Hi Paulles, we are currently seriously looking at the Pillar de la Horadada area of Sth Blanca, can u give us any cautious info or concerns, positive or negative, we are in our late 40s and thinking of moving to have a better lifestyle / start a small business, we are quite familar with the mar menor/los Alcazares surrounding area, we have visited many Areas and are still open to finding Paradise!

I have only driven through that area and i am not familiar with it, perhaps a thread along the lines of your question might help. Our place is inland the other side of Murcia City, in the ricote Valley, or Valle de ricote. Our nearest Town is Blanca with its river and man made beaches, its 45 mins from San Javier or Alicante by car, good luck with your search.

My wife was taking 3 tablets a day for arthritis in the UK, now down to one alternate days. New urbanisations opening regularly, and they are legal, although we bought a resale which avoids the pitfalls. Nice and quiet, but plenty of places for the evenings if you want to go out. Lots of small businesses run by Expats, look at some of the on line papers to get an idea. Round Town News, The Leader, Coast Rider are all free papers here, Costa Blanca News is one you buy. All will have information on the area you are interested in.
