We have been living in Spain for almost a year, and now live close to Roquetas.
I am now in my third apartment and I am starting to think that Spain is not the place for me due to the noise levels from neighbours. We live in an urbanisation, which is beautiful and well cared for.
I am not sure if this is bad luck, but I am now 2 months into my third apartment and I am ready to pack up and leave.
It seems in all three apartments I've lived in, I've had neighbours who seem to be rearranging furniture all day long. The dull beats of music and rabble from loud voices penetrates through the walls.
We love our jobs here, the weather and everything else, but at the same time a bit of peace and quiet is important to us.
It's Sunday and we just want to slob around in our PJs and watch the TV, but we're listening to the dull beats of music playing, topped with the constant footsteps and dragging of furniture. We're on a limited budget and can't afford a house or a villa.
Is it just bad luck, is it just how it is here? Do apartment blocks exist with adequate sound proofing?
I'd love to hear from you :(
