Talked to a few people who live there and they've not had a bad word to say about the place.We are going over later in the year to have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 2, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2019 You can go on a shit load of holidays for the cost of buying somewhere and you chose where you go rather than having to go back to the same place. This is easily my preferred option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be decent value You only have to go inland 1 hour inland on most of the costas and you’ll not see any English breakfasts type places I’d concentrate on 1 hour drive North and south of Alicante airport ( flights will always be plentiful) then drive inland into the mountains. Andalusia would’nt have quite as good a climate as Murcia region which is classed as the only desert area in Europe and I’d say it would also be cheaper in that area. Flights into Andalucia would mean flying into Malaga and it’s a fairly long journey to Andalucia from there. If you are serious I’d make sure you do your research and if possible spend a holiday in the area you choose and view properties while you are there before you take the plunge. Just checked weather this week where our place and it’s 22c best day and 16c worst day, would love a bit of that at the moment.

Burndens Bogs Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I fancy doing long term rents in Spain from the end of Oct till the end of March, then return to the U.K for Spring and Summer. Cheap as chips, it's not worth putting the money into buying imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Faustus Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 In laws have a place in chappelle baton, think mid west France. They drive it in a day (I think), but close enough to la Rochelle. We've done it via train into Poitiers. Quite rural, very warm, cheap as fuck. They bought a farm for next to fuck all, huge property and loads of land. They've been going over every holiday for about six years (she works in a school), almost ready to retire there... Some work to be done, and they researched for years, but worth it. Re the location; lakeside beach and hypermarkets within a short journey, only English voice you'll here are a scattering of ex pat's, and maybe some bucket shakers visiting angoloume...

Youri McAnespie Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Poitiers weather today 5c (max) -1c (min). Sounds like a busman's holiday to me, fleeing is still fleeing even in the middle of a vineyard. Dismissing the Canaries is a bit hasty imo, I genuinely wouldn't know where to get a full English in say; Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife or La Gomera... As an aside, I'm in awe at Miami's ability to shoehorn some alt-shite content into almost any thread. Quite remarkable.
