Anyone know anything about this town - it appears to be close to Guardamar Del Segura. I may have the opportunity of a job around that area (fingers crossed and candles lit please - then I don't have to return to England). It would involve us moving but know nothing about the area at all. Any helpful comments gratefully received

Nearest big places, Torrevieja and Alicante. Not sure of the mix re Spanish and expats, but won't be that far from the coast.

Thanks Mike, I understand that there is a large british element around the area which is the reason why the job might evolve but we would prefer to live slightly more Spanish (as we currently live in Albir and more English and Norweigan are spoken than Spanish!)

Oohhhh Sue - is there a job for me, we may be looking to move after Christmas.

pm you!!!

Hi Sue the house we own in La marina is under san fulgencio. La marina urb is very mixed. We have Spanish, Dutch and Icelandic neighbours. dolores and guardamar are very nice. Los Montesinos about 15 - 20 mins drive away is very traditional but with a nice mix of nationalities, Has open air movies in the square etc. I do believe a lot of ex pats live and own in guardamar but it is still quite Spanish., La Marina village is still very quaint. The beaches are lovely.. Good Luck

Thank you for that Jean - we mix with a lot of nationalities here in Albir and we would prefer to mix more with the Spanish this time around the towns highligted are they more Spanish?

Hi Sue,
so far only been to Delores to the government building to sign for the house, but i loved los montesinos, there is still a square and on a sunday the Spanish go to church and then meet in the square and sit on the street cafe whilst the children played., There is a small expat presence and they are builkding an urb about 10 mins walk from the centre but it doesn't look like its going to be huge. guardamar I found to be still quite traditional ( you don't gret lime in yer lager!!! LOL ) a few fish restaurants on the front and a nice little street market and park. To be honest I think it is one of those areas where you can feel comfortable but still know you're in spain..

Thank you Jean - will have to drive over and have a look around - hopefully will know on or after the weekend if the job is a "goer"

Why, why, why do people never ever ring when they promise to. Yet another weekend of utter despair (God help the OH)

She rang - I have a job - yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't know any details at all but am seeing them tomorrow with OH cause as she says it involves us moving and then I won't have to remember everything she says to tell him - see she knows me already.

I am so pleased I am shaking
