Info on Martos.
 

Hello, hope someone can provide me with some information about Martos. I have been researching areas in the Jean province with hopes on eventually purchasing a property out there. I understand that most of the areas are predominately Spanish which is what I was looking for, however when speaking to an estate agent in Spain, he stated that in Martos there has been a large influx of North Africans and Eastern Europeans due to the cheap property prices. Can anyone provide any info please as I want to live as already mentioned in a predominately Spanish area.

Many Thanks.

The town is famous for its olive oil.- It was founded (I read in Wiki) in 3100BC and there are around 25000 inhabitants. It has a castle, city walls, Roman bridge and a cathedral.
Martos has some history as a place with gypsy problems. Around 100 of their houses were burnt by the local folk in 1986.

Following on from this, is there a FAcebook page for folk living in and around Martos. Where we live at the moment we have 'Items for Sale' 'Preguntas y Mas' etc and wondered as its a good way of meeting people new to the area.
