Hi , Can someone tell me a little bit more about Ciudad Quesada ?

andyrich666

HI

What would you like to know ?

Its a large ExPat area built on to the mainly Spanish town of Rojales but only a few miles drive / walk and you can be in some nice Spanish areas.

There is a really beautiful beach not far in the town of Guadamar about 6 miles away, both Dunes and normal sand, I liked a lot. Not far from Airports of San Javier or Alicante, the town does not really have a good public transport infrastructure, has a really good hotel / golf course and small shops, plenty of Bars and eateries, and it has good areas and not so good.

There is a little video here with a nippy (cheesy) little tune, worth a watch, have a look and then come back and tell us what more you need to know

I can tell you it is a lot warmer than Paisley. I could tell you more but you would need to give me a clue. What is it you want to know?

Andy, Please be advised there is a frequent bus services running from Rojales on a route round Quesada.

The weather here in Essex has changed tonight, it feels like Winter now, I am quite cold ! They think their might be a couple of weeks of late Sun in the 20's next week.

Ive seen the bus stops but I have only ever seen a single bus once, I did though see some timetables but only in the Main street but they was not for Rojales.

I take it there are plenty of busses from Rojales to other towns though, its good to know, thanks for that.

There is a good international school in Quesada and a good Spanish school in Rojales, there is a great choice of shops and supermarkets in and around Quesada including two chemists, Mercadons, Lidl, DIY stores, Irish linen shop, electrical suppliers et al. There are many restaurants. If you want fish and chips, English breakfast, British, Italian, Himalayan, Indian, French or Spanish it is all there for you.

Surely you don't need advice on the weather?

Missile HI

Can I ask you Is that new Restaurant / Bar open or fully built yet next to the Amstelaria ?

Hi,

Yes there is a new one. There are several bars and restaurants in that local. FYI, I would recommend the Spice Hut

I live a ten-minute drive away from Quesada and visit it often. I was up that way earlier. There's one snag for me personally. All the roundabouts make me dizzy enough to want to eat more than I normally do.

I had curry and chips today, with ali ollie, bread and chocolate ice cream to finish. According to my calorie chart, I can't eat anything for the next two days.

And I've got an invitation to the giant Wok on the way to Benijofar on Saturday. I hope they still do the lobster in the evening.

And I've just thought of Quesada fish and chips. We live in a wicked world.

It depends on what you want, very built up area consisting of plenty of eateries, personally to built up for me to much concrete. Its very popular tho
I prefer to live bit further inland and visit Quesada for evening or day out .
But its all a matter of personal taste we all need something different,

There is no "concrete" in Quesada, i.e. no houses over two stories
