Re: Ciudad Quesada
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

Re: Ciudad Quesada
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.

Re: Ciudad Quesada
Surely you don't need advice on the weather?

Re: Ciudad Quesada
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.

Re: Ciudad Quesada
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,
