1. The fact that you're leaving Málaga to live fulltime in Costa Almeria changes things and my advice for you now is to buy.

2. Property is generally cheaper than CdS so you will have some liquidity.

3. Mojacar Pueblo is beautiful, but the hills!!!!!

4. Wherever you buy obviously you'll be in situ and able to pick up rentals for whenever your new home is available and likely you'll do the cleans etc.Property in Mojacar Playa between Parque Commercial and Hotel Indalo is the busier area and sought by potential renters.

5. Get CdS out of your head; Costa Almería operates differently in many ways.  You won't get anybody on here pining that somebody has a plastic advertising sigh outside of his premises - I won't mention the poster gobshites going into meltdown over some new chipper in Nerja.

Thanks Matthew, I’ll make a note of the area near the beach to look at to buy for a holiday rental, property prices have gone up so much in CDS so I do think it’s a good time to buy in Almeria. Did I read somewhere that they’re maybe plans for the Ave train to run through there? 
thanks for all the feedback

2030 might be a good time to expect the high speed train service, but from where? really - when?

Real estate agents have been promising this "imminent" service since 2004 - see previous threads on here on this subject. And it's "where from" is the most important bit.

going well with the construction of the railway station near the petrol station on the road to vera though, maybe a community centre for the oldies until the track get put down for a train lol.

I suspect most here never studied Samuel Beckett - Irish writer, natch! He wrote a play titled “Waiting for Godot” - Godot never appears on the stage ( although he’s the central character). To date, the high speed rail link is the same, all talk and no presence. Let’s give it another seven years and perhaps then we’ll know where it’s coming from. But, don’t hold your breath.
