WHERE ARE THE ENGLISH

I would be interested to know how many Brits there are in this area, my friends are looking at moving over and do not want to live in the same area as me, not because we do not get on but because there are a lot of Brits where we are in La Marina and its a bit much for them, they both speak Spanish and have spent the last 4 years learning. They need a place that still gives them the feeling of home but not with a greasy spoon on every corner. What is peoples thoughts on Almoradi as an area

Almoradi

I have the same quesiton to....I have looked at La Marina aswell, but have decided on a Spanish town, I have looked at Albatera, Catral and Almoradi, from what I here they all have a small expat community. I have now have the problem of which place to choose??????

I think Almoradi will be the one because it is larger and has good transport.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Ref La Maina. There are a lot of Brits there but the Spanish out number them by about 10 to 1. Its just that the Brits on La Marina have there own patch inside this Spanish Urbanisation. So by the way do the Swedes, Dutch, Iclanders,German and French

Hi would anyone know if beer prices and food are more expensive in La Marina than say in Almoradi or Albatera?

Hi Dave,
We have lived in Almoradi for more than 7 years and we have seen many changes during this time. It is a beautiful Spanish town with not too many expats and there are only 3/4 greasy spoons as to use your expression. There are approximately 20,000 inhabitants with 95% Spanish. You have all the necessary amenities on your doorstep and are only 15 minutes drive to the coast. Having said that, although their is a Bus station it would be advisable to have a car, as the buses are not that frequent. Please feel free to ask any other points that we may be able to help you with.
