Maybe wait until you get there and then ask one of your neighbours.  I am sure that someone will be happy to help.  It is possible to walk to mojacar from there.  The scenery is stunning.  You will make lots of lovely memories.  Enjoy planning your time in your new home.&...

...nbsp; You will love it.

Thank you x

You will have a great time.  It looks a lovely site.  We spoke to someone who worked there and he was really pleasant and helpful.  fingers crossed that everything will open back up again soon.

Carol.  You mistake concern for “negativity”.  It is only because people that live here have seen your situation many many many times before and it more frequently than it should does not end as happily for the buyer as it otherwise might.

Buying property in Spain can be a minefield with many pitfalls for the unwary and many more for those who have not only bought the place without physically visiting, but also do not know the area.  Videos and pictures can be misleading - especially if your heart is set on a place, then all they will do is serve to melt your heart more!

This is NOT to say that every purchase made without physically visiting the property or knowing the area will end in tears - of course it won’t and I am certain you WILL have a wonderful time here - but don’t look upon the “negativity” you perceive here as trying to crush your dreams - it’s meant by people who have experience to throw a cold bucket of reality over the situation, so that you arrive with your eyes open.

As I said in my previous response - I am sure it will be fine, but my advice stands - get someone you trust not connected with the estate agents to physically visit the property, make a list of any small things that may need attention and if possible take photographs to send you.

Hi and thanks for you response. The quote I was talking about was some quoting Can’t believe you did that ! I only asked for advice but instead I has Alicia say the above quote . I do appreciate everyone’s advice . And like you say not everyone will agree but I have had a lot of positive feedback about site and area . Abs as you said I won’t be doing a weekly shop unless it’s for wine x

If its the one i remember technically it is Mojacar but nearer to Macenas beach.   Macenas has a golf course too i think,. But i hasten to add it is a few years since i was up there.  Not far from Agua en Media where the Anglican church is. Good luck anyway.

i don't think the golf course has ever been active yet.  i am sorry that you where upset by my remark Carol23, it's just that we know people who have done exactly as you have and they have not found what they expected when they got here.  I truly hope that the place you have bought is what you want and that when you can get here you spend many a happy day there.   As the others say though it is quite a way out from Mojacar and Carbonaras as the two places for main food shopping.  I believe there are a couple of nearby bars and possibly a shop on site, it is past Macenas on the right hand side in the hillside.

Will you be coming for holidays and needing a car try Costa Coches as a local company?  if you are serious cyclists then you will find lots of them on that road once they come back from Covid restrictions.

can't believe you went ahead and bought it on line if your previous message is correct.  it could be a complete wreck so good luck you may need it.  It is quite a way out from Mojacar as well if it's where I think it is.  

It is 5 minutes from mojacar estates so right in the town get your facts right
