Totally agree Beadso, we are so pleased our experience didn't put us off coming to Spain. We have just purchased a villa at Pinar de Campoverde and are settling down in our new home. Definitely buy in an established area, what you see is what you get. We would advise anyone coming to Spain to rent first, take your time and have a good look round. What seemed a good place to live originally at La Tercia wasn't right for us, and only renting there for a while made us realise that. The lifestyle in Spain is wonderful, we love it here.
