Hi Christine Welcome to the forum!
There plenty of value for money shops about, but at the moment the euro isn't helping though. Campasol is only 5 mins down the road which is an English Urbanization it has most things. A good Brica which is a sort of B&Q. Ikea, Primark etc is about 35 mins away and there are some good places on the way to Mazaron it just depends on what you are looking for!
May i ask where you are sailing to and from as I might drive down with some friends later in the year so I am just interested.
Where is your apartment Jardines, Narajos or the Penthouses? I'm out in March so maybe we might meet?
Good luck with your drive and moving in!
