Hi Everyone,

Myself & my husband Andrew have considered moving to Spain for a fews years & recently travelled along the coast from Marbella. When we reached Moriara Javea, Jalon, we knew it was the area we could live in. On 15th April we are coming over for a more in depth look at the areas, can anyone give us advice? We don't want to be in the main resort areas but not to far away, perhaps in a village with a shop a couple of bars & cafe, Spanish Locals & British expats.

Have a look at El Portet very near Moraira, my Father lived there for many years, I really liked the area, however Canary Island climate settled the issue-
