Moving to almeria

Yes of course, otherwise we wouldn't be on this forum. It's a lovely area, far less developed than say the Costa del Sol but with a great quality of life, fantastic scenery, lots to do and at least, where we are, a great community.

Thank you very much 

I wanna be around 10 miles maximum from beach.  Can u recommend areas for me please 

Thank you 

We are in Huerta Nueva, Los Gallardos, which is about 10KM/12 minutes from Mojacar Playa. A really nice community. Worth investigating.

I’m in Valle del Este, around 7km from the beach(es) at Vera Playa / Garrucha.

There’s plenty of areas around that are within the distance to the beach you specify - it all really depends on what you wish to surround yourself with - do you want to be in a very touristy area? a very English expat area? somewhere lively and busy in summer? or do you prefer a much more Spanish environment?  What your preference for locale is will very much determine the area you look to settle.

Thank you for your reply 

I’m thinking not to touristy 

Maybe a mix expats, Spanish 

With a few bars restaurants

Ive just looked at flights I’m thinking February March time 

What area would u suggest 

Thank you 

Not too touristy - avoid Mojácar Playa (and to a lesser extent Mojácar) - in the summer that’s tourist central.

Nice mix, not too touristy, plenty of bars - I’d say Vera Playa, which is right on the beach.  Still gets busy in summer, but not insanely busy.

Valle del Este where I am is nice and tranquil, gets busy in Summer, but not a lot of bars.  There’s an English sports bar and a couple of restaurants (one Spanish, one Thai) in the centro comercial, but a mere 7 minutes drive to the beaches at Garrucha / Vera Playa or the same 7 minutes drive to Vera.  I can see the sea from my front window though.

Vera is nice - I love the Pueblo, others won’t - not many expats, it’s a very very Spanish town but again, not too far from the beaches.

Garrucha is also good - plenty of bars, right on the beach but again mainly Spanish

There’s certainly a couple of families in the Urbanización that I’m in - I see them taking the kids off to school in the morning.  That’s just the one Urbanización, there’s quite a few others here; but I can’t comment on their occupancy because I simply don’t know.

Aguadulce the best between requetas and Almiria on the coast I moved here 7 years ago local people very nice and helpfull lots to do.
