need.
The bar and village have both been featured recently on A Place in the Sun, several couples moved into the area inside a couple of months last year and theres a great community feeling with everyone getting together and helping each other. Darts nite Thursday gets busy in summer.
What age are you both ?, we're both pensionistas lol, partners villa has a pool, most other neighbours have either plunge pools, hot tubs or something in between.
Albox and Arboleas might come up in some responses, Albox being the bigger of the two, Arboleas as an area is pretty big and some small communities can be a bit remote. Lots of properties over in Arboleas will be advertised as having pools, the average size being 8metres by 4 metres with some going up to 10x5.
Roads are first class, motovia as ir's known runs from down south to oop north, Alicante and Benidorm north.
Vera is a popular area with lots of apartments and villas most with either private or shared pools.
Some areas have bus services some not but coach services are plentiful, trains dont figure much on the map but you can get to lots of major cities from Lorca,
Any other more specific questions you might have just keep posting.
Major property agents for our area are Vosses, Mojacar have the couple recently on Channel 4 of Sun Sea and Selling houses.
You might find your ideal property just by simply googling an area. Rightmove comes to mind, Coles of Andalucia, Almeria property finder to name 3 more. There are two free weekly papers and a free monthly magazine, all three publications full of good information.
We were out in July and bought a 3 bed villa in Los Gallardos, we used Simon at Coles of Andalucia located in Turre. We had a list of places and villas we wanted to view but after discussion with Simon we crossed quite a few off the list as we wanted to be within walking distance of a few bars,restaurants and a short drive to other towns and the beach.
Would recommend Coles.
