moving to almoradi

Hi, I am thinking of moving to Almoradi or albatra (not sure if spelt correctly), which is the larger town and has more ex-pats living there. I want to move to a Spanish village but would like to know there are few english people there, and kids in school. I have been thinking about moving to Spain for years and we are going to take the plunge at the end of this year. My partner will be working in England and coming to Spain most weeks...... I would love to hear from anyone that lives in either of these towns. Karen

Hi Karen,
Nice to see you are moving to Spain in the very near future. My partner and I have lived in Almoradi for over 7 years and we love it here. Its a Spanish town with approx 18,000 inhabitants and in my opinion 95% of these are Spanish. There are expats but not overrun and there are some good schools for infants, primary and secondary aged children as we have both Spanish and British friends with children at school and we have only heard good reports, however you need to do some research for yourself to ensure you are happy with the facts.
Albatera is also a nice place, which also has expats but is a lot smaller than Almoradi, but with lots of Spanish nationals. Albetera is further inland than Almoradi and is obviously further to the beaches/coast.
The decision is yours and if you require any other info feel free to ask.

Hiya,

On the subject of moving to Almoradi, I have been setting my sights on the big move over. But need something to occupy my time with and hopefully make a living out of. Is there anything Almoradi needs that it hasn't already got?? e.g A retail outlet, A service??

Where to watch live football

My husband is an avid football fan and is wondering if anyone can suggest where to watch Man Utd v Chelsea on Sunday. Preferably in Almoradi but is prepared to travel if he has to.

Almoradi

Hi js,
Just joined as a new member and had to respond to your request about where your husband can watch Man United against Chelsea on Sunday.
I am only aware of one place in Almoradi that will be showing this which is a place called Bar Elite. If you are willing to drive then then there are numerous sports bars in Benimar or Quesada. We tend to go to the Breeze bar in benimar as it has a great atmosphere. The choice is yours!!!!

FIESTAS IN ALMORADI

Can anyone tell me when the summer fiestas begin. I am told that they are known as Moros y Cristianos and it is such a spectacle that you have to see it once in your lifetime. Does anybody know if there are other fiestas before the summer? Thanks

Almoradi

I concur the comments made by the last post and will add that there is also a street funfair for all, private parties, which everyone is welcome to and the general atmosphere is electric, especially during the parades on the friday and saturday.

Man Utd v Schalke Champions league semi-final

Don´t forget you football lovers out there. A huge game tomorrow night at 20.45 live on ITV 1. It appears a formality for Man Utd, but they need to be careful as the way they played on Sunday anything can happen, nevertheless as a United supporter I have faith in their ability and should be too strong for Schalke. Please add your views on the outcome!!!

Almoradi

Everybody wants to see a great Champions League Final, it will only be great if the 'Mighty Reds' are in it!!
What's the score going to be???
