forgive me for my badly worded post... i have always referred to drinking establishments as pubs with my mates, not really a great deal of difference in the term... as to not many peed up people, unfortunately i used to be one of them, and we used to start at one end of boliches on a half pint marathon down to the crappy london pub area to end up in the clubs there. another point i must clarify is that when i said clubs i meant in fuengi, but "bars" or whatever you want to call them are all over the place... little back alley bars are spanish fair enough and rightly said that los boliches is more of a spanish destination (although from what I remember used to be some swedish too ) but on the front in the summer it can get lively. and with regards to safety there, I was mugged once near the big blue glass hotel (forget its name)... everyone has a different way of looking at places but due to that incident it slightly tarnished my view... and no, i didnt get mugged when on one of the aforementioned marathons!!!

I would like to live in a nice urbanization town house with garden, with own dip pool or communal pool. near to shops and beach for the dog. so any areas people know off would be great.

dogs are banned from our beaches

Does anyone know if they are very strict on renting properties if the tenants have dogs.
My dog does not moult or smell

our last place said no pets on the contract - we have two cats - told the owner before we signed it - he changed the contract

we did know some people who had a landlord put the rent up when he discovered they had a labrador - even though there was nothing in the contract about pets

Selwo Park is a bit out in the middle of nowhere.

Not very residential.

No shops nearby or the beach.

What about the town San Pedro? It is very residential and plently of shops and good schools.

I love San Pedro and it will be even better if they sort out the coast road. You can walk to the beach too. Handy for Marbella and Estepona.

Plus they have a paseo so your dog can walk along.

hi.

depends on the agent really, but if you are looking at the costa del sol, there are LOADS of properties lying empty and i would think as long as your dog is "clean" (hopefully you realise what i mean, i am sure your dog is lovely, didnt know how to word that diplomatically!!), then i am sure a lot of rental agents would be cool with it as long as the rent gets paid, a lot of them are pretty desperate.

Thank you for that i will have a look at San Pedro. x

Hi

I know what you meant lol, I know there are a quite alot with dogs in Spain.
Just would have to look around and make sure i find a property that accepts dogs. x

but deffo avoid los boliches, and also benalmadena. many of the snobbier expats refer to those places as "british council estates in the sun" and those areas are frequently shown on shows like "costa del street crime". (NOT MY OPINION BY THE WAY!) A mate of mine lives in los boliches and constantly tells me about the algerian drug pushers, african prostitutes, drunk limey p***heads etc etc, so doesnt really sound very nice, although i guess some people like that????

A shame really as these areas do have SOME nice people and nice houses, you just have to look a bit harder in those areas. try looking at www.kyero.com ive always found that really good for properties to rent.....

http://www.kyero.com/browse/malaga-p...1ppp20slt1srt0

in fact take a look, for example, at this page (above), prices for 3 bed starting at only 300 quid a month.....

And you live where ?
What a load of crap, it may be a bit rough down 24 hour square, but then what do you expect with a name like that.
Fantasy tv shows, well we all know about seriously edited tv shows don`t we, as soon as the cameras roll so do the idiots.
I am about Los Boliches quite a bit and have yet to see drug pushers and prostitutes along there.
The worst i have seen are the looky looky men with their handbags, dvds and the Chinese with their stupid bloody flashing earrings.
Oh yeah and the Spanish guy that plays the accordian.

When you are in the area call me up and you can show me the spouted crap.

Hi
Had a look Coin is where i do not want to be, was there last time lol.
But the kyero site is very good, seen some nice townhouses.

Thank you xx
