hi mitzyboy thank you so much for your help, we are looking at the town center i have a car so can travel so any help would be great, we are moving within the next 18 months, my daughter is 4, but will be 5, i have not yet been to oliva but i should be going out soon, i would live to put her in a state school and spanish if possible, thank you for taking the time to help me it is really appreciated xx xx

Errr ... OK. I really suggest you come here before you decide on the town centre. Oliva is split into three parts. The old town, the new town, and the playa. The majority of the shops and schools are certainly in the centre, but it can be quite a noisy place at night. The beach area is quite pleasant and there are blue flag beaches around. Theres a lot of property back from the beach area. The old town .. well, its a white town with narrow streets, but that leads to a lack of parking. Theres a fair amount of fiestas in Oliva ... and they go on fairly late. There are some new builds at the South end of town, which are a little more out of the noise :-)

What has made you choose Oliva if you have never been there?

I live in a village 1 mile from Oliva towards Gandia and we are about 1 mile from a beautiful beach. In the village we have an infants school more of a nursery really that has just been built, there is also an infants school for children up to age of 11 and then they go to Oliva or perhaps Bellerequard which again is near Oliva. My Spanish neighbours have children that go to that school. Our population is about 2600 at the last count and the village boasts its own sports ground and swimming pool and there is a newly built park with childrens play area and an open air theatre. There is also a thriving Casa Cultura (like a community centre) with a 3- 400 seat theatre in which the local school puts on its dance exhibitions and plays etc. There is property for sale here as everywhere in Spain and is really a buyers market at the moment. Most rental property comes furnished

There is also a convenient bus service to Oliva and also to Gandia the nearest large town. Personally I would not want to live in Oliva but we use it for shopping as it has an abundance of supermarkets. It boasts a wide Paseo for and evening stroll with many bars and coffed stops. There is also a Friday market held there. Oliva old town as Mitzyboy says has very narrow streets and parking is practically non existant. The new part of the town is mainly apartment blocks and Oliva town is about two miles from a splendid beach.

We like Oliva for its conveniences, shops, bars, restaurants, drycleaners etc. in fact everything you need that is not in our village although we do have about 10 bars!! and five banks!!

I would suggest you cast your net a little further afield as Oliva can be noisey especially with the many fiestas and fireworks they have.

Try the town hall web site: www.oliva.es
If you use google chrome as your search engine you can get a reasonable translation (that technology always amazes me )

I think a couple of brand new schools have been opened this year.

I have place in the town and love it as it is a working town that remains pretty busy all year.
If you want something quieter the smaller towns between Oliva and Gandia may suit you or perhaps a development on the edge of town to the south.

You really should visit before you decide where to live

Good Luck

When you are here go and look around La Font D'en Carros, and maybe pop up to the area that overlooks Oliva on the hill, Tossal Gros. Next to Oliva is Piles to the North, Bellreguard, Daimus. To the South are El Verger & Ondara. Slightly inland is Pego. Google them, you may find some info
