Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Okay next newbie question. After agreeing a purchase price what other fees are there? Obviously the conveyancing fee, and local authority fees...Can anyone give a rough estimate on all extras...I can spend hours trying to do it online, but you guys are there and have gone through the process...One day I'll be in the position to pass on what I learn..THANKS..
Is there a "STICKY" for this kind of information?
Lawyers will be the next 'find'...

Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Hi there, Nicola from Devon. I recently purchased a town house in Martos and have been back 4/5 times. I have travelled from Malaga Airport to Martos by car hire and taxi, but both prove quite expensive. I have been assured there is one bus daily, not weekends, that leaves Malaga airport at 3pm, and returns from Martos at 10 am. I wonder if anyone has travelled this way, and how reliable the service is. Any information would be very much appreciated. I am new to this forum, but have found some of the answers/questions very helpful.

Hi Nicola..I took that bus last week..left Malaga bus station at 3pm arrived Martos sometime after 7..
Below is the bus company website in English
ALSA - Making travel simpler
Another thing I used to travel around was a website/smartphone app called BlaBla Car
www.blablacar.com
Easy to register and easy to pick up rides..just call or message the person giving the ride. I used it from Jaen to Granada and from Malaga to Sabinillas...but people go EVERYWHERE and at different times of the day...check Malaga to Martos or Jaen OR Malaga Airport to Martos or Jaen and see what comes up..
But the bus was good and it has wifi password WALSA...

For car hire I use economy car hire uk based firm register with them then you can see what hire co you want most have the fair fuel policy meaning you fill up on return and nearly all are off the airport meaning cheaper rates 5 days hire in November £ 35 for a brand new car or cargest is another register and get10 %off I always take the cheaper option of the 2

Thanks for all the information, the app sounds very interesting, I will give it some thought, and maybe register. Nice to know the bus is reliable though, already do enough driving in this country. Cheers Nicola
Hi there timmyf, yes, unbelievably I am!!!! What a small world. We were able to eat thanks to you!! I purchased a town house the very next day in the old part of Martos, through Derryl and Diego. They were great! I am still trying to master a little of the language, vino blanco being the most successful!!! I hope all is well for you. I think I will try the bus next time I visit. Nice talking to you, cheers Nicola
